AVClub: Heading into the back half of The Characters’ eight-episode run, so far each comedian’s showcase can be roughly divided into one of two categories. Kate Berlant and John Early used their half-hour to craft a central theme around the various characters they played, while Lauren Lapkus and Henry Zembrowski’s outings were more about the sketches, weaving their characters together with a loose connective thread. Both approaches have produced varied but definite rewards—the more unified episodes have gone further into cringe comedy and subtle, often deeply unpleasant character work, while the sketch-based episodes have been broader (although often cringeworthy in their own right). Natasha Rothwell’s episode is more akin to the looser feel of the sketch-based episodes, but it’s by far the funniest example. In fact, it’s delightful.
The Big Cigar Review: This show is an entertaining and intriguing watch that is thrilling in the right doses.
Baahubali: Crown of Blood Review: This animated series has nothing to offer and makes you question why it was made at all!
Maestro in Blue Season 2 Review: This season of the fan-favourite series is a confusing watch, moreso because there is no passion or thrill.
That was pretty great. Maybe I'm a sucker for high-concept weirdness, but there was something really hilarious about the specific repetition and strangeness in this episode.
