Only about 40 reviews so far. Much less than I expected.
First of all, I like Zach G. I think he's very underrated as a comedian. His qualities are best put to use when playing weird people who turn out to be funny one way or the other. I'd like to point out his supporting role in a little show called Bored To Death, which was pure genius. He is definitely a comedian for the millennial generation. I think that describes it well.
In this, he's playing a guy that went to clown college in France to, of course, become a clown and bring joy into people's lives (and into his own). Very quickly the viewer realizes that he's a natural. The supporting cast is rather unknown, which gives the show even more charm.
It wasn't after the first season was almost over, that I realized Baskets' mom was actually played by a dude. A rather unknown comedian in Europe, Louie Anderson, is doing a terrific job. The role is dedicated to his late mother.
The one thing that actually really bugged me at first about this show, was the fact that Chip Baskets has an *evil* twin brother, who's also played by Zach G., but after a while it fits, because it's part of character development. This show is definitely weird, to say the least. Nevertheless, it's very endearing at times. Don't be fooled into thinking this is a straight comedy show, because it isn't. I'd describe it as a clown's late coming-of-age story. 6.9/10
