Who has discovered this hidden gem on Netflix yet? Shit is star-studded and hilarious, even if most is some sort of dry humor. Plus the premise (adults playing kids) is pretty unique. I guess it just came out but I can't stop watching...plus it takes place in the NE (Maine to be exact) so...yeah...

If you've ever seen Wet Hot American Summer, you get the gist, its a "prequel" but made with the same cast 14 years later.

I remember watching the original when it came out and it's still one of my favorite comedies. It was great to see the actors from MTV's The State make an actual movie, along with legitimately famous actors who did it purely because of how much fun it was.

If anyone remembers The State, you get 5 bonus points for being old.

It's much better as a tv show than a movie.

It's pretty funny and ridiculous so far. I also think a lot of the cast has achieved more fame in the 14 years since the movie, and that in and of itself will attract more viewers to the original movie. Interesting concept tho.... I really do like it so far and I'll probably be watching the movie very soon.

Perfect example of the humor:

"Thank you Jeff"

"Please call me by my middle name"

"What is it?"

"Jeff"


Literally burst out laughing. Idk this show fits perfectly with my sense of humor.

At first I was like, "meh."

But then I saw some gay porn in the first video and now I'm totally on board.
