    I love comedy, but this show is straight up garbage. Absolutely cringe worthy uninspired trash. You couldn't pay me to watch this "show". Skip this mess. Just reading my "review" is more time than this "show" deserves.

    This series fails to impress and is quite frankly boring. Each episode lacks a concrete script or comedic talent. Each comedian somehow managed to create such a mess with a golden opportunity. If there was one episode that could have saved the entire series it would be the last episode- Dr Brown. The use of a single shot was the only thing impressive about this entire series.

    This is an extremely funny show but the latter half episodes are better than the first half which may lead to some viewers wavering. The highlight is Tim Robinson.

    This is a great watch for anyone who enjoys irreverent, off-the-wall comedy. 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. This can make things a little jarring as each installment is very different than the previous one. Not a lot of traditionalThis is a great watch for anyone who enjoys irreverent, off-the-wall comedy.

    The Characters is worth checking out too, because unlike Party Over Here, its comedic voice is immediately distinct. Every episode is devoted to the idiosyncrasies of its host.

    A concept with mixed but consistently interesting results.

    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.
