Won't Have A Chance to Spoil. It's Already Dead

Interesting idea, but it feels too forced and the chemistry is non-existent. I guess the people who have rated it high enough to reach a 7.1 average rating are convinced this must be good considering the star power (mainly SNL alumni) who populate the episodes I've seen so far. IMHO, it didn't hold up. If the "Indie" crowd says it's genius, it must be genius. But I didn't find it entertaining. Will Farrell's tired imitation of Orson Wells is annoying and played out. Have no idea who wrote the stories, jokes and dialog—don't really care who did. The two episodes I watched were tedious and forgettable. I did, however enjoy the song Maya Rudolph sang at the beginning of Murder in B Flat. It was an accurate cover/ parody of Astrud Gilberto accompanied by Stan Getz circa 1965. Other than that.....YAWN/SIGH!!
