What Would Diplo Do?

A really funny kinda different style of mockumentary. James Van der Beek and cast are ace. A really easy watch, with tonnes of good one liners.

Is that there's only one season!! Would love to see more behind the scenes stuff; would love to see Diplo actually talk about anything as far as references or did it just spring fully written from James Van DER Beek's cranium.

Diplo (James Van Der Beek) is an international electronic DJ superstar. He is self-obsessed and an unaware diva. His assistant Karen has to cater to his every whim. Jasper is his idiot school friend and hanger on posse. Brian (Bobby Lee) is his manager. Kröner is his stat-obsessed tech. Jamar is his ball-busting best friend.

Everybody is trying to do original material for the streaming world. This is probably Viceland dipping its toe in the water. It's low budget, high concept. Van Der Beek has done the deadpan realistic idiot character before. It's modeled after someone like Calvin Harris. Here's the deal. There isn't much in terms of writing. It is like a concept being produced for each episode and let the inmates run wild. There may be a laugh a show. This is somebody trying something and having fun with it. There are worst things in the world.

I hope this is James Van Der Beek's major breakthrough! A clever critique about the music scene and the pop stars that end up surrounded by "lapdogs" that only ignite narcissistic personalities. A series about a current theme that doesn't (YET) resort to the use of obscene language and does not rely on the stereotypes associated with the music industry like showing naked women to illustrate their point of view to tell the story. I hope it doesn't get canceled or underrated like other equally good shows. A candid way to create entertainment. Highly Recommended!

Jury's out on this as I'm watching ep 2. Super original and weird. Looks nice, photo and cast wise. Funny at times . I like. Leaning towards 7 stars, But understand the very low reviews too. Reviewer mykle ykle writes " Severely dumb. Like a Disney sitcom for dumb adults" Biggest laugh I had all day . Well done.thanks.
