I like both of the comedians and really wanted to like this show, but the format doesn't really work. Most episodes are them just going around, doing fun and interesting things, and saying it's because they're doing local journalism.
I wasn't expecting a hard-hitting documentary about the decline in local journalism hosted by Nish and Josh, but I thought there would be at least a bit of focus on actual journalism. Instead, it's them going to vineyards, fancy restaurants, football matches, cool experiences, and 'reporting' on them. Then maybe a minute at the end of the episode of them rushing to meet their deadlines and word count.
Feels like it could have a better balance of Nish and Josh doing fun stuff, and coverage of the journalism aspect. By the second episode it also starts to feel too scripted.
