And agree that it’s pretty bad. I’m actually surprised that it made it to prime time tv in the first place. There’s no way this show will last the season. I wouldn’t be surprised if they yanked it in the next couple of weeks.

DMV is based on the short story "Chicken-Flavored and Lemon-Scented" from GAMES AND RITUALS by Katherine Heiny

It's about this quirky cast of characters working at a DMV..

The TV show actually captures it pretty well I think.

Loved the book and now the show but I totally get that it's not everyone's cup of tea☕
