Champaign ILL

Champaign ILL could use some of those Netflix fake reviews, judging by the low score (sub 7 at the time of writing, with a meagre 500 reviews), but other than it's low visibility and completely undeserved lack of views, it is difficult to see what could improve this underrated gem of a show.

As far as buddy comedies go, Adam Pally and Sam Richardson share an outstanding chemistry coupled with excellent timing. The two actors feed off each other, and the script is a mile a minute, neither missing a beat. Their characters are well layered with clearly defined arcs, complex and flawed, but always likeable, or at least always redeemable.

One of the best shows I've seen all year.

It's funny. It's over the top. It's about two 18 year olds who were just about to start their adult lives and then tagged along as their friend hit it big in the celebrity world. And 15 years later, it's over and they're back in Champaign, Ill. living with their parents and not fitting in. And grieving. Each episode is so well written. It really pulls you in. At first, it's just funny and shocking. Then, little by little, we get to know these nincompoops as more complex human characters and the series has its heart. By Episode 7 "8.1 Milligrams Per Deciliter," the pinnacle of the series, you will be satiated, in that way that we feel after being entertained just right. That episode shows off the writing, editing and acting so well. (The music is divine.) I wish this show was on Netflix so everyone would watch it and make these actors and writers super-celebs. But, on YouTube it's like my secret Precious and I will enjoy its delights.

Actors are funny- I grew up in the town the show is about- so far into episode 3 I have yet to see any places in the actual city. Would've been nice- on to the next episode.

Only two episodes in, and I love the premise. I can watch anything with Sam Richardson, possibly the funniest character on Veep. I also think Keith David is a master comedy actor and have difficulty when he plays dramatic roles because I want to laugh even when he is serious. Never even heard of this show until it popped up on Hulu. Definitely better than most streaming comedies.

Adam Pally delivers everything I've been missing since Happy Endings. The premise is unique and allows for hilarious storylines, and the writing is top notch. This is one of three shows I've told people is a "watch immediately" category. I can't believe the show didn't get more advertising or hype. I had to dig to find this. I hope this show makes its way to an audience.
