If you enjoyed the first season you’ll love this second one, and just as with those first six episodes, these have tremendous rewatchability and many grow even funnier the more you watch them.
-
Ever wondered what would happen if people behaved in real-world interactions like they do online? I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson isn’t just a very funny TV show, it’s a cautionary vision of society’s near future.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Blisteringly funny. But it’s more than that. ... The new season is as bizarrely funny as the first, but it can also shade bittersweet, even poignant. Over and over, the sketches find a twisted path to pathos.
-
Every I Think You Should Leave sketch goes only as long as it needs to, with no filler. The jokes are quick and don’t pull punches, allowing things to escalate in the most dramatic ways possible.
-
"I Think You Should Leave" is eccentric, hysterical and hilarious. The stranger it gets, the more it feels at home.
-
Tim Robinson’s new series of psychotic vignettes are just as funny (if not more so, on occasion) as his first season, and that’s largely thanks to some genuinely unhinged writing and an amazing group of guest stars.
-
The critics and the cognoscenti will love this new series as much as they did the last. But don’t let that dissuade you. Robinson is a comic one-off.
-
There are a few sketches that don’t quite land, and others that I thought went on for several minutes too long. But the best are indelibly funny. ... Not quite satire. Not quite whimsy. Something weirdly, maniacally new.
-
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.

Jul 9, 2021I still can't stop laughing at the Coffin Flop sketch. Some sketches hit much harder than others but overall this was very funny.
