I find that hard to believe, considering how much WWE corporate controls its wrestlers, despite them technically being "independent contractors"

The reins have gotten a lot, lot looser since Vince is out of the picture

It's still not great, mind, but it's a lot better than it used to be.

It's ... fine.
Some episodes lean into the setting and premise and do some cool stuff, lots of the episodes are generic sitcom tropes with the occasional "ha ha what if instead of newspapers, you bought a vase"

How many episodes is VIP season 2? There's at least 3 more episodes left, just judging by headshots in the promo

I really thought, from the previews, that Jacob dressing like Sam was going to be the premise of an entire episode

I simply skipped past the musical and didn't make a fuss about it

(I swear I'll watch it at some point, I just didn't want to watch it right then)

I did not care for the Claude McCaw episode

That said, I love Vic's Pat Nagel Vic and I hope it ends up in the merch store

I want to like Um Actually. I feel like I should like Um Actually. Pedantic nerd poo poo, as a gameshow, with some A+ theming, and BDG just kind of hanging out in the background, it should be an easy slam dunk

But every episode I watch I just kinda feel like it's ... I don't know, not living up to it's potential? There's too much structure for comedians to really riff, but not enough structure to keep it focused and moving as a functional gameshow.

On the other hand, learning that Beardsley only ever plays board games while insanely high is a nice bit of character building to tuck into the back pocket

Did you ever watch the Trapp era? It's often agreed that it tends to be missing something after that upgraded the sets and changed hosts and made it more... produced.

I watched the first 3 or 4 episodes of Trapp season 1, and I think I've gone through probably the same amount of Ify episodes at this point, and it's ... just not hitting. Ify is definitely a better host, and adding BDG and the production upgrades are all good, but it still just doesn't really do anything for me

Dropout also started doing profit shares with their performers, which is fuckin insane and cool and I have used this as a selling point for my friends to sign up for their own accounts after using mine for a preview
