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.

We are about halfway through the web series, it doesn't feel any different with the exception of the first ep, which seems to be shot on low-grade digital equipment.
¨Grandpa¨ is a masterpiece, but i wont be seeing it again. God.

And the last one was great, i loved the bit about the instagram girl.

The web series (with intros) was better than the first season, but the second season seems to right the ship. I really like this show and all the interconnections across characters and plots.

If they’re not still on HBO NOW, they’re worth seeking out. They definitely have the feel of one long collection of short stories in a shared universe and the brevity of them really help land each arc’s punch line effectively.
