I'm really enjoying Working the Engels. It's really funny and cleverly written, but without being slick and fake like some sitcoms.
The casting is perfect. Andrea Martin is a dynamo; brilliant timing and just the right blend of insanity and understatement. Azura plays flaky in a way that makes her scenes funny yet unexpectedly touching at times. Benjamin plays dumb so letter perfect I would expect him to be the same in person. He has a vulnerability that makes him very endearing, even when he's being a total screwup. And Kacey is the perfect hub; the one sane character, surrounded by craziness. It's reminiscent of Arrested Development with touches of The Munsters, yet also fresh and original.
Some great supporting actors and guests, too. Loved Eugene Levy.
I'm looking forward to the rest of the season.
Just for the record, I do not work for the show or any of its sponsors. Just really a fan!
