ABC’s latest comedy series Alex Inc premiered on Wednesday night and fans on Twitter seem to be loving the show.
For those who missed it, the comedy series is all about a dad (Zach Braff) who leaves his radio job to start his own podcasting company. Along the way he has to deal with a managing a family, following leads for stories (that do not play out as planned) and win over investors.

While it is a simple plot, fans online seemed to dig the unique realm the show covers, as well as Braff’s leading performance.
Particularly, fans of Braff’s beloved Scrubs role were especially vocal in their approval.
“Loving Alex Inc so far,” one fan wrote. “So glad to have Zach Braff and his inner monologue back on my TV.”
Another viewer commented, “My Wednesday is so much better knowing Zach Braff is back on TV!”

Even fans who did not directly compare the show to Scrubs were thrilled with the results.

Metacritic does not have a user rating for the show yet, but its critical rating is a lukewarm 48. But based on the online reactions, Braff has another crowd-pleaser on his hands.
Alex Inc airs Wednesdays at 8:30 p.m. ET on ABC.
