Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for anyone who wants a laugh. If you loved The Thick of It or Party Down, start here.
The mood
Light and funny.
The pace
3 seasons: a few weeks of evenings, short, snackable episodes, about 20 hours in all.
What might put you off
  • Rated TV-14. Probably too much for younger kids.
  • It was cancelled, so the story may not get a proper ending.

Norm Henderson was once a fairly well-known -- but not particularly good -- professional hockey player. Norm's penchant for gambling and not paying taxes resulted in his permanent expulsion from the game. Instead of jail, he was sentenced to community service as a social worker, where his fresh perspective in the field and lack of patience for office red tape don't always jibe well with his co-workers.
