I’m thrilled to say that The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins – a new NBC sitcom starring Tracy Morgan and co-created by Robert Carlock (who worked with Tina Fey on 30 Rock) – feels like a worthy successor. While 30 Rock was a spin-off of Saturday Night Live, this show cleverly draws inspiration from the world of the NFL. Surprisingly, it also borrows a lot of what made The Office so funny.

Polly Findlay directs with a subtle confidence, making it a solid and satisfying film.
