Is that show worth a watch? What other animated shows would you say it's similar to?
It's a good time -- in terms of character dynamics it's very similar to other Loren Bouchard shows (Bob's Burgers, The Great North). It's a surprisingly good musical most of the time too with a great cast. You'll hear some hints of homages but the music is made up of original songs and performed very well by the actors.
If you liked Hamilton then it's definitely worth at least checking out since the lead character is played by Leslie Odom Jr. (Aaron Burr in Hamilton) and Daveed Diggs is a main character (Lafayette/Thomas Jefferson in Hamilton).
Basically if you enjoy Bob's Burgers, Hamilton or musicals in general, then it's worth taking a look at. Fair warning, most agree that it starts out incredibly rough and only starts getting good about halfway through the first episode. I'd been warned about it but still wasn't prepared for how much of a slog it was to get through the first 12 minutes or so. But, as soon as the song Own It kicks in about halfway through, everything else starts to follow and it's a good time from there. A nice show to have in your watchlist for times when you need something less than 30 minutes, a fun thing to zone out to or have had too long of a day to pay attention to that complex thriller drama you're watching.

How is he lost? He's replying to a comment about a tv show?
For some reason my instance loaded their comment and ONLY their comment has a top level one and none of the other comments. 🫣
