But it’s beautifully observed and – especially in the case of the episodes with Marc Maron – tremendously well acted.Ī hilarious, obnoxious riff on talkshows, The Eric Andre Show often seems to come as a surprise to its own guests notably James Van Der Beek, who finds himself confronted by a terrifying doppelganger. An average episode will be about a pair of lightly monied Silver Lake residents who come into a period of minor marital difficulty and then quickly overcome it. ![]() Joe Swanberg’s improvised mumblecore Netflix anthology Easy operates at its own pace. Their parodies of Jiro Dreams of Sushi, Stop Making Sense and Original Cast Album: Company are as beautiful as they are funny, which is saying a lot.
