I love how Simone's actress can't cover up that she's clearly from London. Should've just let her use her real accent to be honest. Do like that they've brought in a new character in the 3rd season and she's instantly great, though.

I’m trying to think of other (particularly, network) comedies where the premise of the show gets constantly rewritten between seasons. Using Chapters makes so much sense for this show, as it really is a story rather than ‘these bunch of friends do wacky things for 22m then everything resets for next week’.

Ben and Trevor both probably share the same love of calzones.

The Parks and Rec model should be applied to pretty much every new sitcom, rather than immediately going to order a half/full season. Do 6 episodes late in the season, see what gels with the audience, think of differences that can be made to the characters and then spend time to make it better before producing the next batch. The first episode of S2 of Parks and Rec is such a massive upswing compared to S1, and The Office felt the same too (altho only 1x01 of that was truly bad and it did get a bit better throughout the first season, but again 2x01 was really solid).

They do indeed digitally merge shots of actors from different takes in over the shoulder and even side by side shots, according to their digital effects guy.

A technique invented by Michael Caine, nonetheless.
