Admittedly I've only watched 2 episodes but you don't have to eat a whole plate of spaghetti to find out if it all tastes bad.
While not terrible in itself, these are exercises in wringing every last drop of imagination, constantly reinventing a fairly wafer thin scenario (burger joint stick up/ hospital admission/ track and field star) replaying the same events and reusing the same few cast members over again in a way that stretches their meagre budgets into something so thin it's becomes a chore. If each one were distilled into a 3 minute rock video they wouldn't seem out of place.
Each episode (or half episode as it appears sometimes 2 narratives are spliced) is bookended by Freddie himself, obviously phoning it in, wisecracking so maliciously you miss his presence from the remainder of the tedium, only accentuating the poor production value.
At 44 episodes this is an exercise in brand recognition the same way McDonald's use Disney films to promote Happy Meals.
