I'm a fan of the KLF, and was pretty excited to watch this. For most of the run time I was mesmerized; I caught tidbits that I already knew and saw many more that I didn't know about. Understanding the KLF is sort of like nailing Jello to a tree, mostly pointless. I appreciate the music, tolerate the "art", and deal with how it all ended.
I was just as disappointed with the ending to this film. While I wouldn't call WKtK an all consuming encyclopedia of things KLF, I was a bit confused by the omission of 2K, the Band that released "F*** The Millennium". Why not mention this? It was clearly a part of the Cauty and Drummond timeline, and could have filled the "23 year gap" a bit. I'm guessing that by leaving it out it served the not talking about the Million Pound burning for 23 years plot point a bit better. Sloppy.
The film also seems to paint the duo as geniuses that the rest of us just couldn't quite understand, but the reality is that they met their goal and became so "quirky" that it was impossible to understand them. (My regret is that their goal could have been a bit loftier.)

I wondered why there was so little buzz about this show, granted it's online and non-public broadcast shows don't always get a ton of notice, at least at first, but wow is this bad. I mean horrible.
There isn't one single joke in this "comedy". The entire show is like watching the most boring people you know tell the most boring stories they know. Every character is either so plain as to disappear into the background, or drones on and on but never says anything remotely interesting. My God, there's even a "gag" (I'm using the term very loosely) about how boring one characters story is, but even that isn't even funny in an ironic way.
It feels like the dialog was written by some bot on the internet that scanned Facebook posts for their creamy goodness.
Every character has a pained look on their face at least once per episode, and I had one continually for each episodes entirety.
I never thought I'd look back at the movie Moneybone and wish I'd watched it instead, but here we are.
Don't start.
