London's Guardian newspaper notes:
Much like Saturday Night Live sketches, the sections are rather hit and miss. Unlike that late-night staple, there are far more hits than misses. This is not a way to get informed about the current events of the day, but to have one’s curiosity satisfied about far-flung experiences and one’s intellect stoked by stories that aren’t plastered all over the front page. Yes, it’s exactly like reading the New Yorker.
I don't think you need to be a reader of The New Yorker to enjoy the series, but you may gravitate toward the magazine after seeing the variety of material provided. And the nice part is that the episodes will be released weekly - no binging (or at least right away). Smart.
