Zach Stone is Gonna Be Famous is one of the best shows of all time. Bo Burnham combines his skills of writing, acting, and musical ability in a perfect mesh of hilarity, but also thoughtful emotional resonance.
The cast is amazing, with stellar performances from all the characters. The chemistry that exists between these characters is unmatched in terms of comedy, and it will legitimately make you LAUGH OUT LOUD.
Not only that, but the show contains SO MANY amazing quick jokes and one-liners, which adds a crucial value of rewatchability. Bo delivers some of his best jokes in this show, and if you are a fan of his, there is no question you will love Zach Stone.
In addition to the great acting, comedy, and romance, the show is surprisingly ahead of its time in terms of tackling themes of social media, fame, and performative culture. When watching Zach Stone, it's actually scary how much Bo seems to predict about the culture that was just starting to unfold back in 2013, and has now come into full fruition 10 years later.
Moreover, the show is very unique in the way that it is shot, consistently breaking the fourth wall, and using its mockumentary format for extremely interesting stylistic choices, that adds to both the comedy, and the narrative itself. It really makes the show unique, and I am not exaggerating when I say that it is truly one of a kind.
It's actually so good that every time I finish a watch through I'm genuinely sad that it's over. But I am glad that it is just the one season, because it is a perfect season, and therefore a perfect show. There is not ONE EPISODE that feels unnecessary to the natural arc of the show, and every single episode is actual comedy gold.
I would be thrilled if Bo ever made another season, such as a 10 years later reunion, but honestly, this show doesn't NEED any more content. I don't mean this lightly when I say that Zach Stone Is Gonna Be Famous is a bonafide MASTERPIECE!
If you have not watched this show yet, do yourself a big favor and check it out on Netflix (or on the Internet Archive if you don't have a subscription ;)
