Anyone see it yet? I looked around for reviews, and what I see looks good.

So, I think I’ll binge on the 5 episodes tonight.

Anyone watching?

I tried this last night, it was terrible. But maybe you’ll like it better than I did.

The long opening skit went nowhere near funny though to me.

That was my shortest binge yet. I made it about 5 minutes into the second episode and shut it off.

Just not funny.

I thought it was as good as Mr. Show.

Meaning that it’s pretty uneven, but has some great sketches. I wish that they’d had the time to do more than four episodes. In the behind-the-scenes episode, you get a glimpse of their writer’s wall, and there are a ton of ideas for sketches that sound like they could’ve been hilarious.

Loved it. It was amazing, as I expected from what is essentially an updated and revived Mr. Show.

It was very much a revived Mr. Show, but I don’t think it had as many hits as misses this time around. I watched the first 2.5, so I’ll watch the rest to give it a chance to hit it’s stride.
