This series had potential to be unique, and I think in some ways it still maintains that, but overall it doesn't do well in capturing your attention. I do think it has a few redeeming qualities that would make it worthwhile to some viewers.
The show's characters aren't interesting or distinctive, which is what I believe this series misses most.
The episodes tend to have very little conflict. The stakes are typically low as well which make for boring television. Often, the main trio (Bean, Elfo, and Luci) get into something trivial, it resolved, then they're back to square one and ready to repeat it in the next episode. It's all predictable. Each episode started to blend together at about episode 6 in Season 1. I soon realized I was having trouble with episode plots and what the characters were truly doing.
As for comedy purposes, it doesn't garner laughs from me--the comedy it tries to produce isn't particularly funny.
There is some sort of charm the show possesses though. I can't quote put my finger on it exactly, but it makes for a decent show to have on in the background.
I don't think the writers are passionate about the show, unfortunately. It certainly shows in the episodes.
All in all, it's watchable enough.
