After taking some time to deal with the death of his wife, sportscaster Ryan King is ready to push his feelings down and get back to work. However, Ryan's boss, preferring that Ryan work through his grief first, refuses to let him back on air until he gets counseling. Reluctantly, Ryan joins a support group, where his lack of interest in healing not only makes therapy interesting but also may just serve as the breath of fresh air needed to get his fellow group members back on track to health.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Go On's ensemble cast is terrific, but the show's focus is stretched very thin between a crowded stable of characters.

The ensemble is talented, but there's no heart. Go to Full Review Ken Tucker Entertainment Weekly 09/11/2012
I'd have to say I've rarely seen a show with such a gap between the abilities of its cast and the ideas at the heart of the series. Go to Full Review Matt Zoller Seitz New York Magazine/Vulture 09/11/2012

[I]t's a promising premise that's wasted on too many weird Matthew Perry faces and unfunny pop culture references to ever become anything meaningful or entertaining. Go to Full Review Chris Jones Esquire Magazine 10/19/2018
Thank you, NBC, for banking on some commercially sustainable percentage of us to be grown-ups. The bad news? You've hedged. It's as though you've said yes to death so long as everything around that death is comforting and derivative. Go to Full Review Terence Johnson AwardsCircuit.com 08/26/2018

By the end I was convinced that the joke is actually on us, that in order to empathize with these people they had to make you depressed with the wasted potential in the pilot. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
