Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With a small audience and a quick end and middling reviews (44% on Rotten Tomatoes), it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it: Made for anyone who wants a laugh. If you loved Superstore or The Office, start here.
The mood: Light and funny.
The pace: 2 seasons: a few weeks of evenings, short, snackable episodes, about 8 hours in all.
What might put you off: It was cancelled, so the story may not get a proper ending.

A retired businessman runs for mayor of Los Angeles to prove he's "still got it." Once he wins, he has to figure out what he stands for, gain the respect of his biggest critic and connect with his teenage daughter, all while trying to get anything right for America's second weirdest city.
