With Cross and Arnett front and center, it's hard not to draw comparisons with Arrested Development. Instead of being a lovable, clueless idiot
Cross as Todd Margaret is a lying, clueless idiot. Instead of being a lovable jerk, Arnett's character is just a jerk.
Dave (Blake Harrison) is also a jerk whose sole purpose is to set Todd Margaret up to fall from greater heights. Alice (Sharon Horgan) is supposed to be the relatable one but her pity on Todd is as inexplicable as her unnecessarily complicated backstory.
I guess I just don't get the humor. It appears to be based on laughing at a liar who is too stupid to know how transparent he is. That doesn't make me laugh, it makes me cringe.
