I made it about 30 seconds into the first episode before deciding I couldn't bear the awful deinterlacing job Crackle did. Yes, it's available for free (at time of writing), but that's no excuse. Combing looks terrible. Deinterlacing video isn't a difficult art _or_ science; it only requires applying the correct filter when converting the video from source to streaming-ready encode. We'll see if anything comes of the support request I just sent in about this. I'll certainly return to the show sooner if I can view a decombed copy instead of the mess that's currently the only legal option.

A show that might have been ahead of its time. Lots of jokes about film (including making fun of things trying hard to be PC) still hold true to this day. The only downside is towards the end of the series it seems that the budget had gone and it shows, especially with the shameless "Clip show" episode that serves as a finale
