Each episode follows the journey of Josh Corman (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) a 30-something-year-old man living in a world which feels a little heavy on his shoulders.
An aspiring musician, he is not where he wants to be, and is currently teaching 5th Grade. He's lonely, having split up with his fiancée, and ultimately feels like a failure.

The official synopsis for the series teases: "Mr. Corman follows the days and nights of Josh Corman, played by Gordon-Levitt, an artist at heart but not by trade. A career in music hasn't panned out, and he teaches fifth grade at a public school in the San Fernando Valley.
"His ex-fiancé Megan has moved out and his high school buddy Victor has moved in. He knows he has a lot to be thankful for but finds himself struggling nevertheless through anxiety, loneliness, and a sinking suspicion that he sucks as a person.
"Darkly funny, oddly beautiful and deeply heartfelt, this relatable dramedy speaks for our contemporary generation of 30-somethings—rich with good intentions, poor with student loans and yearning to become real grown-ups sometimes before they die."
