Has this place really gotten so spoiler sensitive that even episode summaries have to be hidden?
Not sure about this one. The weird thing about HBO comedies is that they're either on one end of the spectrum or the other. Awesome or horribly unwatchable. At least that leaves out mediocrity.

I've been a fan of Bryan Greenberg for awhile as well and I've been following the development of this show for awhile with curiosity. The reviews are borderline rave so I'm kinda excited.

I can tell that this is the kind of show that will need a few episodes to fully flesh out its characters. It probably should be an hour long, but I guess they want to portray the show as a "comedy," though it's more entertaining that laugh-out-loud funny (not to there aren't plenty of comedic moments).

I'm with Brack, it'll take a few eps to flesh out the characters, but i like it so far.

I quite enjoyed it. I think the premise is relatively interesting and the characters are entertaining enough. I agree that it seems like the kind of show that will take a few episodes to really get going.

I've been recording the shows and finally watched the pilot. Will give it two more episodes to get better. Laughed out loud only once during the show.

It's not really comedy like that. I don't know how I would explain it. It's sort of like an hour drama masquerading as a half hour comedy. If you're looking for laughs you probably won't find many.
