Wife and I just finished it and it was consistently very funny, quirky, well-acted and entertaining. Very few soliloquys about what's wrong with the world, just very well done entertainment. My wife really wanted to watch it and I wasn't that enthused initially but thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish. Tony Shalhoub is just great as is the rest of the cast. 5 seasons, about 42 total episodes and they're all released so you bingers can get through it quickly.
It's getting harder and harder for me to find things on the various streaming services to watch but this was very, very much worth my time. With Netflix going postal on sharing logins (we've been paying for 4 at a time but my kids no longer live in my home), we're reevaluating just how much we watch Netflix anymore. A lot of 'preachy'/subtle political leaning type of programming, a lot of original content targeting a younger demographic and some of the recent original content just frankly hasn't been that good. Might just be the excuse we need to cull the herd (Amazon, Hulu, Netflix and Disney with Sling during CFB season). To be fair, we don't pay for all of these but we pay for a couple and my kids pay for a couple and we share.
