Nick Mohammed’s low-key but entertaining comedy is a real success and brings David Schwimmer back to his comedic best.
Set a “GC-HQ” and focusing on an arrogant NSA agent (Schwimmer) coming in to shake up the UK set up, and in doing so strikes up an unlikely friendship with Mohammed’s character.
It is a modern workplace comedy, one which we see less and less of these days, and it is nice to see it updated cleverly here.
The show is at its best when Schwimmer and Mohammed are interacting, and they play off each other very well. Since Friends finished, Schwimmer has pursued multiple different paths but this is his best comedy performance since the iconic role of Ross Geller.
Nick Mohammed has a unique energy as the lead that works well, and it is his writing that is the real treat here. It is unassuming, smart, and thoroughly entertaining.
I’m really looking forward to this coming back for a second season, and the first season was a really nice treat to discover.
Rating = 3.5/5
