A different style of comedy that is refreshing, funny, and makes fun of itself as well as YouTube. Nothing is off the table when it comes to how it really is behind the scenes as depicted in the plot lines. The gags are plentiful, star guest appearances prevalent, and it all makes sense after you get into the flow of the show. Who is Ryan Hansen? Had no idea until this show, but apparently he has been around for a while and is a great choice for this series. Worth the watch.

This Sh#t is wacky

If you love comedy and deconstructing tv shows this is for you

It is self referential in the extreme,
it is so meta it hurts,
it rips the pxxx out of tv crime shows and their recurring tropes,
it gives some insight into tv show terminology and methods,
I SIMPLY LOVED IT. EAGER FOR THE SECOND SEASON.
Various cameos enhance the show in a similar way to the excellent EXTRAS by Mr Gervais.

One of the Good TV Comedies.

It seems like shows like this are facing a dwindling audience. I don't understand how well written, absurd, and entertaining comedies like this struggle to find hordes of adoring fans, while a guy getting into a bathtub full of cheetos gets millions of views and likes on youtube.
This is the 3rd show I've watched on youtube Originals after Sideswiped, and Overthinking With Kat & June. All 3 shows are good, but Ryan Hansons is by far the most funny and silly.
Recommended for fans of Veep, No Activity, Eastbound & Down, Seinfeld, and Curb. Just to name a few.

Take my 10$

I don't remember exactly why I signed for a YouTube red free trial, but the show is the reason I keep my YouTube premium to this day. It's funny and creative and witty, and I honestly hope there's a third season. Don't get me wrong having no ads is nice but shows like Ryan Hansen solves crimes on the internet is why I still have a subscription. If you haven't seen it I recommend you do as it's essentially a love letter to all the celebrities and shows that mean a lot to the fans but may not get the sunshine they deserve. Seasons one and two are great and here's to hoping we get more!
No one gets this show; it is that deep of a metaphor

This is a show about how traditional television does not have any respect for YouTube Red, or other streaming services. A ton of references about the fact that no one knows what YouTube Red is.
Inside of a show about the fact that actors take odd jobs while they're chasing their dream; an unemployed actor (Ryan Hansen) accidentally ends up getting a job on a task force with a cop from Cleveland. Inside of references about how television shows are produced and directed. Inside of a sitcom featuring John Cryer. The cop from Cleveland and actor from LA actually have a lot more in common than they would originally think. If they're not breaking the fourth wall you might be watching the wrong show. Don't forget Ryan Hansen's video blog on the show, before the show; which talks about how well the show is doing with the audience.
This has been done before, too many times to count, but it is so meta, you'll never want to watch anything meta again in your life. Entirely too intelligent for the average YouTube fan. This isn't "Foresome". But this show would never work anywhere else but YouTube.

Very annoying

Gave it a try but couldn't survive a full ten minutes. Maybe it gets better later on. To me the main character was very annoying and not funny. His encounter with the NCIS guy wasn't something to laugh about just weired and didn't enjoy watching. Found other things to do very easy. Like sticking a fork in my hand or scubbing the toilet.
First 90 seconds was funny
GoodErsatz20 July 2020
After that it went downhill. I really wanted to enjoy this show - especially after reading all the positive reviews on this site.
What I grew tired of very quickly was the mean spirited nature of the female cop towards the main "actor cop". If I had a nickel every time she called him an "IDIOT" or "MORON"... We get it Hollywood - he's a bad stupid man.
No chemistry between the two and not worth watching. Just an ugly show and not at all funny.

Pure Genius

Clever premise, great plots, rapid fire banter, and plots that make you grin the moment you get the gag. (The Donald Faison and public domain princesses stories were personal favorites.)
Hansen's enthusiasm is infectious. (And wow, did he really do that ninja stand in the Escape Room episode?)
A little breaking the fourth wall and loving jabs at Hollywood itself takes it to the next level.
Highly, highly recommend.

This is worth watching goofy, comedy

This is a new concept. very unique, hilarious, and interesting. Hats off to writers, they put a really good visible effort in this show. Also, I usually skip intros of every series. This is probably first one whose intro I just watch to read that one unique line they put in every episode.
Entertaining ,witty and funny
rjleurck17 February 2019
This show is to entertain. It does not take itself seriously and the actors (familiar and new) are great and seem to be enjoying the show as much as the audience. With all that the plot and changes work. Hope to see a season 3.
Perfectly Pitched

This was a brilliant show that I wish was going to have a third season. Ryan was more than willing to make fun of himself, make fun of tropes, and make fun of American culture all at once. And the thing is, as corny and terrible as the premise was, it worked. The actors they had guest star were brilliant, the concepts were funny, and the pace was perfect.
I know there isn't a season 3, but I can't stop wishing for one. It's among the top tier streaming comedies.
I cannot recommend it enough.
