'You just don't understand though; you thought it was (x), when it's actually (y)! You're just not smart enough to get it!'
..is the gist of many of the arguments I've seen in favour of this show, lol - no /s in sight.
It'll be forgotten in a month or two, as it should be.

I see so many shows mentioned here that aren’t sitcoms?

Seems like it was really hard to get the cast back together and figure out everyone's filming schedule so I wouldn't bet on it. Everyone in the show has other things going on, Adam Scott in particular just took off with Severance too. They couldn't get Lizzy back (although the cast availability was always in issue with this show). But also I'm sure it's not too complicated to shoot since most episodes are a single location and I'm sure they'd like to try. Hopefully we get a handful of episodes every couple of years or something, maybe with some cast rotating in/out.

How is it being classified as a comedy? Its not even a dark comedy.

The mad part is that the first three episodes are arguably the better ones; if they'd watched just one or two more, it's very unlikely that the review would have been as positive.

Awards aren’t a direct and pure metric for the best. Oftentimes it’s about which show had the best network/studio/publicity push. There’s a huge amount of content right now, and the winners of these big industry awards are as much a reflection of the industry itself than their merits.

It was in the episode with Bill. They came across a MK 2 arcade machine and Ellie told Joel about her fatality. It was interesting to see the origin of that in this most recent episode.

great comment, thank you! You've made me want to watch Mythic Quest now -- I had been on the fence but this comment pushed me over.

Batman: The Animated Series? - Done entirely with hand puppets
Fear the Walking Dead? - Features B-list stand-up comedians guest starring as a zombies
Happy Days? - Every week is "a very special episode"
Survivor? - May the odds be ever in your favor.
Doctor Who? - Reality show about insurance fraud

Ha yeah I am a lawyer and I kept yelling at the tv “WHERE ARE THE LAWYERS!” Like everyone just listens to this guy and just accepts that he is in charge? What do the governing documents say?

Yeah I watched the first two episodes and I couldn’t get past the fact that the plot seemed to happen in a very unlikely/borderline impossible way in order to set up Waltz coming in.
I specialize in corporate governance law and that’s not how a succession would play out, for a lot of reasons. With some tweaks, they could have written a better legal explanation that lands in the same place.
The two employee characters talk about the question of whether he has authority but then seem to get distracted. They don’t think to ask the company’s lawyers? If there is no in-house counsel there would be outside corporate counsel at least. Or they could go look at the governing documents themselves. But instead they are just like “how mysterious! He says he has a contract? Better let him in the boss’s old office and give him access to everything!”

This comment had more dramatic effect and comedic timing than in all 8 episodes of the show

Arrow ran so far off a cliff at one point that the show's own subreddit gave up on it and became a Daredevil sub instead.

Seriously and they called it "one of the most successful mobile games company in Los Angeles" but no HR, lawyers, employment rights, and contract law?
In AppleTV Mythic Quest, a comedy show about another successful LA mobile games company:
-
Antics? HR always involved in like every episode
-
Business stuff? Montreal/Ubisoft is calling every 2 minutes to yell.
-
Staff? Composed of CEO, VP, and a shit ton of directors, managers, and executives. Even when they're arguing with each other, projects have negotiations and hierarchy
-
Discrimination? Half the staff has a boner for labor laws, discrimination laws, contract and employment rights
Meanwhile in the consultant, just the first episode:
-
Employee executive with his own office cries his eyes out after being informed he smells and is given a mop bucket to spongebathe himself in his office himself... a mop bucket previously used to clean up human fluids in the previous scene. An employee of no importance or anything to the show. In Cali/USA, this dude would be winning super lawsuits
-
Wheelchair black woman gets fired for being literally 1 second late after given 1 hour to arrive to work by the CEO or be fired. Disabled employees have protections against these types of abuse. Super lawsuit
-
New CEO just takes over the company. No HR, no board of directors, no managers, shareholders. Nothing. Oh amd why the old ceo's mom can't take over? Reason: speaks no english. That's it. No hiring of a proxy or translator, no translating app, not even a single Korean in the company to help translate? Weakest excuse ever
-
New 2 minute CEO just cancels all company projects without any plan, research, head company, or shareholders caring. It's a successful mobile game company, half of gamers would be incensed
-
How is main girl, the secretary, the highest ranked person to operate the company

It's crazy how the Simpsons has just had legs for decades. With everything that is coming out on Disney+, the Simpsons is still their most watch show by far!

Bottom and Red Dwarf would be my replacements.
For the US, it be Seinfeld, Frasier, Cheers, The Office.
