ekeby This is a show for a very narrow demographic. The range of pop culture put downs is vast. It's hard to imagine anyone but gay, full-time couch potatoes understanding all of it. I come close to that category, but I'm old. Younger versions of me will probably get more of it. And, you've got to be quick to even take it all in. The show may be just a so-so framework for a barrage of rat-a-tat-tat jokes, but oh, what jokes!The lines are tossed off so fast and are so all-over-the-place topically they barely register. If you waste time laughing, you'll miss the next joke. Not many shows can work in a line like "If I've learned anything, it's that there are limits to even what Viola Davis can make plausible." Now, for me, that's funny. And it's funny because it's true. But I can easily understand that a lot of people would be baffled. Not only do you have to know who Viola Davis is, you have to have seen enough of her work to know that she's been in some real turkeys.I especially like some of the side players, truly original characters we haven't seen before. E.g., the transgender server who's a 911 conspiracy theory nut. When she says to a co-worker, "I wish you'd been on Flight 93," it's stunning. I'm not sure what my reaction was. Did I laugh because it was funny, or was I just astonished by the anything-is-fair-game attitude? I don't know, and frankly, I don't care. I was entertained, and in the broadest sense of the word.You may hate the characters, and you may not like their constantly snarky attitude. But you have to admire how they can simultaneously celebrate and fearlessly skewer the values American pop culture has engendered in us all.
madhouserevival I'm overwhelmed by the sheer volume of great shows that come via either Netflix or Amazon that absolutely impress me. I don't have enough time to watch them all. Add this to the list of shows I HAVE to watch. The characters, caricatures of their real life counterparts, are so crazy and clueless. And I can't get enough of James Urbaniak, of course, as he's one of my absolute favorite voice-actors in history. His character is kind of a satellite that passes by at just the right time but he's always noticed. Wish the haters would all just go kill each other off. We don't need people who are that stupid to ruin a show's ratings. Please go find a comet to worship and leave our planet!
yianiy Great new comedy!It's been a while since I watched something labeled as comedy and actually laughed because of it. I have survived through many comedy series where the laughter in the background is making me feel guilty that I am not laughing when it is clearly a "Hey! This part is funny!You should laugh as well!" sign. Watching this was refreshing. Mean comedy is not really that new and it is not really nice when you encounter it in real life if it is enforced by negativeness. But even with that, I really did laugh and enjoyed the first three episodes. It might be a just a bit harder for some with all of the celebrity references, but even without that knowledge, they will make you laugh.I hope that people will be able to look at this for what it is: a comedy series. And in comedy, nothing is offensive.
wolamutejohn There's nothing more annoying than watching an episode of this show. Whomever wrote this show, has made a monstrosity. Let it be known that glorifying people without a filter, without modesty, and without any tact is quite possibly worse than terrorism. If even one eighth of the population of the United States was even half as egocentric, chatty, loud-mouthed, or as brash, while at the same time being as ignorant as the main characters of this show, I would either become a mass murderer or commit seppuku with extreme dedication and detail for tradition. If you consider yourself to be of at least average intelligence, and happen to prefer to not be bothered by self-centered people, do yourself a favor and steer clear of this horrible show.
