After watching the first two episodes I find YM&tA to be quirky and it has kept my interest.
As long as one goes in with the understanding that this is an off-beat comedy about the end of the world, the tone of the show fits quite well.
Perhaps American audiences might find the British stereotyping of Americana kind of strange.
The comedic elements rely heavily on irony and social commentary, so if those are not your thing then this is not the series for you.
Most of the characters are well performed; I find many of them engaging. The ensemble reminds me a bit of a Coen brothers creation.
Recommended to try at least the first episode and see if this is your kettle of tea.
