I just watched the first episode on Netflix without hearing of it beforehand. I thought it was going to be a sitcom and I figured it'd be funny because of Fred Armisen.
It was absolutely hilarious. A perfect satire for the far left. My favorite was the adult hide and seek league. I usually don't watch short skit shows but this is too funny to gloss over.

Found via some Funny Youtube Vids -

I just looked it up.. its got 8 seasons and still going from 2011?
Dang! Do you watch all of it to RIDICULE it? How do you find these Gems, or is the entire thing like this.. and FUNNY from a satirical angle?
The point of modern propaganda isn't only to misinform or push an agenda. It is to exhaust your critical thinking, to annihilate truth.

Very underrated show. I wonder if it would be funnier if they went more hardcore, so that it crossed the line from satire to mockery of urban hipster culture? I'm not sure.

Very good show and they do mock hipster culture in many other episodes.
They have an episode where they have a "safe word" for sexual activity and use it for crossing the line for consent. You can imagine what happens next.
Very hilarious.

I am conflicted about this series. Good scripts, good performers, bang on social commentary.
The problem is that the two stars are social justice hipsters.
How can you savagely mock something in your art and then continue to live that way in real life?
Then it isn't really satire anymore, it is more like, gee, what good sports, they can laugh at themselves.
Would you still like Patrice O'Neal if you knew he always did what his girl wanted him to do?
I guess I can enjoy this just for itself, forget the creators, but it feels like you are being drawn into someone's self aggrandizing bullshit.

And they are basically saying, we are so awoke, we can laugh at ourselves.
