Is Startup worth sticking with? Watched one episode and thought it was poor

It's fairly consistently bland, middle-of-the-road comedy. Ferrera and Colton Dunn are likeable enough, but they're not enough to carry it. I find it pleasant background noise when I'm doing tedious paperwork.

Yes, very disappointing.

Did you mean Superstore?

It is not great as a comedy, but it talks about important things: absurd and abuse in American workplace. It might sound ridiculous for Europeans, but often that's sad truth behind the pond - it is needed in that sense.

Watched the first twenty minutes or so of Page Eight, the first in the Johnny Whorricker trilogy and I can't help but think there's some in joke I'm not getting

The dialogue seems as if it was written by a robot that has never seen two humans have a natural conversation - all stunted and stilted and abnormal, does the acting get any better?

watched all 3 films and the dialogue is all it has really, you either like Bill Nighy or you don't although I thought the dialogue was pretty sharp.Its very effected upper class ,British .I like Nighy so enjoyed them but each to his own.

Yeah I really enjoyed ferry over the weekend having seen undercover.
