I've long been a fan of Nathan W. Pyle's comic, its witty observations giving insight into just how strange and ritualistic humanity is in such a pithy, short format.
When I heard that there would be an animated adaptation, I thought at best it was going to be a series of 5 minute shorts but when I fired up Apple TV and saw the half-hour episodes, I had a bad feeling.
Each episode takes the (admittedly thin, but medium appropriate) concept of the little webcomic and tries to stretch it out only for the entire sheer fabric of the show to rip itself into a tattered waste of time.
Just read the webcomics and save yourself the 5 hours.
