^it's p decent, esp Paul Reiser, Jennifer Grey, Freddie Roman, fellow who plays the bigot-abused Indian immigrant tennis pro who wields Yiddishisms in his daily vocab.

I didn't much care for what I caught of that but it could just be that I'm all coming-of-age'd out. I'd like to see Reiser get his own weary vehicle, I've been enjoying his supporting roles lately (this, Married, Whiplash)

He had one a few years ago, it flopped super-hard and got pulled after maybe two eps? Andy Daly and Henry Rollins appeared as his suburban neighbours
