From reading some of these reviews, I understand that this was a show based on Colleen Ballinger's YouTube character. I'm not familiar with Ms. Ballinger or her work, but I do know that this show came off much the way SNL skits turned into full-length feature films do: what may have worked for five minutes doesn't work for longer than that. I'm not sure if Miranda inhabited a solitary world on YT, but she's so unrepentantly toxic and annoying that it doesn't work to have her co-exist alongside other obnoxious characters, which is really what this show is about. I'm sure there are plenty of people who think it's quirky, but I just found the entire enterprise exhausting, with no comedic payoff (Miranda is just cringeworthy, not laugh-inducing) to interrupt the unrelenting slog of awful people being awful to one another. I called it a day at six episodes.
