I like that HBO is experimenting with Youtubers but Kevin can’t act. Phil needs to lose weight. He looks 30 years old. It’s all kinda corny. I hope it gets better.

I think this is a great experiment from HBO. I hope they don’t take themselves too seriously and that the story’s good! From the clips, it looks like they’re trying too hard, but I’ll wait until the show starts!

Now go watch WAF.
