    This is an origin story, and like "Saturday Night Live" sketches blown up to big-screen size ("The Blues Brothers," "Wayne's World," "Superstar," et al.), it faces the challenge of shaping a funny idea into a semblance of life, and succeeds.

    Despite the more cartoonish elements, there are real consequences for actions in Haters, and rightly so. Still, while the discord is earned, the tonal shifts don’t always jibe. It’s not enough of a deviation to throw Haters Back Off! off the rails, though, so there’s no need to heed the warning when partaking of this new comedy.

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 »
