Sandra Oh is, of course, a treasure, and I did actually like her and Jay Duplass's scenes. That said, I think this show maybe does not handle it's own material very well. As a professor, it grossly misunderstands the relationship between teachers and students, and is too quick to make students into a nameless mob to make an antagonist. All of the concerns that the students collectively raise are legitimate, but they're never treated with seriousness.

I think the comparison here is that it would be weird today to have a period drama that's only about the Upstairs crowd and not the Downstairs crowd. It's ignoring some huge power relationships and just kind of handwaving them, and in doing that it just comes off as tonedeaf.
