    Starts off well enough with likeable characters and funny-ish jokes. Sadly, it soon descends into silliness bordering on idiocy: I got to the Sting episode and the writing was so bad I couldn't finish it. Why obviously talented actors agree to take part in something so subpar is beyond my understanding.

    I have mixed feelings about this. I love Steve Martin and Martin short. I have always thought they were great. I like the storyline, it’s entertaining good to see something a little different.. if I was rating on just those two, I would give it 10 plus but…

    Selena Gomez ruins the show for me.
    She cannot act!! She has zero emotion, complete blah personality, no change in her tone of voice or facial expressions. She almost looks plastic. Steve and Martin are so animated she brings the show down in my opinion. I wish they would’ve chosen another actress. I probably won’t continue watching it    … Expand

    I love selena gomez but her acting post wizards of Waverly place has been consistently horrible, rigid and bland. She fails to portray a character but instead just reads her lines. The mystery is awfully predictable and their dynamic doesn't intrest me in anyway.

    This ten-episode charmer, streaming on Hulu, is a fine sendup of media culture, in particular the true-crime genre. ... No deep feelings are stirred, yet the laughs come steadily, especially because of Short, a master at embodying the helpless narcissism of Broadway’s show-biz denizens.

    Fitfully amusing. ... Series cocreator Steve Martin is the most endearing as Charles. ... Martin Short has the most fun. ... Selena Gomez deadpans effectively but often deadens the pace of an overlong misadventure that might have made a snappier movie. [13 - 26 Sep 2021, p.17]

    Gomez gets a lot of good dialogue and nails it every time.
