    Absolutely Terrible

    Worst, most cringe jokes I've ever seen in my entire life... So stupid, I feel as if I have been physically hurt by what I watched. This makes The Terminator look like a comedy.

    Cringy

    I saw the pilot for this show over a year ago and it was just terrible. Yes, it had a few funny moments but, I just couldn't get over the main character being a woman my age playing a teen boy. Just seemed odd. Why not cast an actual kid? It feels like an SNL skit that when on for too long. Either way I wish them success and hope they find their viewers. Good luck!!

    What?

    So confused! I wanted to love it. It was weird and quirky but in all the wrong ways. Instead of laughing the punch line makes me cringe. I think it small clips this could be a great bit! Bet it was a SNL skit at one point. But this falls about 10 feet off. I give you a three because I like the attempt and it was still mild entertaining in the car crash sense,

    If I could give it less than a star I would.

    Absolutely awful, the previews were trash to begin with. I don't understand why a woman in her 40s would want to play this character to begin with. It's not funny at alll. I don't see it lasting long at all. It's cringe X1000. I hope to god no one tried this hard to fit it. It's obnoxious.

    Beyond Cringe

    I created an account just to say how terrible this show is. Whoever created it has clearly never met an actual teenage boy in real life ever and I can't believe it wasn't cancelled immediately after airing the pilot.
