About
You may enjoy this if you like sketch shows with an offbeat, idea-driven style, somewhere between Portlandia and Key and Peele; Not for you if repetitive or deliberately odd humor tends to wear on you.
Pros: inventive theme-based format; clever offbeat humor; fresh, creative energy | Cons: repetitive at times; very uneven laughs; too weird for some
