‘Universal Basic Guys’ Is Moronic and Dated: TV Review
Fox's "Universal Basic Guys" follows brothers Mark and Hank who embark on a series of hijinks and adventures as basic income recipients.
After being laid off from the local hot dog factory and being inducted into a new basic income program, Mark and Hank have plenty of time on their hands to spend their $3,000 monthly checks on high jinks and foolishness. In Episode 8, “Poconcos,” Mark, Hank, Tammy and Darren find themselves in a Jumanji-like magical game, where things quickly dissolve into chaos due to their inability to communicate. However, since the audience is thrust into the Hoagies’ lives without truly understanding what happened during the robot takeover at the hot dog factory, or what exactly UBI entails, viewers are left as directionless as the series.
