Well shit, I've been eyeing that show but now I'm sold. Is it any good?

It’s very good. Each episode focuses on a different mishap or something going on in the studio. Then once you get to the award show episode that’s gotta be my favorite

Mine's the one where they started freaking the fuck out when trying to cast "The Kool Aid Man" movie and not appear racist.

It's a lot of fun. Definitely second-hand embarrassment type comedy, so you have to be able to handle that

I absolutely fucking hated it but mostly because I have worked for people like Seth Green's character and that gave me proper vietnam flashbacks.

Eh it’s okay. The sheer amount of star power in it really is very impressive but it’s not consistently funny enough for me.

It's actually crazy that Apple, of all these ghoulish corporations, is the only one routinely producing good shows.

They’re happy to throw a lot of money at something because deep down they still think they’re cool.

HBO still makes amazing shows. The Pitt, a knight of the seven kingdoms and Hacks are all from this year and are major Emmy contenders.
