    Hidden gem, lost in the shuffle for sure!

    This show is delightfully hilarious. Seems like it was lost in the subscription battle , being a YouTube exclusive. Never heard of it but loved the actors and their other work. Was very excited to find this. Amazing show, hilarious all around. Chemistry was great and a fantastic supporting cast. Hate it was so short lived. Definitely worth the watch!!!

    Excellent casting and writing

    Adam Pally delivers everything I've been missing since Happy Endings. The premise is unique and allows for hilarious storylines, and the writing is top notch. This is one of three shows I've told people is a "watch immediately" category. I can't believe the show didn't get more advertising or hype. I had to dig to find this. I hope this show makes its way to an audience.

    Charming, unpredictable, and hilarious.

    Champaign ILL could use some of those Netflix fake reviews, judging by the low score (sub 7 at the time of writing, with a meagre 500 reviews), but other than it's low visibility and completely undeserved lack of views, it is difficult to see what could improve this underrated gem of a show.

    As far as buddy comedies go, Adam Pally and Sam Richardson share an outstanding chemistry coupled with excellent timing. The two actors feed off each other, and the script is a mile a minute, neither missing a beat. Their characters are well layered with clearly defined arcs, complex and flawed, but always likeable, or at least always redeemable.

    One of the best shows I've seen all year.

    Clever, funny and poignant

    It's funny. It's over the top. It's about two 18 year olds who were just about to start their adult lives and then tagged along as their friend hit it big in the celebrity world. And 15 years later, it's over and they're back in Champaign, Ill. living with their parents and not fitting in. And grieving. Each episode is so well written. It really pulls you in. At first, it's just funny and shocking. Then, little by little, we get to know these nincompoops as more complex human characters and the series has its heart. By Episode 7 "8.1 Milligrams Per Deciliter," the pinnacle of the series, you will be satiated, in that way that we feel after being entertained just right. That episode shows off the writing, editing and acting so well. (The music is divine.) I wish this show was on Netflix so everyone would watch it and make these actors and writers super-celebs. But, on YouTube it's like my secret Precious and I will enjoy its delights.

    Funny show, got me hooked

    I happened to stumble upon this show on Youtube. I did't know what it was about based on the name, but that seems to be trend on youtube. At first the show seemed like a dumb slapstick comedy but then I really got into it. The writing is very good, the jokes are well timed and I enjoy the pop culture references. The main characters do come across as idiots, but there is some depth to them. Definitely a binge worthy show.
