## Synopsis

I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson (2019-2023) is an American sketch comedy series created by Zach Kanin and Tim Robinson for Netflix. Tim Robinson writes, stars in and plays most of the characters across its three seasons of six episodes each, with a deep roster of guest stars such as Andy Samberg, Cecily Strong and Fred Willard appearing in single sketches. Its engine is simple: an everyday interaction, such as a service call, a party or a workplace exchange, begins normally and then spirals into escalating, painfully awkward absurdity as one character refuses to back down or read the room. Each episode is a run of short, self-contained sketches with no shared story, so viewers can drop in anywhere. The series is built on deadpan delivery, sudden tonal swings and quotable lines that play out with mounting discomfort. Its register is surreal, sarcastic and farcical, skewering modern social anxiety in the vein of Mr. Show with Bob and David and Curb Your Enthusiasm. Fans of alt comedy and cringe comedy will find much to enjoy here.
