Harriet Dyer (<em>Colin From Accounts<\/em>) plays our lead Colette, a driving examiner with a big heart, but bad boundaries. She\u2019s joined by Gregg (Tim Meadows), a misanthropic former English teacher, and Vic (Tony Cavalero), a former bouncer who loves putting difficult drivers in their places. The office is run by their boss, Barbara (Molly Kearney), who has been newly promoted, but sometimes struggles to rise to the occasion.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong>More from TVLine<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In the pilot episode, a looming government shutdown threatens to close the East Hollywood branch\u2019s office for good. With consultants touching down to see where costs can be cut, Barb learns that one of Hollywood\u2019s four existing DMVs is going to be fully automated, and if their branch is selected, impact will be felt!

According to Vic, Colette\u2019s been \u201ceye-banging\u201d him for a while now. She tries to deny it, as she hungrily scrolls, lapping up all the shirtless pics posted on the guy\u2019s Instagram page. But competition from \u201cHot Kristen\u201d (as Vic calls her) and a near-death experience with an old lady behind the wheel ultimately gets under Colette\u2019s skin, causing her to make her move. After accidentally showing Noa a photo of her foot (weird), she makes some cringey, too-personal comments about his family that she gleaned online. She also fails to notice the menstrual pad stuck to her skirt. Whoops!<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">After nearly dying again \u2014 of embarrassment, this time! \u2014 Colette decides to sneak out of the office via the bathroom window, but of course, she gets stuck in the process. She takes off her sweater to try to free herself, only to be found by \u201cRegular Kristen.\u201d Regular Kristen goes to get help, but instead of only getting a security guard, she gets\u2026 <em>the entire office<\/em>, including the consultants!<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">By the pilot\u2019s end, Noa helps free Colette from the window, while the rest of the office finds out that Barb had been sugar-coating the truth: The consultants are there to potentially shut them down. If that wasn\u2019t bad enough, the consultants say they\u2019re in town for the <em>entire year<\/em> \u2014 talk about stressful! On their way out to the bar, Colette asks her co-workers not to embarrass her in front of Noa\u2026 only she doesn\u2019t realize she has yet <em>another<\/em> pad stuck to her skirt.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong>So, are you giving <em>DMV <\/em>a green light?
