Jack Gordon (Joel McHale) has traveled the world as outdoorsman reporter for Outdoor Limits magazine. Owner Roland (Stephen Fry) calls him back as the magazine goes solely online. He finds himself working under his ex and bosses' daughter Brooke (Susannah Fielding). His best friend is bar owner Eddie (Chris Williams). He's forced to deal with millennial tech-obsessed co-workers Clark (Christopher Mintz-Plasse), Emma (Christine Ko), and Mason (haun Brown). There is also the inappropriate receptionist Esther (Deborah Baker Jr.). Paul (Andrew Leeds) is Brooke's mild-mannered longtime fiancée.
The premise screams bad network sitcom. That annoyed me in the pilot. However, I love an irreverent Joel McHale and lovable dork Christopher Mintz-Plasse. The generally likable cast saves this show for me. I don't get concerned about the writing. It's just spending some low-intensity time with a bunch of characters I like. It's empty calories as TV.
