Weeknight Watchearly ratingWhy it’s a Weeknight Watch
With almost no lasting buzz and a short run with a modest audience, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Made for anyone who wants a laugh. If you loved Monty Python's Flying Circus, start here.
- The mood
- Provocative satire that goes after everyone.
- The pace
- 5 seasons, but most episodes stand on their own, so you can dip in anywhere (about 21 minutes each).
- What might put you off
- Rated TV-14. Probably too much for younger kids.
Comedian Billy Eichner, unfiltered and unapologetic, hits the streets of New York City to test unsuspecting strangers on their knowledge of music and pop culture. With microphone in hand and money in tow, Eichner gives contestants the chance to win cash by answering a series of hilarious and spontaneous questions. The catch? The final round is subjective - Don't agree with Billy? You lose.
