This may just be the funniest, wittiest sitcom ever made. The premise is that this guy faked his diploma to be a lawyer and was caught, and must now enroll in a community college to get his degree.
Yes, there are instant plot holes; how was he not sued for legal malpractice? How can he ever pass the ethics committee even if he does get his degree? How can he even get a law degree from a community college? The thing is, if you get bogged down in realism, this sitcom just won’t fly.
But it’s not meant to. Community is outlandishly funny because it doesn’t take itself too seriously, and they mock themselves along with every other sitcom, TV show, and a movie out there.
The characters are everything on this show. Every character seems to have been crafted to give the highest potential for comedic relief possible. The actors bring a cohesion to the eclectic group and provide a very lovable ensemble.
If diversity is what you're looking for this show has it -with old and young, black and white, smart, and dumb characters littering the show. But it doesn’t throw the diversity in your face the way a lot of shows tend to do these days. It’s diverse because it depicts reality – it doesn’t feel manufactured.
I’m trying too hard to describe the show without giving anything away, but Jesus Christ are some of the ideas both so far out there and funny! The two-episode season finale was the perfect culmination of the build up to the insane humor the show teases from the get-go.
The way the show leans into the believably crazy allows them to create content/stories of every genre, creating plenty of cute moments, making you laugh every step of the way.
The show may seem dumb or catering to low brow humor, but make no mistake about it; the humor is incredibly clever and very well crafted. 10/10
