It's a show about sci-fi actors, makers, movies, series and fandom.
Alan Tudyk is a genius, I had so much fun with this show. I could feel love oozing from every episode, the amount of cameos is insane.
It's short, 10m per episode, watch it. Even if you won't like it you'll lose 30 minutes tops.
P. S I have never given anything 10/10.

It seemed like Con Man took a couple of episodes to find its tone, but once it did I began loving it. Yes, it makes fun of people attending cons, as a previous reviewer noted. It makes fun of people who work at cons. It makes fun of people who book cons. It makes fun of people who act in shows whose fans attend cons. In other words, everybody in this show is a little bit clueless and/or venal and/or crazy - and yet they're all likable and familiar. This isn't Great Art, but it's a hoot - and playing spot-the-SF-star is half the fun. (I had to look up "Dale," the elderly "lady stuntman," who turned out to be a Romulan commander from the original Star Trek. Like that.)
I got to see this Crowd Funded show with a few friends and had seen the title before but did not realize who was in the show. For all fans of MMORPG, SciFi, CosPlay, and all the "CONS", it is a MUST SEE! Even if you only get into it 10%, this show holds you rapt around the stigma and dogma of SciFi and its trappings. With all the ups and downs that the actors, shows, and productions have to live and deal with, this follows what happens when one of the stars, who played the lead pilot in their now canceled show, goes around to the different "Cons" speaking about the show; and what happens to him and his agent. Starring the cast of Firefly / Serenity, this had me waiting to see what was going to happen next. There are many guest appearances and cameos throughout the show that it is hard to keep up with them, but do keep up.
Comedy about scify and the movie cons . Has bin actors who are pigeon holed in scify and the loss of opportunities in Hollywood. Thesesxarecfun witty hilarious short skits but all woven together by spoofing on firefly and serenity. Alan tudyk is a genius. The writing is smart ahumorous satire. Tudykwritescand directs some of the cast from Firefly. This tongue and cheek about movies, agents, and the dark side of the acting business gets increasingly rich from one skit to another. Scify is branded as a lesser genre and Tudyk elevates it with his humor. The cast and visiting actors keep it fun and lively.
I don't understand this show. It's both really good and REALLY bad.
There are really REALLY funny laugh out loud moments, Tudyk is brilliant. I almost never laugh out loud normally.
The rest is filled by soo many GARBAGE "jokes" that to on FOREVER. Crude, wholly unfunny, uninspired and totally unoriginal lame toilet humor that absolutely pollutes the show to a level that makes it unwatchable. It's obviously not written by Tudyk. It's basically the Bobby show, a horribly crude, ugly and unfunny actress that gets the absurd amounts of screen time and plot.
Seems like in order to get the show made they had to make a heavily compromising deal with devils, and you know how those go. They should have passed.
Before this I would have said that I'd watch anything with the Firefly cast. I can't say that anymore.
