What?
The escapades of a mismatched gang of mature students at a community college.
Why?
A formidable blend of character comics (including ‘Mad Men’s Alison Brie, ‘Girls’s Donald Glover and Chevy Chase’s Chevy Chase), pitch-perfect pop culture references, high-concept risk-taking (one episode consists entirely of stop-motion animation) and the warm, fuzzy feeling evoked by classic US sitcoms from ‘M*A*S*H’ through to ‘The Simpsons’.
Where and when?
Seasons one and two on DVD; season three begins Mar 22, 11pm, Sony Entertainment TV.
