04/24/2022 02:37 pm EDT
Odd Choice
Fans who were familiar with Day were surprised by his performance here and wondered if it was his decision to play it that way. Some seemed to think it might have been pressure from producers or directors.
Distracting
Others were invested in the premise of Is It Cake? but were distracted by Day. They wanted a different host to follow the same format.
Knowledge
Viewers felt like Day displayed a strange lack of knowledge about baking for someone hired to host a baking show. They figured he should have done some research ahead of time.
Disagreements
To be fair, there were many fans that defended Day's performance here. However, even then the debate dominated all discussions of this show, overshadowing other aspects in review.
Unbingeable
Perhaps the greatest insult that could be leveled at a Netflix original series was leveled at Is It Cake? – fans said that they could not binge watch it because of Day's awkward humor.
Absurdity
Many of Day's defenders argued that this tone was appropriate for the absurdity of the show's premise.
Unfamiliar
Finally, the show never mentions that Day is a cast member of SNL, and many viewers didn't recognize him at first. This led to some awkward discussions with people asking who exactly this guy is and how he got this job.
