Sophomoric ‘humor’ mars what could be an insightful—or at least entertaining—look into the auto industry.
. Yet the dialogue consists largely of crude bathroom humor and even racially insensitive “jokes.”
The most objectionable lines come from the character of company scion Wesley Payne , who is given over almost entirely to sophomoric, schoolboy humor, except when he’s handed racist lines to spout. His character is supposed to be the grandson of the company’s openly racist founder, in what may be a reference to Henry Ford, which might explain, in the writers’ minds, why he is this way. But he’s not even funny.
There’s a promising love story between Payne Motors’ PR maven Sadie Ryan and upwardly mobile young executive Jack Fortin , and that plot line continues to be teased at the start of season two. But these two likable characters are boxed in by total morons. Are they trying for a Jim Halpert/Pam Beesly romance?
Design engineer Cyrus Knight does a good job with his character and isn’t given awful dialogue, so he helps make the 22 minutes bearable. But Payne CEO Katherine Hastings is wallowing about in her own confusing motivations.Taken altogether you are left yelling at the TV screen, “Please don’t be this awful!” It’s a missed opportunity to have an interesting or even entertaining comedy set in the auto industry we all know and love.
