Season 2 Review:
When this show is firing on all cylinders, it feels like finding a liminal space adjoining the cautionary absurdism of smart anthology series like Twilight Zone and the natural disjointed weirdness of public-access television (or else, Tim and Eric’s take on that). It feels unpredictable. It feels like one of the best sketch shows.

Season 2 Review:
The less I Think You Should Leave makes sense, the funnier it becomes, and fortunately, Robinson’s latest collection of craziness rarely flirts with reality or sanity, swerving about with reckless abandon in search of social setups it can surrealistically warp. Comedy of discomfort doesn’t come much more ridiculous, inspired, and meme-able than this.

Season 1 Review:
Robinson is a master of embarrassment. His sketches tend to focus on two types of characters: people who tell small lies that grow larger and more obvious as they refuse to come clean, and people who are too irrational, confused or stubborn to understand what’s happening--or refuse to understand because that would require admitting their own ignorance. This might sound like typical cringe comedy turf, but Robinson keeps it fresh by extending ideas behind all bounds of logic.

Season 3 Review:
Though the sketches occasionally feel like pale repeats of classics from seasons past, you still can’t beat that rollercoaster feeling of not knowing where a sketch will go, or what Robinson will do with his rubber-faced physicality and downright feral line delivery.

Season 1 Review:
The first season can be consumed in an hour and 40 minutes, making it a reasonable length for a feature film and an ideal timeframe for short-form comedy. “I Think You Should Leave” won’t be for everyone, but it’s going to be a few subscribers’ new favorite show--just as Ted Sarandos intended.

Season 3 Review:
Robinson’s cult hit goes off in all manner of unexpected and irrational directions. It may not redefine itself in its third go-round, but it still affords a hilarious and endlessly rewatchable vision of a country whose inhabitants are spinning out of control—or, as one of Robinson’s wackos states, “I see the world wildly and in wild ways.”

Season 1 Review:
In eight absurdist episodes, Robinson and a collection of guest performers (including Will Forte, Vanessa Bayer, Tim Heidecker, Sam Richardson, and many other very funny people) ruin parties, befoul bathrooms, disgrace funerals, post inappropriately on Instagram, and make their co-workers miserable. All of this lunacy is a delight unto itself, and the show mocks higher ambitions toward moral commentary.

Season 2 Review:
Consider this a tempered but supportive recommendation for something you probably know if you were going to watch anyway. If you haven’t seen it at all, I highly recommend the first season to start with, to see if it’s your type of comedy. For those who do like those first six episode, these next six are reliably absurd, but their ability to sink their claws into you is a bit more uncertain.

Season 3 Review:
This is not bad, and I’m glad it’s here. But it’s not the same, and maybe the price these guys have to pay for their talent is that when you make something so singular, there’s nothing to compare it to but itself. By those standards, this one feels like a miss…but seriously, ask me again in a month.
