I thought this would be along the lines of Impractical Jokers where it's just a bunch of giddy, juvenile idiots, who then go on to publicly embarrass themselves, with their friend in tow.

It wasn't like that at all. I'm struggling slightly to convey how good this is without seeming like I'm paid to do so. Because it genuinely is very good. Not "knock your socks of amazeballs", but certainly "laughing out loud for real, not the almost meaningless 'lol' crap".

With that said: The solid acting from James Marsden pulls it altogether.

However, that's not to discredit anyone else. Everyone's performance were brilliantly acted.

Added to the fact that the writers had written an exception script for this very specific, very niche, very different and unique screenplay.

As mentioned, not an impractical jokers kinda guy, but the plots, the cringe, the naivety from Ronald, the only cast out of the loop, adds fantastically to the set up.

And you can really see all his genuine amazement, shock and bewilderment and joy from the scenes played out in front of him.

Whomever was the cast director deserves an Oscar. I mean, these people were perfect for exactly every role they played. To the point where one can say: The didn't play the part, they lived it.

Well done and hopefully a season 2 can come out if this stays just below the radar that they can catch another fish for this.

As per my review, a solid eight. Which for this type of show in my opinion, is excellent. Potentially a 9 or 10 score won't exist unless it is in Zuckerberg's Meta Universe where you can play by physically be there and the options are multiple choice, which will direct the experience in certain directions, but you take a "physical" part of the show and not simply the "fly on the wall viewer"

Anyway, enjoy, don't enjoy, but by the Gods, man... Give it a Go!
