I can see why a section of this memoir about the various sketches of Mr. Show and details behind how they worked at them might not appeal to all readers, but I do find it a little insightful about how they were created and worked at fairly tirelessly, changed, and adapted to work better for an audience that was barely watching.

Read on my break at work on Wednesday January 31, 2024.
His short anecdote about tossing out a backstory to Martin Freeman on Fargo season one is great and if it happened to me would have emotionally killed me, and made me question "what I am doing here" even more than Odenkirk with his imposter syndrome on a Spielberg film (one that I frankly wasn't that fond of as much as I would have liked).

I had no idea Odenkirk did so much directing. I have seen on streamers those two broad comedies he mentions in a negative light here but wouldn't have guessed he was behind the director chair for them. It is interesting to read him detailing how he came about trying to direct them for a variety of reasons, creative and otherwise, and how they got away from him in execution.

I am surprised that Odenkirk ended the one chapter teasing that he started doing cocaine at a low point and then in the 10 pages of the next chapter there is no follow-up on that. He goes into the projects he did after the low point as he was in development hell, and in recapping those I can again see how some people wouldn't be as interested in those unseen shows, but I found it a little compelling to hear them.
