Review is coming back to conclude on Comedy Central.
One of the best, least watched, dry dark comedies around.
As a bonus for Mickhead, it's a remake/reinvention of an Aussie series.
The concept is simple genius. Forrest McNeil hosts a review show, except instead of reviewing movies or music, he reviews life experiences submitted by viewers.
It starts out innocent enough. 'Steal something' 'take up smoking.' And plunges into dark areas 'get divorced' 'become a racist.'
McNeil experiences these things in his real life and reports back with a summation and rating. He tackles them with innocent enthusiasm oblivious to the toll they take on his real life.
This is a very funny, but sedate challenge. Eat 15 pancakes [the amount recommended by the recipe on the back of the batter mix].
This is another show where people who've seen are are bursting to discuss it, but most of the joy is in discovering it for yourself. So you also don't want to spoil it for the uninitiated.
This clip gives a good hint at how funny it can be without spoiling how truly insane it gets over time.
