My overall impression

Material is clever, creative, and very very funny. Mostly strong performances, with the women overall stronger than the men (Jim Blanchette being a notable exception). Particularly impressed with the number of characters many of the actors were able to differentiate clearly.

One extremely minor quibble about the writing: The conceit is that the show takes place ten years in the future, but — apart from a single joke near the start — the material seems firmly tied to present-day culture.

Warning: The potential for emotional turmoil exists if you object as strongly as I do to receiving chocolate but being simultaneously ordered not to eat it.
