He wrote that the show's sketches tend to revolve around "a character who is gloriously, spectacularly wrong—yet refuses to budge, lest they be humiliated by copping to their own wrongness" and that thus the show "isn't just a distillation of our personal insecurities, it's a condemnation of facade. It's an antidote, in other words, to the internet itself."{{cite magazine |title=I Think You Should Leave Was Right About Everything |url=https://www.wired.com/story/i-think-you-should-leave-was-right/ |magazine=Wired |first=Peter |last=Rubin |date=April 23, 2021 |access-date=May 7, 2022}}
