Not a single joke lands. The acting is either ridiculous and over the top or badly delivered and uninterested. The writing is clunky as hell, and this might be the most narsacistic main character in anything for a while. Everything about it is subpar, the surreal bits are very uninspired and add nothing. I think it's great to see more gay characters on TV, but surely of all the gay artists out there the pool of talent is much greater than this shallow nonsense.
