Weaker than the rest of the stores...speed watch it and then binge the rest

The pilot has some funny moments, but the cast hasn't clicked in to their roles or chemistry yet, and the writers haven't started writing to each actor's strengths. The jokes are there, but the delivery is labored, and the only music in the episode is sample of the theme song, which is weak. Enjoy a cameo from Tina's eldest daughter as a mini influencer, along with cameos from the Tina Fay universe.

Definitely watch it to get the foundation of the rest of the first season, and know that it gets much better from here on out. Jokes are tighter, the cast starts to gel, and the songs are funny and good!
