Its not necessarily a groundbreaking show its comedy is steeped in the hyperspeed tradition previously established by shows like Arrested Development and (duh) 30 Rock, says Jen Chaney. Its also not a mindforker like The Good Place or a reboot like Will & Grace and 80 percent of the shows currently being developed for television, nor is it a limited series stacked with Oscar-winning actresses or affiliated in any way with Ryan Murphy. But Great News is a consistently funny, occasionally topical, terrific comedy that had a sense of its own identity from the first second of its pilot and has never wavered from it.
