You know that feeling when you're tired and someone says something stupid so you reply with an equally stupid joke? Those are the jokes made on this show.
'Not funny' wouldn't even cover half of the supposed jokes on this show. It doesn't help that I find neither stars to be funny or charming but none of the characters are interesting enough to want to spend time with.
There are the standard roles of assistant, boss and best friend and all of them are written in the cliche way but without any potential of being funny. Anyone can reproduce but the trick is to make them lovable and entertaining.
Free Agents doesn't even try. Everyone just rambles without any substance and none of it is even slightly comedic. I'm not sure what the show's title references to but it might be to the agents the network approached to find comedy writers.
Not to say that Free Agents was the worst thing to come across my eyes. It's just really bad. Both leads are extremely pathetic and annoying. It's tough to not like a main character that's pining over her dead husband but this show makes it particularly easy. Not to mention that crying men are not comfortable to watch for anyone.
No, consider this show one of the worst contributions to the new fall season. But with my track record that probably means it'll be a huge hit. Either way, I'll go out of my way to never see this show again.
