@Gargron it's really odd, I don't think it was even bad just kinda dull most of the time. Line they had no idea what tone they were going for in the performances, and then it was edited as a drama for some reason.

There's a staggering amount of talent in that show but it's hard to spot it.

Also Carrell is a good actor but he's wasted in a mostly straight role. He should have played the science advisor and focused the show on that character.
