Surprisingly bad.

The show’s creator, Jonathan Tropper, has done something interesting with his star. There’s a frisson of recognition that happens when you put Hamm in a role like this.

If you strip away the non-stop banter some of the coming-into-my-own dramatic arcs of side characters, and that aforementioned satirical underscoring, there is a pretty fun dark comedy bubbling under here.

The actors are fine across the board, but the stand-out is Catherine Keener.
