Anyone watch "Murderville"?

A friend recommended it so I tried to watch the first episode. I could only last about 20 minutes of it. It was almost amusing, but not funny at all. I felt it just tried too hard to be funny. Now I'll be a bit more cautious with her recs!

It's on Netflix.

The Conan episode was the best one, although the Christmas special is close. Conan, Ken Jeong and Kamil Nanjani were the best guests, Marshawn Lynch was funny as well.

I watched a couple and gave up then I watched this most recent or maybe not with Jason Bateman thinking they are so funny together and I love their podcast that at least I would like it. Nope. I do not get that kind of humor I guess. I tried but I am done.

One of the few shows I really enjoyed with Arnett was the one that takes place in Venice, CA. But probably mostly cuz I grew up around there, so it was fun seeing the locations. I generally find him to be cringe. Same with Conan, tbh, so the first episode was a pretty quick nope.
