The show carefully calibrates shtick and insight. “Tell the story a certain way,” Zoë says to Danner, solemnly, “and any one of us could’ve done this. But tell the story in a different way, and none of us did this.” Lines like that—blatant exposition, not of plot but of premise—could easily wear thin. But just as the show starts to seem overly enamored of its conceit, it remembers its own genre: comedy.

Musical and animated gags are particularly well-executed, with canny lighting cues and hair, makeup and costume variations throughout. In both subtle and outrageous ways, “The Afterparty” is an enjoyable act of doing the same thing over as differently as possible — as best as you can get away with it.

Although its commitment is admirable, the stylish execution is let down by the gags just not being quite as funny as they should be, especially with a cast this stellar. It might well be that the series is best viewed as a whole with all the careful machinations exposed but so far, the jokes don’t stack up to the clever conceit.

A triumphant return to live action from Lord & Miller after extensive work in animation. Rewrites the book on how to direct, write and produce tv. The first time a tv show actually felt like a movie for me.

A show that starts with so much promise, but by it's conclusion has turned into a rather dull and unfunny affair. Could of been so much better.

One of those shows that spends all its energy on being hilariously funny every single moment, it comes off trying way too hard while forgetting to have an engaging story or characters to care about.
