    Comedy that makes fun of itself and the actors

    A different style of comedy that is refreshing, funny, and makes fun of itself as well as YouTube. Nothing is off the table when it comes to how it really is behind the scenes as depicted in the plot lines. The gags are plentiful, star guest appearances prevalent, and it all makes sense after you get into the flow of the show. Who is Ryan Hansen? Had no idea until this show, but apparently he has been around for a while and is a great choice for this series. Worth the watch.

    One of the Good TV Comedies.

    It seems like shows like this are facing a dwindling audience. I don't understand how well written, absurd, and entertaining comedies like this struggle to find hordes of adoring fans, while a guy getting into a bathtub full of cheetos gets millions of views and likes on youtube.

    This is the 3rd show I've watched on youtube Originals after Sideswiped, and Overthinking With Kat & June. All 3 shows are good, but Ryan Hansons is by far the most funny and silly.

    Recommended for fans of Veep, No Activity, Eastbound & Down, Seinfeld, and Curb. Just to name a few.

    If you love comedy and deconstructing tv shows this is for you

    It is self referential in the extreme, it is so meta it hurts, it rips the pxxx out of tv crime shows and their recurring tropes, it gives some insight into tv show terminology and methods,

    I SIMPLY LOVED IT. EAGER FOR THE SECOND SEASON.

    Various cameos enhance the show in a similar way to the excellent EXTRAS by Mr Gervais.

    Pure Genius

    Clever premise, great plots, rapid fire banter, and plots that make you grin the moment you get the gag. (The Donald Faison and public domain princesses stories were personal favorites.)

    Hansen's enthusiasm is infectious. (And wow, did he really do that ninja stand in the Escape Room episode?)

    A little breaking the fourth wall and loving jabs at Hollywood itself takes it to the next level.

    Highly, highly recommend.

    Entertaining ,witty and funny

    This show is to entertain. It does not take itself seriously and the actors (familiar and new) are great and seem to be enjoying the show as much as the audience. With all that the plot and changes work. Hope to see a season 3.
