This is one of the best shows on TV. Very clever writing and directing, along with first rate delivery from the ensemble cast make every scene top notch. I can only assume that the bad reviews are from people for whom the script and the premise went over their heads. I would compare it with some of the best scripted TV comedy shows such as Arrested Development. It's endlessly inventive and observant. I watched the whole thing and wished for more, then along came the Christmas specials. The first one is immediately awesome as the rock enters, dressed as Tiny Tim from Dickens' A Christmas Carol. He's limping with the aid of a crutch that resembles an assault rifle. "Who are you"? The kids ask. "Big Tim" he answers.
Later, he recalls a brawl in a Santa grotto in a mall where an elf is beaten with a giant candy cane. He likens the tale to a similar, real-life candy cane beating at the Mercedes Megadrome and justifies it by saying: "write what you know".
It is just brilliant. Get it watched!
