colinrogers1 Stephen Fry was the best thing in this. Leaving after 3 episodes was the best thing he could have done as this nosedived and changed course of story line almost immediately. The main characters have no real depth and the sub plot of the intrepid explorer navigating his way back to a regular life is going to pan out as is now painfully obvious even after so few episodes. The three millennial types are portrayed as shallow and vapid, so in a way , accurate. For a drowning publication, they do little or no writing or journalism if you can call it that. So no wonder it's on the ropes, mind that's hardly the point but the premise and you should stick with that or the story becomes tiresome. This looked like it was going to have a slant toward wildlife and a story about the planet but that's now forgotten, possibly part of Fry's contract clause that his 3 episodes would have such story line. And what about the guy in the tent? That had something funny but now forgotten. Did he die?Dreadful and forgettable situation comedy. Will be very surprised if this gets a second run.

hkpuppy the humor of this show, obviously is in the expense of people whom are not very good with the internet and social media. and keep making fun of it making all these people feel awfully stupid. i am not very good with social media and then when i watch the show, i feel the show is laughing at me and saying i am old and stupid. i really don't enjoy this feeling so i am going to stop watching this stupid show. and i don't know how the other feel, it is such a waste of talent for actor like Stephen Fry to be in this show. not only it doesn't fit him at all, the show actually make him seems totally out of place. the other actors as well seems just to be portray as mean and self centered, and yet, they have the upper hand in everything. who will feel good watching such a show?

tlorsa The premise of this show is that the older Gen X lead who has spent his life as a rugged outdoors-man and head of a print magazine about same is trying to join and understand the modern world with the help of a team of Millennials.The actuality made brutally obvious by the writing, dialogue, and scene setups is that Millennials are the savvy and modern now-and-future, and Gen X is old, technologically illiterate, increasingly incapable of understanding the processes of the digital world in which we live, and generally clueless about the modern world.Aside from the fact that none of these things are true about Gen X, this show is part of an accelerating trend in which the same kinds of shows and tropes once employed with characters 15 or 20 years older are being applied to Gen X.(For those of you not certain, or who have seen some of the crazier definitions of Gen X, the broad conception of the generation is that it's between the ages of 35 and 50. The actor playing the lead is just 45. In fact, over 15 million "Millennials" today were for quite some time Gen X until later efforts from within the advertising and marketing sectors fed into broadly-adopted changes in the generational definitions, producing a "largest generation" by shifting millions from the "Gen X" cohort and into "Millennials".)And while Millennials come in for the standard-issue digs in the show, they mean little for two reasons perpetuated by the show itself: 1) Millennials are "young", "on the rise" and capable of "improving"; and 2) The knocks come from "old" people who are in clueless, incapable of growing intellectually and achieving new heights, and are in terminal decline.Gen X has sat largely mute and unacknowledged for while the world speaks only of Boomers (and now Millennials), and now suddenly when we exist we're portrayed ... like this.
