    Would it kill you to write something funny

    These actors have been a part of several funny projects which set a high bar for me going in to my viewing. Everything falls flat and feels unfinished. This is disappointing.

    I expected way more.

    These two have been established their comedy credentials via other people's projects, but it seems they're not cut out for comedy on their own. It tries to be "I Think You Should Leave", but I didn't laugh at a single sketch- and I really wanted to like it. Disappointing.

    What??? Is this what comedy has come to?

    I gave 2 stars for 2 kinda descent skits. The dance class and the foot rub. Sadly neither of those made me laugh, they just weren't excruciating to watch. I guess I just don't get comedy these days, because this sucked. Hate it too because I thought these two would make me laugh.

    These two are absolutely hilarious together. A fair amount of the sketches fall flat and the reoccurring joke of hot plates and melted caramel didn't hit for me, but the interludes of Meredith viera interviewing them is pure comedy gold. I was laughing so hard I nearly chocked. Watching them discuss who got to keep certain comedic mannerisms was brilliant. I recommend if you're already a fan but if you're not on their comedic wavelengths you're gonna have a hard time clicking into this one.

    Worth every penny

    Just when the world seems to be careening off a cliff, deuxmoi scoops that Kate and John have reunited on Peacock after their devastating falling out years ago. I rushed to watch and spent the next hour lol'ing heartily, just like in the old days, when a glass of natural wine cost but $10. Just then, as the scent of hot caramel (or was it toast????) wafted through my living room, I felt a twinkle of something I hadn't since before my divorce. A sense of H O P E.

    Kate and John, carry on!!!!
