SERIES PREMIERE: Andy Samberg, from Saturday Night Live, and Andre Braugher, from Men of a Certain Age and Homicide: Life on the Street, are such an unlikely pairing – especially on a prime-time broadcast network sitcom – that this new series deserves a look. And after a first look, it’ll earn a second, because this is a series concept, and a bunch of eccentrically drawn characters, that could grow on you quickly. And surprisingly, in this comic setting, Braugher, playing the police precinct’s (and Samberg’s) no-nonsense new boss, initially sticks the landing more than Samberg, though they both do well.
