This show is simultaneously a finely-honed parody of a genre and one of the best entries in that genre. It oscillates between over-the-top sarcasm and down-to-earth sincerity without the jarring disconnect that so many other attempts create. It has a hilarious premise and a bonkers execution, continually upping the ante of what the audience will believe while constantly poking fun at the more ridiculous elements of film making. It’s fairly consistent throughout, so if it doesn’t grab your attention off the bat then you can safely give this one a miss. But if even the premise sparks your interest, definitely check this one out.

Closest comparison: It’s like Mission: Impossible by way of Hail, Caesar!
