To begin with, I never liked Jennifer Aniston as an actor or celeb. I'm meh with Steve Carell's self-conscious comedic style. I'm just lukewarm okay with Witherspoon.
But the writing and directing soon melted my wall of skepticism. This is probably the best role ever written for Witherspoon. Then even Carell started to gel with this character. Then EVEN Aniston showed acting chop and courage!
The casting is on point. Memorable performance by Mark Duplass, Billy Crudup and Karen Pittman.
The tone is stern but not preachy, humorous but not glib, an amazing achievement in itself given the super challenging backdrop and sexual harassment subject matter. Those who like the Good Wife/ Good Fight will really like this.
Looking forward the next season.
