"Tires," a scripted workplace comedy series created by Shane Gillis, Steve Gerben, and Derek McKeever, premiered on Netflix on May 23, 2023, with six episodes.
The show is set in a fictional auto repair shop, Valley Forge Automotive Center, and draws comparisons to "The Office" and "Superstore." Despite negative reviews from critics, it has a high 92% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with viewers appreciating its self-aware humor and satire of workplace culture.
"Tires" follows Will, the uncertain heir to an auto repair chain, as he attempts to revive his father's business amid mockery from his cousin Shane, who is co-created and executive-produced by Gillis, who also stars in the series.
The show aims to skewer elites, humanize red-staters, avoiding the 'bro comedy' genre by making fun of the laddish culture of the auto repair shop.
Shane Gillis, a controversial figure in the comedy world, was named an upcoming star at multiple festivals and became known for his racist, misogynistic, and homophobic comments on his podcast, leading to his hiring and firing at Saturday Night Live.
The show has been renewed for a second season.
