I don't get the hatred I'm seeing online for this. Looks so much better than Discovery or Picard.

I think it looks like Family Guy garbage.  I hate that show.  And I hate the other one about eating hamburgers.

The first few episodes were fun, but I lost interest pretty quickly.

Hamburgers are infinitely more interesting 

Fat guys who were canceled, should stay canceled
