Yeah, I only got 4 or 5 episodes into American Auto and it's just too mean spirited to be an enjoyable version of the "workplace comedies".
Like the (great?) grandson of the car company's founder is just a horrible person. He's not even funny dumb like he was in Superstore, he's just mean dumb. The joke for most of the characters is "haha, they're doing something so bad", when in reality, a lot of that stuff IS what rich, entitled, idiots in positions of power do, so it's not really that funny to me.
Parks and Rec while having a bit slower burn of a first season (but also pretty short), still had a lot of the heart and characters that were fun to watch (or at least weren't completely horrible people). Like Andy kinda sucked in S1 of P&R since he was taking advantage of Anne, but the whole show wasn't full of people like that, and he got a lot better after Anne dumped him.
Mr. Mayor is kinda "management" focused (maybe a bit more than P&R since it's higher up the local government food chain), but the characters are goofy and quirky in different fun ways and aren't actively horrible people.
