Trailer: Showtime's HAPPYISH

A.K.A 'the TV drama Phillip Seymour Hoffman was going to do before he died'. The UK's own Steve Coogan has replaced Hoffman in this Showtime comedy-drama, HAPPYISH, about a middle-aged man whose life is thrown into disarray when his much younger boss arrives spouting lingo like "digital", "social" and "viral". The embedded trailer didn't make me laugh very much, as I personally don't think there are many 44-year-olds who truly grapple with modern life's idioms, although there's comedy value in a bitter man rallying against the infantilisation of modern man, I suppose. Not sure about this one, to be honest, but as a fan of Coogan I'll be watching when it premieres 26 April.
