Is it for you?

Who'll love it: Made for anyone who wants a laugh. If you loved Superstore or The Office, start here. Critics rate it higher than audiences do, so it rewards patience more than it chases thrills.
The mood: Light and funny.
The pace: 9 seasons, but most episodes stand on their own, so you can dip in anywhere (about 22 minutes each).
What might put you off: Nothing much: an easy pick for most people.

Drew is an assistant director of personnel in a Cleveland department store and he has been stuck there for ten years. Other than fighting with co-worker Mimi, his hobbies include drinking beer and not being able to get dates. To make a few extra bucks he has a micro-brewery going in his garage with his buddies.
