Unfortunately there are just so many brands in play that all these reviews tend to act as fuel, feeding a growing black hole of indecision that sucks away at your precious spare time, demanding you spend more and more of it reading about robots that suck (when you could, let's be frank, be getting on with the vacuuming task yourself) — only to come up for air each time even less convinced that buying a robot dirtbag is at all a good idea.

If you are wondering whether or not Letterkenny is for you, ask yourself: Do you like the mix of the surreal and totally mundane on the Canadian series Trailer Park Boys; the community of eccentrics on (the also Canadian) Schitt's Creek; dirtbag hangout shows like It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia; the anarchic vibe of Irish series Derry Girls; or '90s-era, pre-edgelord South Park when it was mostly about foul-mouthed kids making trouble in a "shitty little mountain town"?

After Eleanor Shellstrop (Kristen Bell) dies and spends Season 1 in the Good Place worrying that her heavenly neighborhood's architect Michael (Ted Danson) will find out she doesn't belong, she winds up with a few others who also feel like maybe there's something amiss: Chidi (William Jackson Harper), a stressed-out, overthinking ethicist, Jason (Manny Jacinto), a Jacksonville dirtbag who loves to dance, and Tahani (Jameela Jamil), a British socialite caught up in one-upping everyone, even in the afterlife.
