Marginally recommended, based on the fact that Drescher, Weber, Pally and Elliott are an extremely talented and funny cast, and there’s hope that the writing will improve to accommodate their talents.

There’s no spirit behind any dispute, major or minor, and that keeps the audience at a distance; characters feel like archetypes instead of real people, and the lack of honed humor doubles down on the disconnect.

But the humor isn't the problem with Indebted; the problem is how it treats debt and fiscal irresponsibility.

Indebted takes one of the hoariest sitcom premises imaginable and struggles to execute it with even a modicum of consistency or confidence. The Good Place made the difficult look easy. Indebted makes the familiar — good comedy is never actually easy — look difficult. ... These performers are too good for a show that's so instantly and inevitably forgotten.

It’s not good. ... “Indebted” feels more like the typical tossed-off network sitcom, with roars of laughter greeting each machine gun spray of bad jokes. The cast members don’t seem particularly inspired, including Pally.

For a show that really ought to be horsewhipped, have a look at NBC's alleged sitcom Indebted, which stars the animated corpses of Fran Drescher and Steven Weber as broke Baby Boomers who have to move back in with their son and his wife (Adam Pally, The Mindy Project, and Abby Elliott, Saturday Night Live). My only question after watching the pilot was, are they joking? And the answer was, no, not even once.

This show is very disappointing. The parents, and Dave characters so far are portraying idiots that are really unbelievably stupid. The plots so far are very poorly written. I was hoping for a well written comedy that is worthy of the actors' talents. Instead the scripts provide shows that are a waste of time and anything but funny. I doubt the show will have any more than a few viewers by the end of the first few episodes.

Horrible writing and acting. Just doesn't seem believable I will not continue to watch this disaster.
