Watched it all and it just didn't quite click for me ever. I don't think it ever quite captured the manic energy the format really required. It was like watching the movie clue with only one ending, but the reveals at the end are tepid and reserved.

Will Arnette's character is great, but the rest of the show around him was played too straight for a comedy. When the guests match his energy it works well, but the improv nature made that inconsistent at best. Especially because the guests were often just playing themselves with a reality tv feel to it, which never quite clicks.

I enjoyed it, but I rarely found myself laughing or fully engaged. I think there's sort of an uncanny valley effect between Arnette's comedy, the world being played straight, and the reality tv vibe of the guests that leads to never settling in. In short it has a tone problem, and I think the format is more to blame for that than anything.
