Just to start out i do have a bias for Mulaney, he is one of the first 'awkward styled' comedians i have laughed at and i continue to love his work. The show Mulaney is defiantly improved if you know what you are going in for. It's not trying to be the next 'big bang theory' or trying to replace 'How I met your mother' spot and it knows that. Its writing is about 50% of just Mulaneys stand up being acted out, so as one would assume- it was not initially make to be told in this format. BUT THIS IS NOT NECESSARILY BAD! Every episode (So far) i enjoyed and have not been disappointed in the slightest at its knack of making the mundane life of a simple comedian into a great way to spend a Sunday evening.
Though I'm unsure if this show will make it past its first season due to its lack of support from the general viewership. I tend think the main demographic for this show really lies with the comedy nerds in full honesty. There's a lot of jokes poking fun at how individual comedians end up poor unsuccessful and remain the shadows of others, while people who sell out to things they don't believe in (a example of this is the game show that makes no sense to even the people running it) end up with literal cannon filled loads of money, but on the inside they tent to become hollow and very phony characters whom have a tunnel vision making them unable to see anything other than what there success has brought them.
All in all I think this might have won the most underrated show of the year for me and even though i really am doubting it will make it past season one- who knows, maybe the empty wheel chair in the middle of the street was a miracle.
