It's actually pretty good and would work better as a standard show instead of a mockumentary. Talking to the camera doesn't add anything and they don't play up to it anyway, aside from being more generous than usual to a homeless man.
The other reason it probably doesn't cut through the broader audience is because there are two leads.
It should be about Billy trying to stay relevant in the age of Kardashians while many of his fans fade away. Gad would work much better playing off him anyway because he doesn't really have any dream or goals throughout the show aside from getting a movie role.
The premise is old but done well in terms of writing and production. There are solid one-liners and punchlines.
It could have easily been done in 6 episodes. A few episodes seem like fillers and are wasted a bit. In saying that one of the best episodes would be Billy's birthday when he talks about his loneliness and longing to spend more time with his late parents. It's a touching moment. The show needed more of that.
Billy is brilliant as usual. His timing is impeccable. Josh is OK and the running gag about him being Jonah Hill is pretty funny.
It's definitely worth watching. It's not very deep and the characters don't develop that much because they are playing "themselves" but it's pleasurable and has some funny moments.
