'I think you should leave' is an awful sketch show.

When it comes to television shows or movies that are funny, it's not exactly a secret that things aren't looking good at the moment. There aren't really any funny films or tv shows out there currently that would be even remotely worth watching or worth your time. 

After all, the reason that most shows - as unfortunate as it is - are so bad is that they lack even the most basic ingredients that would make them good. There's nothing in them that would give them even a tiniest chance to be about something that would make sense.

So when it comes to one of these current horrible, yet supposedly 'funny' shows, one of them is Netflix's 'I think you should leave'. This is a sketch show that a lot of critics (even in my country) have been raving about and saying that it's the best show in years. 

However, having now given the series a proper look, the problem with the show is that it just isn't any good. Despite the assurances by the critics, the show doesn't work and is easily one of the worst comedy series' that I have seen in a long time.

So when it comes to the series, the biggest issue that I have with it is that the show isn't even trying to be smart or well thought out. It's not even trying to create characters or situations that would be realistic or that would make sense.

Instead, the whole point seems to be that it just tries to be as dumb as possible as it could ever be. Its hacky approach falsely pretends that there's value in being pointless and convoluted without even trying to be remotely coherent.

Indeed, the basic 'formula' (if there's any) is that a sketch starts with some random scenario and then it gets pointlessly more 'cringe' as it goes on. The skit keeps dragging on without really coming up with any sort of decent ideas or structural beats.

For example, on the show there's stuff like a sketch with baby crying on a plane (picture above), which leads to a passenger yelling at another passenger as annoyingly as possibly. That's basically all there is to this 3-4 minute unfunny skit.

Another example is the uninspiring and pointless skit in which a tv lawyer asks the audience for 3 minutes whether something (sueable) has happened to them. This pointless sketch just went on and on and wasn't funny at any point of its duration.

Still, possibly the worst sketch was the one that had to with 'Baby awards'. This 'best sketch ever' (according to avclub.com) with a baby on stage was so banal, pointless, lacking in creativity and empty that I felt embarrassed on behalf of its performs.

So not surprisingly, once I was finally done with the episodes that I watched, I wasn't impressed at all with the series. I simply wasn't sold by the skits and couldn't understand why anyone would voluntarily watch them and think that they're great.

After all, even though comedy is admittedly at least a bit subjective, there should still be some universal standards that apply. Clearly these guys behind the show weren't coming up with anything that would make even remotely sense.

In that sense, when it comes to this show as a whole, if you're one of those who are thinking about giving this show a chance, you shouldn't get your hopes up too much. You shouldn't be getting too excited about the series despite the hype that it has received.

After all, even though critics have been giving this show their seal of approval, that doesn't mean that you should automatically believe them. You shouldn't be fooled by their supposed critical expertise and think that they know better.

In the end, at least in the case of me and my friends, we absolutely positively hated almost every second of the episodes & sketches that we watched together. We hated the sketches and could barely believe how bad they were.

After all, not only were the skits in general extremely poorly written, but there wasn't really anything else that would have redeemed the show. It was totally obvious that this Netflix series didn't work at all and was totally hopeless.

In that sense, if there's any chance that you could watch something else instead, do that. You should do that because there are so many other classic old shows (like Friends on Netflix) that are actually funny and meaningful, unlike this horrible and awful 'comedy' series.
