The show fits the profile of “workplace comedy” but the writing is sharper and the acting better than I expected. Every episode thus far has been well-plotted and -written.
Apple's rapidly approaching the point where there is more than enough content for one person to watch. It won't take many more high-quality shows to appeal to a wide-enough range of viewers.
The one thing Apple won't do is deliberately choose shows that are played just to have something playing on the TV. Some viewers may describe certain shows as such, but Apple is looking for best-of-breed in the shows that appeal to a given demographic. So far they're doing very well.
