The show is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mr._Birchum
It was produced by DailyWire+, which is a media firm founded by Ben Shapiro.
It only made 6 episodes because the market it shot for, right wing people who hate "woke" rejected it. There is plenty of market for those people consuming what is essentially ragebait and hate content.
They don't seem to want to consume actual media though. Right wing grifters have been trying to target them for a while with "alternative" content, but they don't actually want to enjoy anything. They just want to watch Ben Shapiro tell them that woke is bad, liberals are evil, and "Go woke go broke".
This is the same market that Russia Today was paying hundreds of thousands of dollars to people like Tim Pool to shout at.
Ironically the reception seems to be it could be an average show if it wasn't so intent on yelling about how much it hates "woke". It's brought down by the amount of virtue signalling it does.
