Joel McHale and Stephen Fry star in this 2016 US sitcom about an adventure reporter who must adapt to the times when he becomes the boss of a group of millennials at an online magazine. Continues weeknights. Look out for New Zealand’s Kimberley Crossman in episode two. ‘‘McHale, as he proved on Community, has great timing, and he’s aided by his office colleagues, especially the delightfully deadpan Fry, who combines sweet and weird.
