The original pilot focused on people working at an insurance company dealing with the fallout of superhero/supervillain clashes.  After an internal shakeup, the show has changed to be focused on a division of Wayne Enterprises that develops essentially "As Seen On TV"-style gadgets designed to protect civilians DURING these clashes.

 

Meanwhile, Alan Tudyk's (Firefly, Suburbia, Rogue One) has been revamped since the original pilot to be Bruce Wayne's cousin.

 

The show also stars Vanessa Hudgens (High School Musical, High School Musical 2, High School Musical 3, and the probably inevitable High School Reunion Musical), Ron Funches, and Danny Pudi (Community).

 

The zany action starts Thursday, February 2, at 8:30 on NBC.

 

Unlike Constantine, I'm betting that there is no way to fold this into the Arrow-verse (or even Gotham), but maybe there's room for multiverse crossover cameos at some point.

Sounds terrible

I didn't even recognize that as Vanessa Hudgens.

I want it to be good, but so far, the previews have not made me laugh.

[Aberration]

For some reason, I thought this show already aired and got cancelled.  Alan Tudyk and Danny Pudi deserve better.

I love so many of the people involved in this that I am going to be a little sad when it flops. I remember the thread here describing this show's premise a while back and I admit I'm surprised it's made it this far. But it's really no more ridiculous than the other network television superhero shows that they just keep making. Someone must be watching. Not me, but someone!

I mean, if you gave me the choice between this and Maury Povich, I would definitely choose this.

I'm still waiting for Damage Control, dang nabbit!

The original concept of an insurance agency in the DC universe could have been interesting if handled well. Of course, that's assuming some effort was put into it and it could be argued that there likely wouldn't have been any. The new concept doesn't seem like it'll work in an established universe.

What's sad is that this show is taking the time slot of "The Good Place", a forking amazing show that's already had its season finale.

I love that smell of absolute desperation. It's like walking by a donut shop right when they open; unmistakable.

[D Buster Prime]

It's not desperation when it's a Krispy Kreme. Have you ever had one fresh off the line?

I've never done drugs, but I imagine that it has to be the closest one can legally get to crack.

Hot Now for life.

When I die, heaven is going to smell like freshly baked Krispy Kreme for eternity.

Saw the first episode.  Such a great cast wasted on bland, generic humor.  Hopefully, it gets better from here, but I have my reservations.

[Mouse_Pad]

It was okay.  I laughed a couple of times but it felt pretty forced.  I'll watch a few more episodes to see if it gets better.

[Devcon]

Yeah same. I liked some of the gags but... nothing too impressive.

I'll give it a couple more weeks before I do my final verdict.

[LiamA]

I didn't even recognize that as Vanessa Hudgens.

 

I almost didn't recognize her in clothes.

[skankerzero]

It fell mostly flat on me. This is common for pilot type episodes though.

 

Hopefully it gets better.
