The Mick.

Hilarious. I get that it's basically Dee in a different show. But guys... it's Dee in a different show! The whole drunken montage in the mansion in the pilot episode (especially how it ends) might be one of the funniest things I remember seeing on network TV in the past decade.

Probably the best comedy on TV
This week's episode was just ok. The girl playing Lucy is beautiful, and I could watch her all day. But the episode just wasn't very funny. Why is Eric Andre getting way less screen time this season?
That show isn't very good

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Have you watched many episodes? It's one of those shows where a bad one can leave you underwhelmed, but a good one can renew your faith in episodic television.
I think I watched the first two episodes. A self-aware, meta, deconstructionist, absurdist show about a shy, bland, sadsack dude who can't find a girlfriend is still, ultimately, a show about a shy, bland, sadsack dude who can't find a girlfriend. No thanks.

I'm not enjoying the Warwick Davis episodes of An Idiot Abroad nearly as much as the solo Pilkington ones.

Guys, The Mick is cracking my shit up. I haven't seen anything this "edgy" on network TV in a long time. There's some real fucked up shit on that show and it's glorious.

That's okay. She probably doesn't get you either. Forget about her, Len.
