This could possibly be one of the worst shows I have ever seen. It is awful. And I don't mean offensive. I'll start with a positive comment. The idea of the show is really good and if it had decent writing and better pacing, it might make it a really good TV show.

Think about it. What would make a cooler show then one about an American who gets sent to India because his company is looking to cut costs? Only to fit that he is taking the job that an Indian had been working his whole life to achieve (and can't marry until he can prove his worth). All while the parent company is wasting money elsewhere. Just the interaction between the American manager and the Indian co-manager should make for good TV. They mess that up.

Then are other potential interesting dynamics but they waste it due to bad writing. The conclusions of the episodes are far too sudden. It feels like a live TV show that gets surprised at the end to find that they're running out of time and they rush the ending to make it fit in the 30 minute timeslot.

Just all around one of the worst shows ever (they could be much better). The show is mindless, the cultural differences are shallow, and the plot is weak. And if Community gets cancelled and this show gets another season I will officially stop watching all of the comedy programming Thursday nights.
