Taste of the King

Nothing actually happens. Show has very unique visuals, lots of potential but it's not funny, not deep as it thinks it is. Pretty boring start.

This is a good enough introduction to the kind of show that Midnight Gospel is. I can only assume that subsequent episodes will follow a similar format.

It feels to me like a stream of consciousness podcast played over animation. I guess the humour lies in the fact that the zombie apocalypse takes a backseat to the obviously less pressing discussion about drugs and meditation. The juxtaposition is key.

There's so much going on in the background at all times it can start to feel a little overwhelming. I can't help but think I might have missed some kind of hilarious detail amongst all of the chaos.

Definitely this first episode has me interested to see what else they can accomplish with this idea.

My only reservation is that I could see this style of show becoming uninteresting once the novelty of the format has worn off. I hope it spices things up.

The first episode seemed to have a very unique look and a very different feel to it. This mix of calm podcast type conversation within all chaos had a great potential to be something very funny but ended up pretty boring. I do have better hopes for the next episodes though.

I found this episode very amusing because of both the events happening in the simulation and because of the juxtaposition between the silliness on screen and the serious and important conversation. I find it worked wonderfully together.

I especially enjoyed the animation style and feeling. Compared to the next few episodes, the pacing of the on-screen action was very enjoyable, and the gags felt perfect.

I really enjoyed this first episode. At first, it felt a little weird because of the format, then I realized it seemed at lot of it was improv and then I googled it and realized this was created by using conversations of Duncan Trussell's podcast, which is a brilliant idea! I thought it was funny and witty, more than anything the idea behind it is awesome. This one felt a little preachy to me, but it's still really good. I really liked it and I hope there's an episode with Joe Rogan.
