I’ve been watching it. It’s dark, edgy … kinda like me! I don’t see some of the content going over so well, though. It will be interesting to hear what others think, not that I care.
I’ve watched two episodes. It’s pretty funny. Raunchier than I expected, absurd, and all over the place, but that’s what makes it work.

Bamford is the shit.
I just binged seven episodes … I like that Wikipedia classifies it as “comedy surrealism.” I couldn’t agree more. ++Good. She wears a Duluth is a cool city T-shirt.
