From the corporate offices to the factory floor, they'll pull out all the stops to make it work... if they can get out of their own way. Read More Read Less Watch on Peacock Stream Now

      While American Auto's hijinks don't bode well for the future of Payne Motors, they promise a hilarious sitcom with a solid foundation.

      roy y Brilliant, the interplay of the characters and witty script provides a large slice of comforting humour. Worth watching form the passenger seat and I hope the journey continues with more smiles to the gallon! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/31/23 Full Review StephenPaul C The greatest 10 episodes ever!!!!!!!!! Only 1 season!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/18/23 Full Review Caroline H I love this quirky new show!! Anything to bring light and laughs to the 'Detroit area' auto industry is a good thing. Any new viewers need to give it a chance, and bonus for those with dry or twisted senses of humor. 😄👍🏼 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/11/23 Full Review Gerri R I think this show is hilarious-Great writing! It's refreshing to see a show that can laugh at how crazy this society is!!! Hope it gets renewed for another season…. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/21/23 Full Review Lov B Clever funny!

      John Doyle Globe and Mail A mad satire of corporate life, it is mainly set in the boardroom, where executives prove daily that they know nothing. It's got the contemporary, socially aware vibe of Superstore and has the same creative team. Jan 18, 2022 Full Review Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com [A] smart, promising show. Jan 4, 2022 Full Review Angie Han Hollywood Reporter Can't help but feel like an unofficial companion piece to Spitzer's Superstore - but from the other end of the corporate hierarchy. Dec 14, 2021 Full Review Dustin Rowles Pajiba It's smart and very funny after only three episodes, so if it gets an opportunity at a second season, I can only see it getting better. Jan 12, 2022 Full Review Matt Roush TV Insider I wouldn't buy a used car from these people, but I'll relish watching them dig their own graves in a future auto graveyard. Jan 11, 2022 Full Review Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media This offbeat, albeit formulaic series features an ensemble cast of semi-competent employees negotiating workplace issues while trying to keep their inept company afloat. Rated: 3/5 Jan 6, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews
