Fielder has good comedic timing and a honed flare for the absurdities of life. When this series started it had a lot of promise to allow ridiculous situations garner ridiculous (and funny and sometimes insightful) reactions by real people. Kor was amazing. Patrick genuinely emotional and turning him into a literal gold digger was funny.
But Angela was a stereotype clearly created by Fielder as a foil to his ideas. We became viewers of Fielder's inner monologue without recourse to anything real. He turned the whole premise of using real world examples into a dream sequence that just undid all meaning. The man could have written an existential book and it had as much meaning.
Macbeth gave a good summation of this show " It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing."
It is a shame that Fielder thought he could act and be taken as meaningful. It is a shame that he took a solid premise and devolved it into some strange dissertation without real or meaningful connections. All it ended up being was a performance art piece. And like most of those it had some good parts. But overall left you feeling was it worth the effort.
