“#Roush Review: Annaleigh Ashford Shines in Buddy Comedy ‘B Positive’<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

Let’s start by accentuating the positive: It’s about time that someone gave Tony-winning spitfire Annaleigh Ashford<\/a> (Masters of Sex<\/i><\/a>) a lead role that takes full advantage of her madcap personality and offbeat comic timing.<\/p>\n

B Positive<\/em><\/a>, from hitmaker Chuck Lorre<\/a> and longtime Mom<\/em><\/a> colleague Marco Pennette<\/a> (borrowing as he has before from a real-life experience), offers her just that opportunity, although it’s not yet clear if the show will live up to her potential. As the exuberant Gina, a hard-partying free spirit who impulsively offers to donate a kidney to high school acquaintance Drew (Silicon Valley<\/i>‘s<\/a> terminally sheepish Thomas Middleditch<\/a>), Ashford is warm, wacky, larger and weirder than life.<\/p>\n

The moment she arrives in the pilot episode, as an eye-rolling joint-toking scamp of a bridesmaid who can’t help but be the center of attention, she elevates the premise of B Positive<\/i>, which is maybe a B+ at best. Gina is the live wire in this odd couple, while Middleditch struggles to bring much originality to his wet-blanket Drew Downer, a therapist who could use one himself. It doesn’t help that his life is a series<\/a> of dark clouds, with a snippy ex-wife (a wasted Sara Rue<\/a>) and a sullen teen daughter (Izzy G.) who snapp<\/a>ishly ignores him.<\/p>\n

Gina, who chirpily drives a shuttle van for elderly clients in an assisted-living facility (including\u00a0Love Boat<\/em> and sitcom veteran Bernie Kopell and, next week, the great Linda Lavin<\/a>), is a more interesting sort of mess. Her equally spacey BFF, Gabby, is played by You’re the Worst<\/i>‘s<\/a> delirious Kether Donohue<\/a>, and their scenes together suggest the seed of a much funnier buddy comedy should things with Drew not work out.<\/p>\n

But for now, that’s the hand we’ve been dealt. And even before next week’s complication, when Gina’s slapstick attempts to stay one step ahead of a creditor leave Drew wondering if he’s made the right choice, he’s already fretting that he won’t be able to keep Gina sober long enough to ensure a healthy transplant. Regardless, will this bonding experience make them, as she puts it, “kidney buddies for life?”<\/p>\n

I know this much: I wouldn’t let her get away.<\/p>\n

B Positive<\/em>, Series Premiere, Thursday, November 5, 8:30\/7:30c,\u00a0<\/b>CBS<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
