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.

I have no clue what I just watched. Was it supposed to be funny, because I didn't laugh one single time. It was just a hot mess. What was with the TV interview and cutting to real life events? That has worked in some movies, but it wasn't the primary story, like here. Someone PLEASE make a good movie. SKIP IT!!

John Early is one of the most underrated comedians of our generation. Loved watching him back in action. Truly happy he and Kate Berlant finally got their own show. So well deserved and long overdue!

Watched this after "Cinnamon in the Wind" and it serves as an interesting contrast. The striving for spontaneity in "Cinnamon" is replaced with this more mapped-out series of skits. The concept behind the skits is certainly clever, if you've seen the trailer. The skits move pretty quickly, with a couple of threads connecting them, a heavy book and Kate/John's answer to Apple Pay, i.e. "Do you take Hot Caramel here?" I'm trying to remember where I first saw them, I think it was some cable comedy short-lived story, or maybe via "I Think You Should Go Now." Their comedy here is relatively gentle (well it is on Peacock) and there is the challenge of meta-comedy in taping a show that at its heart spoofs taped-shows. I thought it worked just fine, and the two stars have more than a chemistry, some telepathy. Their tackling of the sexual double-standard was definitely funny in multiple ways, even if it leaves a funny taste in your soul. Arguably it should. Some of Kate's mannerisms (especially in dude-with-a-soul-patch mode) I think indicate her promise in more theatrical roles, although like Miranda July her undying commitment to the absurd and beyond, may always keep her, and her pal Early, late to the party for success. Time will tell, for now this is a nice slice of stale celebrity cheesecake. Try to make it at least to the dance class... Honestly this made me appreciate "Cinnamon" even more, but both shows are a cut different and above most comedy imho.

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.

I think these 2 can both be funny, but this program was awful. I only made it for 40 minutes. Forty minutes of thinking, ok, surely this will get better. It didn't. A complete waste of time.

Better than expected. The structure and attempt to do this alone gets it a 7. Laughter with heart and characters that make you examine yourself gets it 1 more. The attention to detail .9. Loved it.

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.

Hilarious, highly-sophisticated genre-bending show in the mold of the British League of Gentlemen or Inside No.9. Ostensibly, the frame story is about a duo of actors of a an embarrassingly idiotic show which, after years of trying to destroy each other are reunited in a talk show, which provides them with the final opportunity to - well - destroy each other. Or perhaps to make amends. Or maybe something else is going on? There are enough clues to make you wonder what exactly are you watching, what's "real" and what the parody. What is the show and what is the show about the show. So yeah, amazingly witty and complex, and also goofy and slap-sticky. Brilliant.
