Radcliffe and Morgan are so good but to me Erika Alexander and Bobby Moynihan steal the show. Their comedic timing and facial expressions have me dying.

49

QueenMelle Apr 1, 2026 +14

Erika has some classic sitcom beats that are blending in really well with the alt/comedy. It's like someone rocking a Cello during a hard rock song. Moynihan is just a ham and I love him in everything.

14

hooplehead69 Apr 1, 2026 +6

100% on Erika. Her chops are undeniable and bring so much into the mix.

6

Plane-Tie6392 Apr 1, 2026 +4

Interesting cause I love Moynihan to death (his “Batmin” podcast is one of my favorite things ever!) but I feel like they don’t entirely know how to use him here.

4

hooplehead69 Apr 1, 2026 +2

Interesting! I literally laugh out loud at everything he says in this so it is at least working for me 🤷‍♂️

2

Plane-Tie6392 Apr 1, 2026 +1

I still think he’s funny and sometimes he really gets me on this show for sure. Just fund it to be not the strongest role he’s been given.

1

Grunklsnort Apr 1, 2026 +79

In the football camp episode Daniel Radcliffe stole the show.

79

bigdaddyt2 Apr 1, 2026 +43

Only cause that big b**** mail lady truly stole it

YourAverageJet Apr 1, 2026 +62

“Big b**** mail lady” That’s Megan Thee Stallion bro lol

Kradget Apr 1, 2026 +11

You're allowed to think the famously attractive Megan Thee Stallion is attractive, friend. Edit: I mean, ideally don't be gross about it, but it's not a big deal otherwise

11

StuffonBookshelfs Apr 1, 2026 +1

In fact, it’s probably required that you find her attractive.

1

Kradget Apr 1, 2026 +1

There are people who just aren't especially into women, and that's okay, too. Pretty sure the big thing is remembering she's still a human being rather than an object whether or not you're especially attracted to her.

1

StuffonBookshelfs Apr 1, 2026 +1

She’s an incredibly talented human, which I think might be why we should all be attracted to her. Not just for her physical assets. And even if you’re not sexually into women, you can absolutely be into her humanity.

1

Kradget Apr 1, 2026 +1

Oh, no, I enjoy her music (fairly casually) and I've seen her on a couple of TV shows and she did well as a guest star as far as I could tell. But I also think John Leguizamo is generally good in things, and that's not quite the same as finding him attractive.

1

Chataboutgames Apr 1, 2026 +2

Keep your hands where we can see them

2

Reddit_is_fascist69 Apr 1, 2026 +9

I mean, that b**** literally stole all the screen real estate

9

bigdaddyt2 Apr 1, 2026 +9

The strutting behind the camera slowly getting closer was hilarious

9

Plane-Tie6392 Apr 1, 2026 +2

What zip code is that real estate in?

2

muad_dibs Apr 1, 2026 +31

I liked the joke of Reggie telling Arthur, even though it’s becoming popular again, that he couldn’t use the word “petard” in his house because it’s offensive.

31

Plane-Tie6392 Apr 1, 2026 +3

Definitely a good one! But honestly it’s so sad that word’s making a comeback.

3

calgaryborn Apr 1, 2026 +62

I'm really enjoying it. I know Tracy Morgan's style isn't for everyone, but the supporting characters are great and really balance him out.

62

CrossoverEpisodeMeme Apr 1, 2026 +39

The combo of him, Radcliffe, and Moynihan makes for a great dynamic. But also I'm a huge fan of Moynihan so I'm biased. The scenes with Moynihan and Erika Alexander have been great (the tinder episode lol)

39

FirewaterTenacious Apr 1, 2026 +9

Yes that tinder stuff wrecked me. I haven’t laughed out loud this much from a series in years.

hummingbird4289 Apr 1, 2026 +8

Do they still have wine bars? I mean, I know they don't have malls.

8

da9ve Apr 1, 2026 +7

I've also been digging Moynihan - this supporting role, like his one in Mr Mayor, is his sweet spot and he's excellent in it.

7

Plane-Tie6392 Apr 1, 2026 +2

Do you do Moynihan’s “WHO ME?” podcast at all?

2

PatSajaksDick Apr 1, 2026 +1

Who me?

1

Infamous-Lab-8136 Apr 1, 2026 +19

Most sites that do any kind of a renewal likelihood tracking say it's practically a lock for renewal. The numbers are strong for viewership

19

QueenMelle Apr 1, 2026 +3

I'm pretty scared the cast is unsustainable. Apple seems tp be the only streamer with stacked casts that throws out consistent seasons.

3

somesthetic Apr 1, 2026 +21

It has a comfortable NBC sitcom feel to it, like Parks & Rec, 30 Rock, or the Office. I enjoy it a lot. Daniel Radcliffe doing a sitcom still kinda blows my mind.

21

please_and_thankyou Apr 1, 2026 +19

Go back and find Miracle Workers (I recommend the Oregon Trail season). Without needing financial stability, DR is killing it on TV.

19

whythehellknot Apr 1, 2026 +3

I liked the first season of Miracle Workers but the second one hasn't captured my interest as much.

3

please_and_thankyou Apr 1, 2026 +1

They’re all stand alone series so jump to S3!

1

DM_ME_DOPAMINE Apr 1, 2026 +1

Oh man, his dance moves in that season broke me.

1

djackieunchaned Apr 1, 2026 +3

It’s produced by the same people who did 30 Rock

3

fakieTreFlip Apr 1, 2026 +1

It definitely shows

chazriverstone Apr 1, 2026 +11

Yeah I am also loving this show. However I love Tracy Morgan and find almost everything he does funny. I also think Daniel Radcliffe is great in just about everything he does. But while I'm bias, the humor in this show is really well thought out. Its very layered and I've found through accidentally rewatching episodes (when Peacock autoplays them after I've been watching basketball) that they are even better the second time around - and I think that is a sign of genuinely great comedy

11

Plane-Tie6392 Apr 1, 2026

Typical-Business9686 Apr 1, 2026 +5

Does it get better after the first 2 episodes? I gave it a try and felt differently about it. I'm a big fan of NBC comedies and particularly 30 Rock and Girls5eva and so far my impression has been that the jokes don't land and the delivery is forced. I want to like it but am having a hard time bringing myself to watch another episode.

5

Nujers Apr 1, 2026 +1

First two episodes were easily the weakest. It gets better.

1

fakieTreFlip Apr 1, 2026 +1

Third episode is really funny so I'd say give that one a go, and if you still don't like it then it probably isn't the show for you

1

Boozsia Apr 1, 2026 +1

It starts to hit it stride. The last episode has them firing on all cylinders now.

1

ibeckman671 Apr 1, 2026 +1

Felt the same way, 3 episodes in and meh

1

panda388 Apr 1, 2026 +5

I loved the son saying how he takes more c*** for having Dinkins as his last name than anyone else on his team, and one of his teammates is named Osama Epstein. Also Radcliffe freaking out at the tennis balls.

5

saintash Apr 1, 2026 +5

I am still laughing at how saying " you haven't aged" is a dig, I just dont know how? Is she calling me a vampire. he at the end of the episode. " and when i said you didn't age.I was clearly calling you a vampire. "

5

Chataboutgames Apr 1, 2026 +1

Also from that episode telling her to get to her apointment with "Doctor Miami of Ohio"

RollTideMeg Apr 1, 2026 +16

it's super clever.

TransmissionAD Apr 1, 2026 +9

It had a rocky start but it's awesome now. I'm a big fan and the cast is great!

MySmellyRacoon Apr 1, 2026 +2

“Rocky start?” Bruh no. It’s been great from the beginning.

2

TransmissionAD Apr 1, 2026 +1

I thought the pilot wasn't great, but I've enjoyed every episode after that

1

TinaBelchersBF Apr 1, 2026 +1

I was also pretty meh on the pilot and haven't watched since then. I'll have to pick it up again and give it a few more episodes.

1

dullship Apr 1, 2026 +1

I agree the pilot didn't quite grab me (though most pilots don't) but it very quickly finds its feet.

GrandpaDon Apr 1, 2026 +4

Agreed, it went from a show we'll maybe watch to one we're looking forward to

4

RentalGore Apr 1, 2026 +3

Radcliffe’s fully bought in and I’m here for it. The show is great.

3

Plane-Tie6392 Apr 1, 2026 +4

Does he ever not go all in? I mean he BECAME Weird Al.

4

Sharksrmydrug Apr 1, 2026 +3

Love this show and I'm not a big Tracy Morgan fan but in this he's great. And Daniel Radcliffe can do no wrong in anything imo

3

suburbanerd Apr 1, 2026 +3

Bobby Moynihan is giving a career performance. Honestly there should be an Emmy for him next year. Tracey Morgan seems to have dialed down his delivery in a way that works for the show.

3

Plane-Tie6392 Apr 1, 2026 +1

Wow, crazy to me. I find Bobby Moynihan to be one of the funniest people ever but this is one of my least favorite roles of his for me.

1

NortonBurns Apr 1, 2026 +7

Odd how they chose Reggie. Even the Wikipedia page says 'Not to be confused with The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin' [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The\_Fall\_and\_Rise\_of\_Reggie\_Dinkins](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fall_and_Rise_of_Reggie_Dinkins) They appear to have nothing else in common. At first i thought it might have been a reboot, but no.

7

0ttoChriek Apr 1, 2026 +3

I assumed this was an American remake of Reggie Perrin. I take it that it isn't?

3

NortonBurns Apr 1, 2026 +2

btw, watch out for those flash salamanders. ;)

2

NortonBurns Apr 1, 2026 -1

It says it's about some ex-sportsman, so I very much doubt it.

-1

Plane-Tie6392 Apr 1, 2026 +1

What? How is that relevant?

1

NortonBurns Apr 1, 2026

Because The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin wasn't about an ex-sportsman. Makes it a fairly simple deduction, assuming you're paying attention.

0

Plane-Tie6392 Apr 1, 2026 +1

No, that’s just a dumb assumption. Remakes change stuff like that all the time.

1

NortonBurns Apr 1, 2026

OK. So, you obviously have absolutely no clue what Reginald Perrin was about, yet you're digging your heels in on this particular hill.

0

Plane-Tie6392 Apr 1, 2026 +1

That’s why I asked.

1

da9ve Apr 1, 2026 +2

Hoped I wasn't the only one remembering Reginald Perrin!

2

Winged_Pegasus Apr 1, 2026 +4

There's one or two jokes an episode that land HARD. The fake Beatles song was hilarious, I've watched that scene multiple times. But all the stuff not focused on Tracy, Bobby, or Radcliffe fall flat for me

4

Demerzel69 Apr 1, 2026 +11

Bobby is fuckin hilarious on this show. I'm glad to see him again.

11

Winged_Pegasus Apr 1, 2026 +6

I love Bobby in anything. Even if he's watching Dave Chang prepare Christmas dinner I'll watch

6

Plane-Tie6392 Apr 1, 2026 +1

But f*** David Chang though.

1

shocksmybrain Apr 1, 2026 +9

I like it but it's closer to the level of Mr. Mayor than it is 30 Rock, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, or Girls5Eva.

9

lurebat Apr 1, 2026 +7

Mr mayor? Wow that's harsh

7

Winged_Pegasus Apr 1, 2026

I liked that show more than Kimmy or Girls5Eva

0

TheCooze Apr 1, 2026 +2

Thank you. Crazy how many are putting it on the same level as 30 Rock. Not even close.

2

Plane-Tie6392 Apr 1, 2026 +1

It’s not but it’s better than Girls5Eva imho.

1

TheCooze Apr 1, 2026 +2

Hard disagree. Girls5eva was not as good as 30 Rock either but I’d put it a couple levels higher than Reggie Dinkins. Maybe Carlocks jokes are just getting stale for me tho.

2

Hank_Scorpio_ObGyn Apr 1, 2026 +11

I tried watching the pilot episode but I just can't take Tracy Morgan in big doses like that. I laughed at the Daniel Radcliffe parts but man....I gotta try to give it another go as everything I hear is fantastic.

11

lurebat Apr 1, 2026 +24

I will say that the pilot is the weakest episode so far

24

Infamous-Lab-8136 Apr 1, 2026 +6

I think it suffered from being released so early and waiting weeks for episode 2 behind it. When episode 2 finally hit I was so much more impressed

6

Anneisabitch Apr 1, 2026 +2

I thought episode 2 was also dull. Maybe I’ll wait for the whole thing to get released and try again. I kinda assumed them dropping the pilot, waiting a few months and then randomly airing episode 2 = bad tv they’re hoping to dump

2

Nujers Apr 1, 2026 +1

They wanted to get as many eyes on the pilot as possible so they thought it'd be a brilliant idea to air it directly after a nationally televised NFL game late in the season. Why they didn't decide to air the rest of the episodes starting the following week? Who fuckin knows.

1

Nujers Apr 1, 2026 +1

Every episode seems to get stronger and stronger. Gives me season 1 Parks and Rec vibes, season 2 it'll find its footing and smash it out of the park.

1

Minister_Garbitsch Apr 1, 2026 +1

Yeah, I found it so incredibly forced and painfully unfunny I bailed about 5 minutes in.

1

donttrustthellamas Apr 1, 2026 +2

Does anyone know if it's coming to the UK? I've not been able to find it on streaming, so far

2

dljones010 Apr 1, 2026 +2

It's a good show with a good premise. Personally, I love Bobby Moynehan. Good stuff.

2

chinesehoy Apr 1, 2026 +2

I’m loving it!

2

The_Schnitz Apr 1, 2026 +2

Been meaning to give this a watch, loved Tracy in 30 Rock. Apparently Michael Kosta and Ronny Chieng also make appearances, which I’m sure are a lot of fun.

2

TheCooze Apr 1, 2026

30 Rock remains the only good Tracy Morgan role for me. This is just tolerable.

0

djackieunchaned Apr 1, 2026 +2

It’s the show i look forward to most each week

2

pikachus_ghost_uncle Apr 1, 2026 +2

It has the same beat and pacing as 30 rock, Mr mayor, and so on but it's missing that transition music. Without it the show feels quiet at times. Other than that really like the show.

2

PatSajaksDick Apr 1, 2026 +2

You should watch Girls 5Eva too

2

Blacketh Apr 1, 2026 +4

It does get better. I still don’t really like Tracey Morgan(I’ve never found him funny) but overall the show gets me to giggle just enough to keep watching.

4

shocksmybrain Apr 1, 2026 +6

You have to suspend reality to believe Tracy Morgan as a pro athlete.

6

Cheaperthantherapy13 Apr 1, 2026 +34

It makes the conceit that they’re legally barred from showing NFL clips even funnier tbh.

34

Infamous-Lab-8136 Apr 1, 2026 +16

Because 30 Rock with an immortal Kenneth required 0 suspension of disbelief It's a Tina Fey comedy. We'll probably end up with Titus Burgess guest staring as his old QB if it goes on long enough

16

steeb2er Apr 1, 2026 +4

Titus' boyfriend (Mikey) from Kimmy Schmidt has been in a couple of episodes as a disgruntled Jets fan.

4

whythehellknot Apr 1, 2026 +3

He was a random construction worker in 30 Rock as well.

3

crabtabulous Apr 1, 2026 +1

Eh I hear you but I think suspension of disbelief can be kind of a sliding scale depending on how much it matters to the overarching plot or story, even in a comedy. The jokes about Kenneth's age were almost always throwaway lines at the end of a scene, they weren't central to the premise of the show. Obviously it doesn't matter much in the end if the show is funny and entertaining enough to overcome it, I agree on that. But still, if you cast an old, obese guy like Tracy Morgan as an ex-NFL player and make that the premise, it's fair play for people to at least raise their eyebrows a bit lol. 30 Rock is honestly another perfect example interestingly enough. Tina Fey tried really hard to get Rachel Dratch cast as the Jenna Maroney character originally, and the network stepped in and said no and forced her to cast someone they considered more "conventionally attractive" as a narcissistic small-time actress (which is how they ended up with Jane Krakowski). A lot of the sexualized stuff that they had the Jenna character do throughout the show might not have worked the same with Rachel Dratch, believability-wise.

1

steeb2er Apr 1, 2026 +1

Your overall point is valid, but I disagree with applying it here. Have you seen post-career NFL guys? Sure, some are in great shape, but others have certainly seen better days. It's not hard to imagine Reggie would've "let himself go" after getting kicked out of the league. Depression, boredom, lack of discipline, no need to work out, could all add up to Tracy's current body. I mean, go watch the first season of 30 Rock - Tracy's not the pinnacle of fitness but he's certainly 60 lbs lighter than he is currently. Time does things to the body.

1

Nobody_Important Apr 1, 2026 +4

Honestly it seems fine to me, it’s been 15-20 years and mentally these guys are rarely geniuses to begin with and then also get cte.

4

Tre3180 Apr 1, 2026 +1

That was my one issue haha

1

Infamous-Lab-8136 Apr 1, 2026 +7

Really? Cause the guy living with him is a backup kicker (something no team has, they sign a new one when their kicker gets hurt if needed) and he's built like no kicker ever in NFL history Daniel Radcliffe plays a documentatian who was hired to direct a Marvel movie that featured tennis balls as both place holders and actual tennis balls in the climactic fight The entire show is ludicrous

7

__TeddyWestside__ Apr 1, 2026 +5

Backup kicker is still kdumb but clearly you've never seen the Thiccer Kicker if you believe he's not built like any other NFL Kicker. Also it would make sense if he has kinda let himself go after playing in the NFL.

5

da9ve Apr 1, 2026 +4

That tennis ball bit had me howling - after the start of his meltdown flashback maybe not quite selling me on the bit, that brought it back around and then some.

4

Tre3180 Apr 1, 2026 +2

Yeah I don't really concern myself with the roster decisions of sports teams, but I remember watching the pilot and really trying to wrap my head around how someone with Tracy Morgan's build would have performed. I think there were flashbacks too that didn't help.

2

Nujers Apr 1, 2026 +1

>built like no kicker ever You might take a look at Harrison "The Thiccer Kicker" Mevis who recently got signed by the rams

paizuribart Apr 1, 2026 +2

He did a show called rise and fall of Reggie too. Edit: the show I’m on about was called Reggie Perrin which was a remake of an older show called the rise and fall of Reginald Perrin.

bourj Apr 1, 2026 +1

It definitely gets better after the first couple episodes, but Tracy standing and walking like he was in a serious car accident (which of course he was) still strikes me as odd every time.

1

MySmellyRacoon Apr 1, 2026 +1

It’s getting 13 million viewers; it’s not getting cancelled.

CremeOfSumYumGai Apr 1, 2026 +1

Its not bad but I like The Last OG 10000000000x more. Its got so much heart and is sincerely funnier IMO.

1

MeatTornado25 Apr 1, 2026 +1

It's way better than I expected it to be. Pretty much any time you read promo like "From the people who brought you [show]" it's never even close to the original because it's a different writers room and just an EP attached in name only. But the style of Reggie Dinkins really does feel like it has a lot of that 30 Rock DNA in it.

1

BrunsonsBurner11 Apr 1, 2026 +1

It actually makes me laugh a lot

1

sxales Apr 1, 2026 +1

Is it related to *The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin*?

1

mustymuskrat Apr 1, 2026 +1

Damn, I looked this up and saw the mid 6 reviews on imdb and rotten tomatoes and expected it to be a klunker. Gave it a shot cuz im in desparate need for a new comedy. Currently watching the first episode and did not expect to laugh out loud like this. makes me think i should go back and actually try 30 rock

1

hogliver Apr 1, 2026 +1

We’re loving this show, I feel like it has a 30 Rock meets Arrested Development vibe. We definitely plan to go back and rewatch, there have been numerous scenes where I know that I’ve missed a joke because I was still busy laughing at an earlier one.

1

slackmandu Apr 1, 2026 +1
