Was so excited for it to start, then was really disappointed with Episode 1. From there, it was a steady build of hilarity. Great, great series. Could have been 12-16 episodes with no problem.
The funniest part is that someone even 5 years younger than me would have missed the shows and movies necessary to make it funny. One of the most accurate satires I can remember.
Side note: Bradley Cooper having to film all of his scenes in one day due to scheduling conflict could have been totally hidden, but instead they made it into a gigantic, purposely awkward joke as DJ Ski Mask.
