Matthew Perry (stars as Ryan King, a recent widower and sports talk radio host ready to get back to work after the loss of his wife. Ryan's alpha-male boss, Stephen, played by John Cho, has a different plan in store for Ryan, making him attend grief counseling before returning to the air. A reluctant Ryan finds himself in a support group for "life change," where he meets an oddball cast of characters, all with their own backstories filled with varying degrees of loss.

On his very first visit, Ryan convinces the group to deviate from their normal session and starts a tournament-style competition (March Sadness!) to find out whose story is the worst. Ryan's total lack of interest in "the healing process" proves distracting and he soon butts heads with the by-the-books group leader, Lauren, played by Tony Award-winner Laura Benanti. Back at work, Ryan is confronted with the fact that he hasn't really processed his grief and realizes Lauren and the other members of the group might be key in helping him move on.... 

Scott Silveri (creator) (Joey, Friends), Jon Pollack (Up All Night), Todd Holland (Malcolm in the Middle), Karey Nixon; Matthew Perry, Liz Brixius (Nurse Jackie), Lesley Wake-Webster (Traffic Light) (co-executive producers)

It's like Community, but replace a therapy group for Greenvale. Matthew Perry is no longer Chandler Bing. Will he be likable as Ryan King? The supporting cast is generally un-nameable, but recognizable. This is the first time Perry and creator Scott Silveri have worked together since Friends. I'm unfortunately leaning towards no here.
