The master of the everyman gifts us some hard-won parenting insights in this blissfully awkward show about a father and daughter relationship

Humankind, as TS Eliot’s bird said in Burnt Norton, cannot bear too much reality. That feels especially salient now, when we have more reality arriving in a day than we used to have to process in a year.

At the same time, unless you go the whole high-fantasy hog and offer 100% escapism via immersion in a completely alternative world, it is becoming trickier for your audiences to believe in you at all.

Americans love a college campus as a TV backdrop, offering as it does various tropes: fish-out-of-water; workplace comedy; the politics around tenure; and the biggie, the professor-student relationship.

This new comedy from Ted Lasso’s Bill Lawrence and his Scrubs co-creator Matt Tarses has a bit of all of these tropes. The 10-part series stars Steve Carell as the fish out of water in what becomes a workplace comedy.

Carell is bestselling author Greg Russo, whose pulpy action novels feature a character called Rooster, who sports an open shirt and a six-pack on the book covers, and a passing resemblance to Russo himself. (Lawrence and Tarses based the character on high-concept Florida author Carl Hiaasen, inspired after they adapted Hiaasen’s Bad Monkey for the 2024 TV series).
