C*A*U*G*H*T

This series isn't for everyone. It's crude, silly, childish and at times pretty disgusting. The writing is hectic and the plot is at times, so random that sometimes I wasn't sure what was going on.

However, it's the first time I've laughed out loud at a show in ages. And I ended up watching all of the episodes.

The casting is spot on and there's some good cameos (Susan Sarandon, Silvia Colloca, and Travis Fimmell is unrecognisable).

If you're looking for subtle, witty, understated humour, look elsewhere. If you're ok watching something stupid funny, (think Will Ferrell or an early Adam Sandler movie) press play.

I was really looking forward to this show based on the trailer, but wow, was that trailer misleading.

We barely made it to episode 4 (mind you, this was against the will of the majority of our household who wanted us to stop at the end of ep 2) but we had to switch it off at that point. The acting was just awful throughout, genuinely really hard to watch and some of the scenes were incredibly tone deaf. The attempted humour missed the mark on nearly every occasion.

Overall it was just pretty poor and not entertaining at all. The cameos were weird & didn't add anything except make me wonder how they got roped into it.

I wouldn't even normally bother with a review for something I didn't like, but this was so annoyingly bad I was still resentful of the time I wasted watching it hours later so yeah, that's how this review came about.

If you are expecting anything serious lower your expectations and chill out a little, it's not Schindler's list.

On the silly side and with fun cultural jokes.

The later episodes have some good meta humour which made me laugh out loud.

Maybe sided towards the Australian sense of humour.

Some say it's dated humour but hey if you just enjoy it for what It is you will have fun.

They did well with the hyperbole differences between Americans and Australians, poking fun at both.

There seems to be a little bit of a message of the over celebrated hero distracting from the greater cause, maybe lost in the silliness but still noticeable.

Overall I enjoyed the experience and worth a watch if you ain't the comedy police.

Between Karl having his fat head in the shots and poor Sean Penn (how did they manage to sell this 💩 to him to be in appearance) comedy show that wasn't even funny in the first 10 minutes let alone entirety of the program- with poor acting and writing why on earth is Australia and Stan promoting this garbage.

Low IQ humour that's outdated and only a bogan would still find funny, with cringe acting with a poor script and forced humour is the go to now it seems for streaming services and their promoted shows,this is an embarrassment and not funny at all but again it's rare to find decent content in streaming services nowadays.

This series is so bad, one wonders if its purpose transcends conventional expectations. Could it be a deliberate endeavour to craft the epitome of rubbish television in the streaming era? Potentially this stellar cast, in this fanciful scenario, willingly embraces the challenge under the persuasive guidance of a showrunner who pitches the joyous creation of intentional terrible TV. An inside industry joke, perhaps, where the allure lies in deviating from the pursuit of excellence and relishing the unique thrill of producing a fantastically terrible piece of television. In this whimsical pursuit, the cast, with their remarkable talents, breathes life into intentionally absurd narratives, blurring the lines between satire and sincerity. If this were indeed a clandestine effort to redefine the boundaries of televised storytelling, then kudos to all involved for navigating this uncharted territory with audacious rubbish.
