There's a lot of this that's different than I've heard happened, but then again I don't know the entire story of that group of comedians and creators who orbited around Doug Kenney.
It was fun when I'd recognize one or other celebrities that continued on after his untimely death.
And it was interesting to think about how politically incorrect they'd all been at that point in time. (Then again, anyone trying to say the seventies was socially "accepting" is a fool.)
The framing was interesting, especially when you go in knowing Kenney's ending at least and wondering why Martin Mull showed up at the start. (Then again, who's to argue with any Martin Mull appearance, the more illogical the better.)
I think I need to go and read up on the actual history of this group. Lots of times I head-tilted in confusion sorting reality from schtick.
But that just means Netflix has me engaged and that I'll need a second watch. Great marketing on their part, really.
