This is the kind of show with blink and you miss it jokes. You have to pay rapt attention to detail and though it does aim to be funny, its not that funny. The humor is clever and dark and mostly dry/witty/sarcastic. The casting though is perfect and I really must say that Julia Louis does not disappoint. I especially like the Mike character because he seldom knows what is going on and his expressions are priceless. I know it got an emmy and all the brouhaha but it is all right. If you're looking for laughs this show is not for you. But if you like cerebral humor, it is right up your alley. 7 stars is what I think it deserves.
