12 TV Shows In Serious Danger Of Cancellation In 2020
4. Indebted
With a cast that includes Fran Drescher, Steven Weber, Adam Pally, and Abby Elliot, one would think Indebted would be comedic gold. Unfortunately, from the get-go this show is a stilted, awkward mess.
It’s unclear if the fault lies with the writing or the directing or both, as the actors have had greater success elsewhere. Drescher and Pally have mastered their own comedic cadences and it’s unclear what is holding them back in this particular production. While the writing is pretty basic and nothing particularly uproarious, what are supposed to be rapid-fire jokes are at odds with the awkward inept children’s show-level of direction.
Unless the writers and directors can get on the same page, it is unlikely this show will see a full first season, let alone a second one.
