Underwhelming
I LOVED Nathan for You and The Rehearsal. In addition, A24 has made (and distributed) some of my all-time favorite movies. So when I heard Nathan Fielder was making a show and A24 was involved, my excitement was very high.
I want to like this show so much and I wish I could say it is a good show. It's just... Not that good. I don't know what else to say. It's not unwatchable. But it's mediocre, it's often boring, and it's just not that fun to watch.
I understand that the characters are intentionally unlikable and many shows I enjoy will take this route. But the characters in this show are both awful people AND extremely boring.
I'm on episode 9 and I'm ready to be done. It's feeling like a chore but I got this far so I'll finish it out. If this review isn't amended and ends here just assume episodes 9 & 10 were just as lackluster as the rest of the season.
Edit: Episode 10 was somewhat more interesting than the rest of the season. Can't recommend starting this series from Episode 1 but honestly maybe just watch the last episode it would've made a decent A24 movie on it's own.
