But the series is careful to share the toxic wealth, allowing guest stars like John Early, Sam Richardson, Patti Harrison, Bob Odenkirk, Tim Heidecker and Paul Walter Hauser to assay a variety of insecure jerks (though Hauser bucks the formula, playing a sensitive, sweet-natured guy who refuses to play his friends' casually misogynistic reindeer games).īeneath these characters' bluff bravado lies a searing portrait of contemporary American maleness that makes 'I Think You Should Leave' seem a lot more relevant, and a lot less stupid, than its many, many gleefully stupid jokes.

The three examples of entitled guys mentioned at the top of this review are all played by Robinson. By midway into the new, six-episode season, you'll grow concerned about Robinson's vocal cords. There's usually some shouting, occasionally some screaming. When those lies get exposed, Robinson's characters generally react with a particularly hilarious species of choked, affronted, incredulous rage. There's a performative woundedness in most of the characters Robinson and his fellow sketch comedians play - a sense of perpetual grievance that causes them to fabricate elaborate lies to crawl inside, just to get through the day. As it did in its first season back in 2019, Netflix's I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson delights in depicting acts of thoughtless, entitled masculinity - but only to expose the desperation, defensiveness and hilariously fragile egotism that drive them.
