I found it hilarious from start to finish. The whole cast fearlessly jumps into some pretty raunchy material, and as a result the laughs rarely flag. Yet Segal's script somehow keeps it all real with the underlying heart that is characteristic of the best material from the Apatow crew.

Biggest surprise of the show to me was Mila Kunis. She was cute as the self-centered Jackie on "That 70s Show", but I always thought she was a bit stiff (to be fair, she started the show at age 14). Here, she is completely natural & believeable as the sweet, fun-loving Rachel who finally brings Segal's Peter back to the world of the living (yes, my tongue was firmly in cheek writing that last sentence). Plus, she's absolutely drop-dead gorgeous. Hope this leads to more prominent roles for her.

9 out of 10 for me. Bring on The Pineapple Express!
