  • Gillis, who co-created the show, plays a wisecracking character, while the cast includes many veterans from the Philadelphia comedy scene.
  • Critics have noted the show's limited setting and one-dimensional characters, with some comparing it unfavorably to other workplace comedies.
  • Despite the mixed reviews, Netflix has already committed to a second season of the show.
  • Gillis' recent career resurgence includes hosting SNL and releasing a successful stand-up special on Netflix.
