Buddy

The idea of a magical, singing orange unicorn holding a cast hostage in a surreal TV show dimension is landing with a solid majority, who are drawn in by the wild premise and demented humor. The high scores for originality and especially humor suggest the weird, funny tone is working exactly as intended. While the story gets a more mixed reception, the visuals and the central character of Buddy himself are clear highlights. The casting, however, is a major point of contention, with reactions to stars like Cristin Milioti, Michael Shannon, and Topher Grace being overwhelmingly negative, creating a noticeable drag on the excitement.
