From the gang that gave you The Ranch and Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 comes The Crew, a NASCAR-produced Netflix comedy about Kevin James’ macho racing crew having to deal with (yuck!) a female boss.
Jillian Mueller stars as the daughter of a fat cat race car driver who is anointed to take the reins of the fledgling Bobby Spencer Racing team, while James leads the charge to, per a synopsis, “protect himself and his crew from her attempts to modernize the team.” No LaCroix in the fridges for these guys. Just beer.
Watch the trailer below:
Paris Berelc, Bruce McGill, Freddie Stroma, and Sarah Stiles round out the cast of the comedy, which arrives on Netflix on February 15.

The Ranch was dire. This looks …. also dire.
The header image tells you everything you need to know. Yuck!
I’m going to assume that everybody involved in this was beamed to the present from 1991.
Honestly, I’m starting to wonder if “the olds whining about their new boss who is way too young and out of touch with their old school and insular culture” is some of a sort ur-narrative that can repeated across all times and places.Like maybe there’s a Greek play somewhere that history has forgotten where Aristokeles the young prince is made commander and the old grizzled veterans complain that he’s ruining everything with his fancy new tactics.
Yeah, something tells me “older gen complains about younger gen, younger gen complains about older gen” isn’t new.
Eh, seems mildly amusing in a “this feels like a vehicle Tim Allen would have been heading in the late nineties” way.
Would he have shaved his head?
Or last year. Whichever.
When do they replace his wife with Leah Remini?The tagline is accurate:“Your elder relatives would be all over this, if they knew what channel Netflix was!”
Jesus, dude, use a spoiler tag.
She’s praying to the clay table. She’ll be here in a minute.
No no, she’ll replace the female boss. That way she can yell at Kevin James while creating a Sam/Dianne-type relationship, culminating in a big fat NASCAR wedding at Talladega in the season three finale.
Thought this was about The Big Show Show from the thumbnail. A bit short obviously but the resemblance is uncanny.
Well Kevin James was on the same high school wrestling squad as Mick Foley, so.
This shit sucks
What’d they use to anoint that skull? Crisco?
That looks spectacularly bad. Might be worth a background noise viewing.
Focus group transcript:“Gee, this doesn’t seem very funny”
*turns laugh track WAY up*“OMG This is hilarious!”
In four years Netflix is going to cancel this show and Tom Cotton is going to parlay complaining about said cancellation into a successful Presidential run.
