Public Holiday Fest Streaming 26' - DMV - Season One/Series Finale

DMV followed the workers at the East Hollywood DMV. Collette, a driving instructor, tackles workplace problems, romance, and interpersonal connections with her coworkers. 

The show is a fictional account of the DMV, but makes the jokes that most people have when going to renew licenses and forms. Sadly for the cast and crew, back in March, the series was canceled after one season. With the series finale streaming yesterday on Binge. This is one of the only CBS series to air away from Paramount+. Oh well it didn't stream for long, just 20, twenty minute episodes.

Aussie Harriet Dyer and hunky Kiwi, Alex Tarrant, with Tim Meadows, Molly Kearney, Tony Cavalero, Gigi Zumbado, and Jessica Camacho.

With Dyer on board, what could go wrong you ask?

Well a lot. It just wasn't that funny. Don't expect another Colin From Accounts. They ain't one F bomb in this network series. Or rude sex joke. Most jokes just fell a little or lot flat!


In the last ever episode, the consultants choose in two days which DMV will close, for good. Kinda like the shows fate!

Noa passes his driver’s test and they throw a party after work and Collette finally kisses Noa. 

The DMV staff prepare for the worst and fix-up their résumés and we learn Vic never finished high school. Kinda not surprising though. Also a fall from grace after his efforts in HBO's hit, The Righteous Gemstones.

Colette realises there’s no chemistry with Noa after the bad kiss and Ceci helps her see how much she’s grown since starting to work at the DMV. 

Barb finds out Ray Henderson is embezzling money from the pensions. 

The consultants accidentally hit Barb with their car and decide to keep the branch open and shut down the North Hollywood branch. 

Ray gets fired and the new head of the DMV is Beau Young. Played by the lovely, Randall Park. So we may have got more Park if season two would have gone ahead. Oh well. Not to worry.

Abbott Elementary for me, is still the network gold comedy standard. This just wasn't it. Still, I am looking forward to Dyer's, Colin From Accounts apparently also streaming on Binge, soon.
