6/10
Not briliant from beginning to end, but amusing and reasonably clever

The little cliffhangers of The Flare have a real-show feel to them, as if they are written by people who make such things for a living. Jon Cassar ( worked on 24, The Orville, and directed episodes of some 2000's and 1990's shows ) perhaps has a large influence on the clips.

Fred's a natural. He might be able to pull off a real show if given the chance. A real-real show....not a real show that is fake, like this show. Even though this show exists, so it's real. But sorta not.

I can't be sure but I figure much of the dialogue in the interviews with the celebrities comes from the celebrities themselves, rather than being fully scripted by the show's writers. I'd be bummed if all of that was written for them, too.

Where things kinda go off the rails a bit is the random character who is part of the show in the first half, then suddenly pops up in the end. The timeline doesn't always fit to make this possible, so.....ehh, should we take that problem seriously?
