The creative team behind Ted Lasso is involved, so expectations are high. Hope it brings the same heart and humour. Indian audiences love a good underdog story, and this seems to fit the bill.

Interesting concept, but I hope it's not just another "old guy tries to be cool with kids" trope. The daughter's storyline with the burnt-down house sounds more chaotic and fun, to be honest. Let's see if Carell can pull off something fresh.

As someone who grew up watching The Office US on repeat, this is an instant watch for me. Michael Scott going to college? Sign me up! The weekly release will be fun, gives us something to look forward to.

Bill Lawrence from Scrubs! That's a solid pedigree. John C. McGinley from Scrubs is also in the cast. Feels like a reunion. Hope the humour translates well for us here. The trailer looked promising.

The daughter punching her professor husband who left her for a student? That's some spicy drama mixed with comedy 😂. Reminds me of those masala Bollywood plots but in a Western setting. Should be entertaining!
