I don't really think it's funny when people are presented with choices, they always pick the wrong one. Maybe it's an American thing.
It's an absurdist deconstruction of the genres it touches. It takes either prior familiarity with Robinson or else more than five minutes to get that.
I respect that. I can't claim I know anything about the series, not having watched it really. It was just my gut reaction to the restaurant scene at the start. Maybe I should give it another shot.
