While I see how you could say that, no.

I was hoping that we'd get a character as over the top as his role on Wet Hot, and I guess the southern comedian was close. This kid really dives into his characters. Damn!

Not to mention being a single take!

One issue I have with all the episodes is how drawn out many scenes feel. Times it's for the effect of absurdity, which is problematic when that's the same effect every episode attempts with it. The wrong type of consistency.

It's a funny episode, but I don't think it should have been the one to lead off the series.

Agreed on Cole Escola. Hell, he made a bigger impact in that episode than he did in all of Difficult People's first season.

I worked a premiere event for this show in Hollywood a week ago. Just need to say that Lauren Lapkus is so so so nice. And Paul Downs is so so so short.

The entire stripper sequence with Bamanda was amazing. The attention to detail on that segment was A+.

That doesn't seem to rectify what people seem to have an issue with, which is the "loud black woman" stereotype regardless of profession.

So people will only be happy if Leslie Jones would have played a mousy and subdued character? That's the single solution?

Excellent deployment of the Howie scream.

It eventually received a ton of media coverage, yes. But without that, this release almost had almost no marketing efforts leading up to the show's release.

That was an issue starting up with their original content, but I'm fairly sure they fixed the issue where they don't own most of their new shows.

And what does that song even have to do with anything? Brother D incest? Danny and Tyrion tryst? I don't get it.

How could they, when it was the same queens…

Yes it is. You can get it on DVD or digital download. It is not on Prime Streaming, which is the one caveat. Netflix is the only place for direct streaming.

Or the abundance of Apple computers in the white house of House of Cards.

Marco Polo is actually more designed to be Netflix's gateway series for international programming, and a stealth technical trial run on HDR techniques.

Netflix had an amazing 2015 in terms of original programming. Maybe it didn't connect with you, but the red N delivered a shocking number of high quality (and critically welcomed) series.

Which I've never understood, since the networks all seem to use a reskinned version of the Hulu delivery system when placed on their network sites. Such a nightmare.
