Friedland (who is gay and has a small penis) isn't that surprising but John Early is like an actual actor who's actually been in stuff.

    Kinda funny, looking it up now, apparently a lot of the cast of that show have decent leftist cred (for celebrities at least). Early is in the DSA and Shawkat has done a lot of pro-Palestine activism. Weird a show about annoying bougie hipsters.

    But yeah I really liked the show despite its many flaws and weirdness. Also find it weird how forgotten it is, I've met maybe two people irl who have even heard of it, it has like 1/10th the popularity of Broad City despite having similar themes, style and actors of similar fame levels.

        I actually kinda disagree. One thing I found interesting about the show is almost EVERY character is an unhinged weirdo, regardless of class level. Seriously I can count the number of characters who were normal decent humans on one hand, like it was Dory's journalist ex (and even he seemed like a bit of a narcissist at time) and like... idk maybe Keith? If anything the message of the show is everyone is a maladjusted weirdo.
