EDIT I'm an idiot. lol I see the age rating I don't know what is wrong with me. Still, what about the politics?

Just watched the first ep. It was basically a rambling conversation between Duncan and someone else about drugs, animated with a mostly unrelated interdimensional zombie apocalypse story that goes into acid trip mode at times. Not critical viewing by any means, but in the proper mood and setting it'll do well, or if you like the trippy animation. Lots of gif potential.
No signs of it being PC. Definitely not for kids though.

Finished it and I still don’t know what to think. Definitely not what I was expecting. It’s basically a philosophical podcast with an illustrator on Super Jail amounts of LSD. That last episode though woah

I've seen the first couple episodes and I really like it. My type of "out there".

just finished and the show is fantastic
it hit me in the feels super hard, touched on a lot of interesting philosophical ideas, and shed a lot of insight on mental health and how to deal with it. it's definitely not for everyone, and i think it deserves a couple viewings; one for the actual interviews which are insightful, intelligent and just lovely, and a second watching for the animation and how it relates to the discussion at hand.

i feel like a giant pussy, but man that last episode had me in tears. it was so beautiful and well done. i legit feel better, kind of cleansed even after that. really good shit.

i was pretty stoned for most of it lol... but the last episode i wasnt, and im really glad bc i honestly kind of needed that. it gets deep man
its also a fun show to watch before bed (i almost always put on cartoons at bed time) bc the animations are trippy and you kind of have no fucking idea whats going on lol, and you dont really care anyway. so its good for people who just want that. thats all i was looking for in it. but then i realized the interviews were real, and that got me really interested in what they were talking about, and then i was hooked. i almost dont want a season 2 bc that was so damn good.

Watched the first two episodes, and what can I say.
It's simply amazing...
It's kind of hard to follow the conversation when there is so much unrelated trippy shit happening on screen that you also want to compute somehow.
5/5

That's what I felt after both episodes as well.
