An interesting genre experiment, but this really feels like therapy dressed up with the minimal elements of comedy. Painfully neurotic, and perhaps my problem is it's all too painfully close to home. It's a slow motion mid-life crisis mental breakdown, and is much more depressing than funny. The musical neurotic love duet starting 80% of the way through episode three should have started in episode one. I should be core target demographic for this. You've almost lost me after three episodes.

Faded/fading stars, newbies just out of school, a plot which makes little sense, clichés tired and banal, dialogue which adds insult to injury, performances which range from good jokes to bad, to just tired as well. You hope everyone was stoned and having fun enough to actually laugh at the mess they're making which at least aspires on occasion to camp, however hard it falls on its face. Dreck, grade D product with grade B- production values. Only the dregs of basic cable could pass this off as a way to kill a couple of late-night hours, which might work as you also do your toenails (and/or beat weed), listen to music, and chat online.
