    One episode was enough, I simply couldn't take any more of it.

    Yes, a show can be rude, vulgar, silly and totally gross. But if it's supposed to be a comedy, it has to be funny! It's full of lame, boring, unfunny characters no one gives a crap about! Poor Jake Johnson. Maybe he saw the finished show and hoped it wouldn't be released, but no such luck! The most obvious question is:    One episode was enough, I simply couldn't take any more of it.

    The most obvious question is: Who greenlit this?
    But I cannot help but to think that now, because of the current situation, they're throwing things at us that had been previously shelved, for good reasons (unfunny!), but now they're running out of shows and we get to watch what's left in the 'vault'.

    Did I say it's totally unfunny? Maybe. But to be sure:
    TOTALLY UNFUNNY CRAP!    … Expand

    This is supposed to be a comedy, made by people that have no idea what it is, or how to accomplish it.

    Transhflix really needs to stop automatically green lighting everything that is presented to them.

    I've got no issues if a show is vulgar, or disgusting, or rude, that's why I love South Park, that show is amazing.

    I do have a a problem with a show when its vulgar, and disgusting, and rude, and its boring and unfunny beyond human comprehension. This is awful, like truly awful. Between this and Cursed, Netflix have released some complete rubbish this year.

    It wants to be, or even thinks it actually is funny, but rest assured it definitely is not.

    “Hoops” is animated because no network would greenlight a show about an asshole like Ben Hopkins if it were live-action. That may be just barely enough for the most loyal Jake Johnson fans. Everyone else should find another game, cartoon, or literally anything else to watch.

    Hoffman is happy creating a world where Ben can get away with stuff like this without learning his lesson or offering any applicable commentary. There’s no satire here, or anything beyond the surface-level ugliness. That’s not to say there aren’t other characters, but none are fleshed out enough to stand out. ... The profane repetition is only numbing. Hitting the horse harder doesn’t make you laugh at the abuser. It just makes you feel sorry for the horse.

    It’s easy to dismiss Hoops as just curse-filled and crass. But the cast is great, and you start to root for Coach Hopkins and his team by the end of the first episode. It isn’t always funny, but it’s just funny enough and has enough heart to be a decent show.
