I'm not sure if I just don't understand the subject or what the show was trying to accomplish. I was in high school in the early/mid 90s and very little of the material in the show resonates with me.
I suppose there's the odd laugh, but it appears to be a show written entirely as an in-joke and I'm afraid I'm missing almost all of it. The jokes that were accessible, like the bookstore, were funny for the first minute or two but after several long drawn out minutes of the same material I was just eager for the scene to end - meager laughs were simply replaced with despair.
I've never actually seen or experienced an adult hide and go seek league, have you? Let alone something as obviously over the top and ridiculous as the one portrayed in this show. Does anything like that even exist? Outside of the fake social pages set up as (maybe) marketing for this show? It's just so 'out there' that it loses any of its potential humour. If it had stuck to poking fun at the ludicrous reality that *does* exist, it could have been brilliant.
Then there's the scene where they go to see the location of where their chicken (I think, right?) was farmed. I understand that there are those who are interested in knowing the origins of their meal, and this bit could have been very well done if it ended in the restaurant. The show just takes it to a painful degree where the laughs have dried up and it's just simply sad and unfunny in the end. I was just wishing they would wrap up and move along.
To sum up, I'm really not sure how this got a 7.8 rating - but I can guess: It's a collection of scenes strung together, desperately attempting to make a funny, they fail so miserably that your just feel bad for the actors and creators that you want to give it a higher rating in the hopes that it will redeem yourself for taking the time to actually watch it.
Maybe next time you will be carrying exact change so you can get out of the bookstore that much faster and won't get locked in.
Awful joke right? I know.
