Just watched the first two episodes of this new HBO show from Sam Mendez and Armando Iannucci. Not quite sure what to think yet. I think the second episode was better than the first but feels more Avenue 5 than Veep to this point.

Anybody else on this?

I watched the first episode and don't have a lot of desire to continue. Feels very Avenue 5 ish, but not as good.

sports-related?

Nope. Hollywood satire. "The Franchise" refers to an alt-version of the Marvel or DC franchises.

Each episode has gotten a little better though the comedy seems slightly forced. I do love me some Aya Cash, though. I like the use of Himesh Patel much better than Avenue 5. I'll probably see this one through to the end.

Guess I'm the only one still on this. It's gotten considerably better IMO. I understand it had nowhere to go but up.

We’ve hung with it and it’s a slow drag race into a brick wall.

Well, after waiting a few weeks for Episode 9, thanks to a little Googling it appears there is no Episode 9 for Season 1. It's over. Probably for good as I can't imagine they'll bring it back. It was a little uneven but I enjoyed it. Odd way to end it, IMO. Almost like the play clock just ran out and everybody shakes hands at midfield and walks to the locker room.

Yeah, I didn't realize that was the finale until well after the fact either. 

Entertaining enough show, but nothing remarkable or enduring.

Holy crap ... I must be the only one who finds it incredibly funny. Every line is chock full of droll references to things both within the script and outside the show. I find myself actually guffawing ... and I NEVER guffaw.
