Very hit and miss

Lauren Lapkus as always was fantastic, and I feel a little aggrieved they decided to lure me in and set my expectations high by having her first in the line-up.

I'm similarly annoyed that I had to sit through some of the worst television I've ever seen before I got to watch Dr Brown's episode, which was technically amazing and well worth the watch.

Everyone else varied from just bad (John Early, Tim Robinson) to straight up awful.

My recommendation? Watch episodes 1 and 8 for sure, 2 and 7 if you're very bored, and avoid the cancer in the middle at all costs.

Tim Robinson was by far the only watchable episode of this entire thing. We couldn't finish any of the other episodes

I've seen the first 3 episodes. The first was flawed but still hilarious. The second was awful. The third was decent, but had parts which really dragged on and on.

This show is OKAY, I guess. But I'm kinda disappointed since it has the potential to be better.

I thought the only decent ones were 5 and 7, with 7 being the best. 1 was really bad and 6 with Paul downs was straight up pathetic.

The Lauren Lapkus episode was not my cup of tea. Some fairly ok stuff, but nothing truly funny. It also felt a bit misogynic and classist in some cases.

John Early's episode was awesome. Hilarious.

Henry Zebowski's episode... the first few minutes was WTF?!? But then I really enjoyed the absurdity.

You don't have to watch in order. Each episode is a stand-alone. I'm starting with 4 because I heard it was good, and so far I like it. But came on here to see which other ones were good and which ones I can skip.
