Review of The Grinder

The Grinder (2015–2016)
8/10
It's just Season 1, and I don't want to go too crazy, but...

...this is a really good, really funny show. I'm showing my age here, but it reminds me of the classic screwball comedies of the 30's and 40's with the rapid-fire dialogue. The performances are solid all around, particularly the supporting roles, with Steve Little as the groupie attorney, Natalie Morales as the "hot" associate, and Mary Elizabeth Ellis playing Fred Savage's wife. Fred Savage is also very good. He was annoying at first, but I guess I got used to his character, and think he's funny.

After watching Season 1 of shows like Black-ish on ABC and The Knick on Cinemax, and then watching a big drop in quality on each of these shows during Season 2, I'm hesitant to go too crazy about how good this show is. But if Season 2 is able to match Season 1, then we're talking about a really good show here.
