I struggle with cringe humour but want to like this show
Haven’t watched this yet but I hear it’s in my Q zone so I plan to.
The show is unhinged
I’m having trouble with this show. It’s a weird mix of cringe humor (which I generally enjoy), but also some serious dramatic/family/psychological issues. One problem is I feel like the cringe stuff downplays the seriousness of the family/personal issues.

Then of course there’s the bizarre conspiracy plot which is incredibly slow moving. I can’t tell yet if it’s a genuine conspiracy or if the point is this guy gets too obsessive about things and needs to learn to let stuff go and enjoy his family. Will see where it goes, just feels a bit confusing in the middle.
Couldn’t even make it through the 1st episode. I got about half way before I decided it wasn’t for me, just too much second-hand embarrassment.
Same. I think I made it halfway through the first episode but as he continued to spiral it was just so deeply uncomfortable to watch. Does it get better? Is there a big payoff?
My cutoff point was when he started screaming at the old guy for blowing bubbles.
the discomfort is the point and the humor. your supposed to laugh at the discomfort and familiarity of it.
it’s an excellent take on why people fall into conspiracy theories to give their life purpose and meaning as a way to excuse themselves from the embarrassment they feel at their ‘failure’ of a life.
yeah my wife was the same.
that’s why it’s so funny and great.
Cool. It’s really unique and interesting show. Tim Robinson seems to really nail this type of character. I was not familiar with his earlier work but I am curious to check it out now.
It feels like it’s a spin off of all the themes in Friendship, but even more dark.
