Review of Go On

Go On (2012–2013)
5/10
Not great
21 November 2012
After watching a few episodes of Go On, I'm disappointed. It's predictable, jokes are too easy, and it's a waste of Matthew Perry's talent.

The characters are clichés: the lonely woman who loves cats, the weirdo who says the strangest things out of the blue, or the one who's too cool for the whole thing but somehow find his emotional side (and everyone says 'awww'). There's no original spin on the characters and I feel like I've heard the story many many times before.

It's not the worst sitcom, there are few funny moments here and there, but too few, too far apart, and they were overtaken by the times when I felt like saying "Oh, come on!" rather than smile.

Last, one thing I found particularly annoying is it's resemblance to NBC's Community. Not because I don't like the latter, I love the show, but Go On one is just a toned down version of Community, stripped of its best parts, in my opinion.
