Champaign ILL

This show has great writing from the perspective of an aging millennial trying not lose edge and keep up with trends and pop culture. I identify with the protagonists' struggle to adjust to losing b list celeb entourage status and the jokes are so well-timed and delivered with buffoonish elegance. The final few eps are behind the paywall at Youtube premium at the time of writing this, but the free episodes were enough to nudge me into the free trial. I am also a big fan of Detroiters, Search Party, and lots of dark comedies. This show isn't too dark, but it has plenty of raunch and boundary pushing. I love it.

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.

This show is delightfully hilarious. Seems like it was lost in the subscription battle , being a YouTube exclusive. Never heard of it but loved the actors and their other work. Was very excited to find this. Amazing show, hilarious all around. Chemistry was great and a fantastic supporting cast. Hate it was so short lived. Definitely worth the watch!!!

Funny, good actors with a little bit of social commentary. The humour in this show cleverly undercuts moments that threaten to become too saccharine, but somehow still shows warmth between the characters. There's a few overused tropes, but there's something about the writing that stops it from feeling stale. I was genuinely disappointed to see there's not going to be a second season. Worth the watch.

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.
