Pilot

Matthew Perry returned to television for a third attempt (we won't count to Showtime pilot 'The End of Steve' that didn't make it to air) at being on a long-running show again after 'Friends'.

And 'Go On' for me was his best attempt in the genre of comedy. This show allowed him to be both funny, but also play some dramatic moments too.

It does perhaps 'solve' the problem his previous show 'Mr Sunshine' faced (basically that he was playing a not very likable character) by giving his character here a reason for being that way, but there certainly is a better quality of writing on display here.

All in all, Perry is on top form, the supporting cast are good, and this show has potential.

Ryan's (Matthew Perry) first line of the series is the same first line he says in the premiere of The Odd Couple (2015), in which he also starred.
