This show is meta, whatever the f*ck that means. But for real, this show is a big, fun middle finger metaphor to Hollywood TV script conventions. Lot of sh*t gets bleeped out, like a lot. But that's what adds to the charm of the show. The actors go to hard-boiled acting levels, something you see on the big screen, not the small screen, let alone a comedy. Nothing is held back. It's genius.
******SPOILER****** Do you need to be a genius to enjoy this show? No, but a decent IMDb IQ- knowing your Shawshank and what roles some actors are known for- is required. Cuba gives his "show me the money" all to drugs, Jason Alexander picks up where he left off in Pretty Woman, some play against type while others epitomize their roles. The casting is pitch perfect.
And boy oh boy this show is dressed up like a seriously beautiful movie production but with garishly funny details added to it. ENJOY!
SIDE NOTE: Watch @midnight starring the Dolfe family. Makes you wonder how much is improv because Lenny Jacobson and Stephen Tobolowsky are golden.
