This show had such promise; promise to be a great stupid comedy, the first great stupid comedy. At first, it was working well. The Eric Jonrosh intros/outros were on the beat and the over the top funny or die style humor of the acting and plot points were eliciting real laughs.
However, the ridiculousness of the frame story (not the Jonrosh bookends, but the Devon Morehouse framing) and overemphasized jokes soon wear on the nerves. By episode 3 I was no longer laughing. I stuck it out through all 6 episodes in the hope that it would improve, but beyond a chuckle here and there at jokes that somehow managed to be funny it never really did.
The funny or die format may work for 3 minute shorts, but extended out into a 3 hour miniseries it becomes tedious.
