    The Characters is weird without trying too hard to be weird. For as much careful attention to detail as there is, there’s a general ease to the series. The production value is high, but it never feels overproduced.

Think "Tim and Eric..." or "Comedy Bang Bang" rather than "The Big Bang Theory". It's quite obvious that each comedian was given a full amount of license in the creation of each episode.
