Synopsis

TV Series (2015). 2 Seasons. 20 Episodes. British newscaster Walter Blunt comes to Los Angeles, intent on conquering the world of American cable TV. Through the platform of a nightly interview show, Blunt is on a mission to impart his wisdom and guidance on how Americans should live, think and behave. Unfortunately, Blunt is constantly harassed by interfering network bosses, a dysfunctional news staff, and his numerous ex-wives and children. Blunt must now deal with the fallout from his well-intended but misguided actions, both on and off the air, with only an alcoholic manservant at his side.

Critics' reviews

"Perversely unpleasant workplace comedy."

Matt Roush: TV Guide
"Starz’s oddball farce starts bad, quickly gets good (...) The sense that these clownish people are constantly trying and failing to suppress something all-too-human about themselves--that distinguishes it from the cringe-comedy crop."

Keith Uhlich: The Hollywood Reporter
