DMV is a single-camera comedy set in the place everyone dreads going most—the Department of Motor Vehicles—where employees are making minimum wage dealing with customers who are annoyed before they even walk in the door,” reads CBS’s synopsis. “Working at the East Hollywood DMV office are Colette (Dyer), a driving examiner with a big heart and bad boundaries; Gregg (Meadows), a misanthropic former English teacher; Vic (Cavalero), a former bouncer who loves putting difficult drivers in their places; Barbara (Kearney), a newly promoted manager who tries hard but often misses the mark; Noa (Tarrant), a charming surfer who seems destined for much greater things; and Ceci (Zumbado), a scrappy photographer who isn’t afraid to speak her mind. Fortunately, this quirky crew has each other to navigate the twists and turns of the DMV together.”

“Pilot” Plot: East Hollywood Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) driving examiner Colette pines for her coworker Noa while enduring teasing from colleagues Gregg, Vic, and Ceci. Also, new manager Barb rallies the crew to save their branch from government shutdown.
