About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a smart, sometimes cringe-inducing Hollywood satire with a continuing story and bold humor; Not for you if you dislike awkward comedy, sexual jokes, or slower starts like some found early on.
Pros: sharp Hollywood satire; big laughs; strong ensemble | Cons: slow early episodes; later seasons feel safer; lots of sexual humor
