Between this and G.L.O.W., there’s a great, new wave of female-led comedies forming.

Last year, Talya Lavie put herself on Hollywood’s map with an Office-esque comedy feature, Zero Motivation, that was set on an Israeli army base.

This year, Amy Poehler, Natasha Lyonne, Tami Sagher, and more are lending their pull as producers to adapt this into a series over at BBC America.

As BBC America is trying something new under the relatively new leadership of President and General Manager Sarah Barnett, we think they’re started off in a good direction.
