I really enjoyed this series, having watched all eight episodes in an afternoon. Rob Riggle has gathered together a bunch of his friends to tell an over the top story that each one of them keeps trying to top the silly of the voice before.
The downside (and why it isn't for everyone) is that not every joke is solid enough to support the leap to the next. Usually the pace is enough that those rare misteps don't throw the show off course. I can't say that every scene in every episode will cause outrageous laughter. I can say I laughed at most of them without reservation.
But if you are not prepared for a show that spoofs a different genre every episode and isn't afraid to have subplots about mermaids or AI constructs that don't ever get mentioned in the next episode.
It's fun, it's silly and it didn't care about being grounded in anything beyond the reality of the moment.
