Our reading
Michael Schur, the man who made a show about a group of people trying to be good, now has a show where women dig up secrets that could change history. It’s the same formula, just with more shovels and fewer moral dilemmas.
The show’s tagline mentions life challenges, but the real challenge here is figuring out how a comedy writer will handle a plot involving international conspiracies without making it feel like a parody of itself.
It’s not the first time Schur has made a show about people trying to be better, but this time, they’ll have to dig deeper—literally.
