The show takes place in Charm City, a metropolis plagued by so many superheroes they practically have to call traffic control to schedule their fly-overs. The superheroes--and the villains they battle--do collateral damage to the city and its citizens, as we know from previous shows about superheroes, especially Superman.
This comedy revolves around the boss (Alan Tudyk) and employees of a security company that protects its clients from said collateral damage. Emily Locke (Vanessa Hudgens) who is new to the city and the company, wants to fit in.
The first episode sets up the premise, but is otherwise a waste. In the next two episodes, Tudyk and Hudgens manage to keep things interesting. Michael D. Cohen, as Human Resources Manager Samuel Greene, gets some meaty lines that poke fun at H.R. (He bullies employees with threats that they will have to sit through a 6-hour anti-bullying video!)
The basic theme of the show is that Emily has to bail out her inept boss, who is clueless when it comes to any aspects of business. The superhero concept allows the show to be more whimsical than the usual office comedy.
This is an uneven comedy at best, but it has its lol moments.
score 7/10
