The casting of Denis Leary is an insanely bad choice. He could have being awesome in the part but the writing gives him and the other actors nothing. This is just pay check material for the better known actors. I can see no way they would have signed on otherwise. Leary is the main problem, they give him nothing to work with other than bad reactions to bad jokes, and I don't think he is an actor who can bring it without a decent script and direction. The script is from an era of canned laugh tracks to boost the vague comic element. They pack so much into the first episode at a incredibly superficial level no idea has time to breath and I have no idea how they will come up with material for later episodes. The first episode feels like a first draft or even story outline which they fleshed out in 5 minutes. I have zero hope this will get better in later episodes, there is nothing good .. the casting, script, directing, photography it is all bad.
