finished up I think you should leave. funniest show I've seen in a long time. there are a couple misses, but the hits are huge. watch on netflix.
Ugh unfortunately I mostly hate it. I struggled not to turn it off near the end of the first episode and then struggled weighing my own evolving (optimistic) or waning (pessimistic) sense of humor. But I found enough reasons to chuckle on the second episode to push through. I'm finding I enjoy the ideas of the sketches but hate watching most of them play out. But some subtle comedic acting has been good. My favorite so far (I think I'm through episode 4) was very Odenkirk/Mr Show like. The motorcycles skit. Silly, quick, fun.
Maybe the long cringe dramas are too well acted and produced for me to enjoy the premise.
Yeah, by and large I'm not a fan as well. It just seems there are other shows that have already done a better job at what this one is trying to do (like you mention, Mr. Show), Tim & Eric chief among them. Coincidentally enough, I thought one of the only worthwhile sketches was a Tim Heidecker one (where Tim H. was the jazz guy at the party).
I think for me a lot of it is, I don't think Tim Robinson is a strong performer by any means, and should not be used as the lynchpin of any scene. However, he is used as exactly that throughout most of the show. I realized pretty much anything I liked (Will Forte on the plane, Cecily Strong in the magician sketch, the horny guy, christmas joke, horse commercial, the aforementioned jazz guy sketch), he was not tasked with carrying the sketch (or in it at all).
