The cast is charming enough, tackling their roles with an understated kind of ease rather than the exaggeration present in so many other sitcoms... But the characterizations aren't enough to make up for the fact that The Crew just isn't that funny.
It is early days for The Crew, and a lot of now-classic comedies took at least a season to bed in, but this seems to lack the secret ingredient that might make you root for Kevin and the team. It is all a bit 10th place.
The jokes get better and the cast chemistry stronger as the series goes on. By the fifth episode, James and crew have it running like, well, a well-oiled machine.
