    Had some time last night to catch up on new shows so tried out the pilot for this one. Very Seinfeld-esque in form I thought. By that I mean bit of standup at the start from Mulaney, the show with a bunch of wacky friends and then a bit of standup at the end.

    Very unsure about this show. It felt for the first 10 minutes like I was sitting through a re-enactment of a comedy sketch "And what's the story with Doctor's offices? I mean, you want Xanax but you can't just ask for it, you gotta fake something else first...".

    I didn't really laugh. The pot dealer guy was annoying. I was surprised to see "A Lorne Michaels Production" at the end given how good 30 Rock was (for a time anyway). I don't think this will ever reach that level of entertainment. OK, so Irish humor is quite different from US standup so I accept I'm probably not the target audience but I don't see this lasting. I might be wrong. It comes across as just a bit contrived. Will give it a few more episodes to see if it settles down.

    It's complete crap, got a horrible rating, and will be cancelled. The end.
