For years, fans have been searching for a show to fill the void left by iconic workplace comedies. Now, CBS’s new sitcom, “DMV,” is stepping up to the plate, and its latest episode proves it might just have the chaotic energy viewers have been missing.
A Workplace on the Brink
In the second episode, titled “Stay In Your Lane,” the notoriously maddening environment of the Department of Motor Vehicles claims its first victim: a new hire who quits almost as soon as they start. The sudden departure sends waves of panic through the office, particularly for Colette. She grows increasingly worried that the promising new employee, Noa, will be the next to walk out the door.
The episode follows Colette’s frantic and likely hilarious attempts to make the DMV a more welcoming place, a mission that puts her directly at odds with her jaded colleague, Gregg, who advises her to just let the inevitable happen. This core conflict sets the stage for a classic sitcom dilemma: can one person’s optimism survive the soul-crushing reality of a bureaucratic nightmare?
The Heir to “The Office”?
From its setting in a universally dreaded location to its cast of characters navigating daily absurdities, “DMV” is already sparking conversations among sitcom fans. The premise is ripe for the kind of observational humor and relatable frustrations that made shows like “The Office” cultural touchstones. The dynamic between the ever-hopeful Colette, the cynical Gregg, and the fresh-faced Noa provides the perfect recipe for workplace comedy gold.
While Dunder Mifflin had paper, this DMV has paperwork, and the potential for cringeworthy and hilarious character interactions is just as high. Viewers are already tuning in to see if the show can capture that same magic, turning mundane bureaucracy into must-see TV.
Don’t Get Left Behind
As the drama unfolds, “Stay In Your Lane” challenges its characters to navigate the fine line between protocol and pandemonium. Colette’s struggle is a hilarious reflection of anyone who has ever tried to implement positive change in a system designed to resist it.
Will her efforts be enough to convince Noa to stay? Or is Gregg’s pessimistic view the harsh reality of life at the DMV? You’ll have to watch to find out.
Catch new episodes of “DMV” on Mondays at 8:30/7:30c on CBS.
