    The series seems to want to exist somewhere between a Pee-wee Herman world, where Miranda exists within her own reality, and “Waiting for Guffman” or other parodies of self-important clueless people. It doesn’t succeed as either, nor on its own terms.

    None of the characters deepen as the show goes on. They're shallow vessels freighted down by contrived plot complications that include everything from unrequited love to kidney disease. And there's more than a bit of that vainglorious YouTubers' entitlement in where Haters ultimately ends up, the satire finally curdling into smugness.

Turns out there was no need to be worried, the season was great overall and every episode felt fresh, each being equally entertaining.

    Colleen, Chris and everyone else involved in the series have done an incredible job and I can't wait to see if we'll get a 2nd season.    … Full Review »

It works on youtube, sort of, when you don't know the shtick, but even then it's the same thing iterated endlessly.
    The characters never really find their footing or develop any discernible depth, and it becomes more of an exercise in cringe-endurance.    … Full Review »
