The Gleeson brothers off-beat comedy is a mixed bag for sure but not a complete failure. While it's not bracingly honest enough to work as the Curb Your Enthusiasm type show and also never really nails the film parody schtick - Brian Gleeson's Frank is a hypnotically self-absorbed lead, there are some transcendently bonkers moments and the "12 Angry Men play" episode is disproportionately fantastic (likely because it's the only one that's fixed in a single location). Worth a glance for certain - but needs more focus if it's to continue.
