There\u2019s a new workplace comedy in town. <\/p>\n
As the title suggests, the CBS sitcom \u201cDMV\u201d is set at a branch of the infamously dull government agency. The employees range from the bewilderingly passionate manager Barbara (Molly Kearney) to the chaotic driving examiner Vic (Tony Cavalero), who tells an aspiring licensed driver to stop at a fast food drive-through to get him food. <\/p>\n
The ensemble cast\u2019s closest thing to a lead is Colette (Harriet Dyer), whose awkward attempts at flirting with new guy Noa (Alex Tarrant) are more tragic than they are funny. Tim Meadows shines as Gregg, a driving examiner who used to be a high school teacher, and Gigi Zumbado (Ceci) delivers some of the pilot\u2019s funniest lines.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m a photographer. And a laminator,\u201d Ceci confidently says. In other words, she snaps driver\u2019s license photos.<\/p>\n
\u201cDMV\u201d has a strong cast, but the characters feel more like archetypes than real people in the pilot. There are plenty of beloved workplace sitcoms that took a while to truly find their footing, \u201cThe Office\u201d and \u201cParks and Recreation\u201d among them, but both of those shows had vibrant, original characters from the outset. \u201cDMV\u201d feels like it\u2019s relying too heavily on its quirky setting without offering any unique perspective. <\/p>\n

The Walmart-esque setting proved to be fruitful ground for social commentary, and the \u201cSuperstore\u201d characters got more complex as the six-season show went on. <\/p>\n Perhaps, with time, the same will be said of the \u201cDMV\u201d crew. But like the titular agency, you might have to wait around a while for \u201cDMV\u201d to give you what you need. <\/p>\n \u201cDMV\u201d was created by \u201cFriends\u201d producer Dana Klein. It\u2019s based on Katherine Heiny\u2019s short story \u201cChicken-Flavored and Lemon-Scented.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cDMV\u201d airs on CBS on Mondays at 8:30 p.m. ET. Episodes are <\/b><\/i>available to stream on Paramount+<\/b><\/i><\/a> the day after they air. <\/b><\/i><\/p>\n If you purchase a product or register for an account through a link on our site, we may receive compensation.
