I know episode 5 is the big crazy highlight but this new one may have been my favorite episode so far.

She's got the purest heart I've ever seen in this whole world!

[VinylGuy]

The season finale was bonkers

[Jorge]

Still one more episode to go

[Strat]

Still one more episode to go

This surprised me but I'm so happy we get one more.

That really felt like the finale even the way they rolled the credits. Felt like a perfect weird and awkward ending for the show.

No clue how this ends now....

[VinylGuy]

One more? cool!

[Farmer John]

It's also already renewed for Season 2.

Still need to watch the latest episode. Hopefully tonight, if all goes according to plan.

I think that if you don’t find those first two episodes funny, you probably won’t find the rest funny either. The humor doesn’t really change throughout, just intensifies.

Yea, well its a very particular style of comedy. I fucking love it. I think he's brilliant. But yea you wont like it then.....

[Jorge]

I'm not especially fond of Tim Robinson's sketch comedy but something about how it's applied to long-form narrative makes this much more enjoyable, compelling, and -- yes -- funny, than I Think You Should Leave. It took me a couple episodes to really latch on to what the show was doing. It also helps that the show has a lot more going for it than just the comedy

[Mecca]

There’s no real punchlines and that puts some people off. So much of it is based on a phrase or a character being adjacent to normal. Like a guy running away undoing the buttons on his shirt so his pursuer only grabs his shirt off his back as if it’s what someone does when being chased. Then of course there’s the stuff that’s just shouting. Somehow it works for me.

[Simple Torture]

The real special sauce for this show is the casting. Where the hell do they find these actors? The guy who uncovered the short-sleeve-to-long-sleeve resold shirt was amazing. He gets thrown in a scene with the shirt salesman who was a highlight of a previous episode. There are like 3-4 of these roles per episode.
