If Jason Ritter isn't the most likable guy on TV, then who is? He's flat-out adorable in Kevin Probably Saves The World. Great at the comedy. Real and vulnerable. And deft enough to sell what isn't a particularly convincing premise for a show and episodic situations that aren't all that gripping. In short, despite some amusing comic schtick and some good writing along the way, this show never quite flies. And it doesn't help that the touched-by-an-angel like premise is not a million miles from Joan of Arcadia, in which Ritter co-starred some years ago. But Ritter was clearly a star-in-the-making then, and he's a star here too. Now if only somebody would come up with a vehicle worthy of him.
