    Did the world need an inside look at the life of Rob Schnieder? No, it did not. But that's what we get with "Real Rob," a new half hour series from Netflix.

    Oh my God. This is so bad, I'm just shocked, and I love Rob Schneider. It's just junk from other shows that's kind of throw together, nothing makes sense, nobody has any motivation, there's no story in any episode. You never care about any character because they're so one dimensional and there's no effort into developing them. Directing sucks, acting is bad...real bad, writing is horribleOh my God.

Directing sucks, acting is bad...real bad, writing is horrible and on a technical note, editor is the worst I've seen in years. The lighting is okay but not good enough for what the show is trying to be.

    I wish I hadn't wasted my time, but like I said, I love Rob, he's a cool funny guy, this show is not... Oh...maybe that's what it is, that's the real Rob.    … Expand

    Did we need another show about the life of a comedian complete with standup cut aways? No.
    Did we need ne about rob Schnieder? Hell no.
    Did we need one where he casts his actual family to play his family? Jesus christ no!! What wife plays herself and comes off more cüñťy than an actress told to play it that way? What a horrible woman. Rob seems unlikeable, out of touch and entitled.    Did we need another show about the life of a comedian complete with standup cut aways? No.

Dude, you are a D List actor who wouldn't have work if it wasn't for Adam Sandler. And I am not sure why anyone would want to be attached to him anymore either. I watched Season 1 to give it a fair go and I will never get that time back. AVOID!    … Expand

    Real Rob has elements of “Louie” and “Curb Your Enthusiasm’s” heightened reality, but the only thing that sets it apart from its predecessors is that it’s not very good. Unfunny scenes are broken up with equally unfunny stand-up.

    Ultimately, though, Real Rob’s undoing is in the doing too much. Schneider’s mixing too many elements from too many shows, so he’s unable to update them in any way. And because the cast is so small, Schneider ends up spreading himself too thin.

    The show features narrative moments, snippets of his stand-up, and talking-head interview segments that would feel more at home in a mockumentary (think The Office or Parks and Recreation), all coming together into a hodgepodge that makes no sense.
