Happily, they are not your average sitcom weirdo crazy group-therapy people. These folks are oddballs, yes, but they are oddballs trying to overcome great tragedy.
This TV show to me is incredible. It's so funny. But unlike a lot of TV shows, it has depth too. Great cast and amazing characters. I really hope this show doesn't get canceled. It deserves to go on for at least a few seasons.
it is a really wonderful show, which combines the difficulty some people face in the society over the loss of someone and the connection we all have when we are confined in a room and share our feelings. i just wish they increase more stars. i heard courtney cox would be a guest and i think its awesome
Go On moves quite breezily--much like an NBC-flavored take on premium cable dramadies such as "The Big C" and "Enlightened." It's not as good as either of those, but it has the same happy-sad aura, with just a dash of "Community"-like absurdity to keep the speed limit up.
Honestly a great show i've been waiting for IN YEARS, i'm tired of those ugerly fake, not funny at all, boring sitcoms like "Two Broke Girls" or "Suburgatory" , seriously, how can people give negative reviews !
Of all the stuff that Mr. Perry has done since Friends this is probably the most promising. Unfortunately, that's not saying much. While Perry's sarcastic wit is allowed to shine in this series the supporting cast adds almost nothing.
I would expect "Go On" to have a good start, since Matthew Perry, like the rest of his "Friends" castmates, brings his own fanbase to the...table.
I found it slightly above average and a bit uneven. It's got some promising stuff and characters in there, but they'll have to work on it to make it a good show.
I still find it problematic to use group psychotherapy as material for sitcom jokes. Making the participants **** sessions do silly stuff may not at all be helpful for them opening up.
But still, the sessions are not as terrible as in "Anger Management".
So I'd say give the show a try, even If you're not a Matthew Perry fan.
The first episode shows the intent of this comedy: to mix 3rd rate drama with 3rd rate comedy. Ugh. Matthew Perry is saddled with this crap, when what he needs is good writing. Solution? Disband the Hollywood Writers' Guild, home of mediocrity.
I tune my tv on warner ch just to wait for another late sitcom, and "Go On" is played, Oh Lord, it's a painful to see it....that guy (Mathew Perry) does nobody tell him that his career ends when "Friends" get out of air?
