Loved Marshawn. Best one so far.

This show is hilarious and looks cheap to make. Hope it lasts a while

Watched the first episode. Kind of funny, but gotta say I'm insanely bummed out they didn't fit in "The Final Countdown", I mean hell it had nothing but magic in it.

I got around to watching 1st 4 episodes last night. I have laughed a good bit. The Kumail Nanjiani episode really had me laughing with the walk and noise. The Conan and Diane Fienstein was great too.

Will Arnett voice gets me everytime too.

I've watched a couple of episodes. I suck at solving the crimes. It's so obvious after they explain it.

What threw me is that Ken Jeong, a dude who cut his teeth as an improv actor, was the worst one.

His improv was terrible.

I've watched the first three, and enjoyed it way more than I thought I would.

Conan clearly had the best improv chops, but Marshawn was way better than expected. He seemed legitimately bummed that he didn't solve the crime too, even though I thought it was the easiest.

Kumail was good too, he even had Will Arnett struggling to keep it together a few times.

I thought it was awful. Couldn't even make it through the entire first episode.

You should give it another shot, it took a bit to really round into form for me because it's so over the top from the scripted actors. I definitely didn't enjoy it from scene 1.

You have to go into with the mindset that it's a celebrity reality show and not a crime comedy/drama.

Do that, and you'll enjoy it.

I was expecting his episode to be one of the best. What a letdown. His and Annie's were the worst.

Conan, Marshawn, and Kumail were all good.

Fun show to watch and try to solve the murder from the clues. Arnett was great.

I watched the first two. I thought that Conan one was pretty damn funny, the Lynch one was kinda meh.

I agree, but at the same time this feels like one of those shows that would get much better in a second season, after future guest stars have actually watched the premise.

Keeping in mind that they probably had no idea what was happening at the time (without a frame of reference to what they should be doing), there will probably be some more over-the-top performances now that they know what is expected.

BTW, I was similarly surprised that Marshawn Lynch was maybe the best. He seemed to "get it" more than the other actors.

Not sure why, but I had to get up and leave the room when his episode came on.

Watched the first 2 episodes this past weekend. Loved it. Conan O'Brien in the first was a good start and as expected he slipped pretty easily into the improv.

Marshawn Lynch in ep 2 though was a surprise. And holy shite the scene where Arnett's character gives him his alias... I had to pause for a minute b/c I was laughing so hard.

Damn, I was hoping the bump meant new episodes were out. I can't find anything on if they are making S2 or not.

Same. You'd think if they wanted it could be the kind of show they could drop batches of 4 or 5 episodes a couple times a year. Presumably relatively cheap to make.
