Synopsis
From Dan Harmon and Emmy Award-winning directors Joe and Anthony Russo comes Community, a smart comedy series about a band of misfits who attend Greendale Community College.
At the centre of the group is Jeff Winger (Joel McHale), a fast-talkin' lawyer whose degree has been revoked.
With some help from his fellow classmates, Winger forms a study group who eventually learn more about themselves than their course work.
Also among the series stars who comprise the group are comedy legend Chevy Chase as Pierce, a man whose life experience has brought him infinite wisdom; Gillian Jacobs as Britta, the 28-year old drop out with something to prove; Yvette Nicole Brown as Shirley, a sassy middle-aged divorcée; Danny Pudi as Abed, a pop culture junkie; Alison Brie as Annie, a high-strung perfectionist; Donald Glover as Troy, a former high school football star trying to find his way and Ken Jeong as Spanish professor, Señor Chang.
