Good show that should be better, and I can't put my finger on why it misses. It is about a bunch of Gen-Xers that were friends from college reaching middle age in NYC. It is Sienfeldian in some ways, with incredibly selfish and narcissistic characters, although the characters have more depth than Sienfeld's did. The show goes for dramedy which doesn't always work. Some of the episodes are hilarious, like the brainstorming session, and some are just really uncomfortable.
Keegan-michael Key is good as the lead, although he is a little over the top. Colbie Smoulders is solid, not spectacular. Fred Savage and Annie Parisse are both excellent, with Parisse almost carrying the show at times.
