Idiotsitter is a comedy series that originally aired on Comedy Central from 2014 to 2017. The show follows Harvard-educated Billie (Charlotte Newhouse), who takes a job as a nanny for the wealthy and outrageous Gidden family. She quickly discovers that her charge is Gene (Jillian Bell), a 30-something woman who has been placed under house arrest by her billionaire father for drunk driving.

Over the course of the series, Billie becomes Gene's de facto babysitter, trying to keep her out of trouble and teach her how to behave like a functioning adult. However, Gene's wild and unpredictable behavior constantly gets in the way of Billie's plans, leading to a series of hilarious misadventures.

The show is known for its zany humor and over-the-top characters, including the eccentric Gidden family members and the various individuals who come in and out of their lives. Stephen Root delivers an excellent performance as Gene's father, a larger-than-life figure who wields his wealth and power like a weapon.

Throughout the series, the dynamic between Billie and Gene drives the action, as Billie tries to reign in Gene's behavior and teach her how to be responsible. At the same time, Gene pushes back against Billie's attempts at control, often leading to even more chaos and mayhem.

The show's writing is sharp and witty, with lots of clever wordplay and absurd situations. It's not afraid to push the boundaries of what's considered acceptable, with jokes and humor that can be both silly and edgy at times.

The show's visuals are also a highlight, with bright, colorful sets that are full of quirky details. The costumes and makeup are also excellent, helping to bring the larger-than-life characters to life in a way that's both hilarious and memorable.

Overall, Idiotsitter is a hilarious and irreverent comedy that's sure to keep audiences laughing from start to finish.
