As a longtime fan of both Rogen and Silverman I was genuinely looking forward to an adult holiday series in the style of the old Rankin Bass Christmas Claymation movies. I'd heard some initial negative feedback but just assumed that this was due to the typical audience that's not prepared for this type of humor in a traditionally kid friendly medium. Nope. This thing is offensively unfunny in every way. Not even an "it's so bad, it's good" cult future for this abomination. I rarely think about the "business side of entertainment" but I'd pay money to watch an entire documentary about how this series made it to HBO and the individual(s) that gave it the green light. I literally can't wrap my head around it, and it's going to keep me up at night. There has to be some form of blackmail involved here. Did Rogen kidnap the child of a prominent WarnerMedia executive? Does Silverman have compromising photos of Casey Bloys? The world may never know.
What you can be sure of is that any time you spend watching this series will be minutes of your life that you'll never get back.
