Loved it. And it's done in such a clever way. For those giving it ones etc etc. Wish you'd just be clever enough to know what your about to watch from the trailer. Or just don't keep watching then moan about it with a one star after watching the entire season. How thick is that.
This show, I thought was brilliant. There's nothing better than a bit of improvisation when it comes to comedy.
I was wondering if I could find this funny, turns out, I found it hilarious. Knowing that the celebrities had no clue what to say, and even the impromptu giggling at a gag, was comical.
But...... the show would have been even better, had they picked the right celebrities for the job. If you're coming in to a show like this, you HAVE to commit! Too many times Will Arnett was spoon feeding them lines, things to do and say.
Sharon Stone was probably the only one that earned it, she was excellent. I was really looking forward to Ken Jeong, but he was a massive disappointment, laughed at everything and gave nothing back.
I really hope they make another series, but, the team selection is paramount to this shows success.
I know they're big names, but Will Ferrell, Ryan Reynolds, Mark Walhberg, Jim Carrey, to name a few that would eat this show up!
Get players of the same ilk and this show will thrive!

This show is sooo stupid, it comes up hilarious! Laughed out loud over & over. Marshawn was excellent!! Spitting my wine out my mouth!! Will Armett is fabulous.
Comparisons to the British original are unavoidable. This US Netflix remake of 'Murder in Successville' jettisons the surreal film-noir feel and celebrity impressions from the supporting cast and opts for a more straight-up spoof of police dramas. The chaotic humour feels the same, though, and it's still very funny. Like the US version of 'The Office', it manages to be different from the original yet still be something equally as valid. My only complaint is that the guest stars in the US version, who have to improvise without a script, all come from comedy or acting backgrounds, so they improvise well and there's very little corpsing. Part of the fun of the original was seeing celebrities without any acting skills out of their depth and struggling not to laugh. But with no more series of the original in production, I'm happy to have both exist.
Arnett is great but the celebrities could have done better job. I was so excited to see Conan doing this, knowing he has huge improv background and 30 years of comedy behind him but he was a little dull and the others are mostly worse. The writers didn't also come up with much ideas and lots of the stuff done be celebrities repeats. I haven't seen the british version but probably will now.
