Vince Vaughn is a hit-or-miss actor to put it generously, but Vaughn + Carl Hiaasen… that's a winner combination, this could be really good.

Very awesome!! this looks great - the description takes everything I love and puts it into one package - it's like Bill wrote the show for me, lol!

Bill Lawrence is clearly enjoying his relationship with Apple and the tremendous success of Ted Lasso. I've always been a mega-fan of Lawrence's since Scrubs, so I'm really happy about Apple building this relationship.
