Review (2014–2017)
9/10
"Life. It's literally all we have. But is it any good?"
28 December 2022
Forrest MacNeil, the guy on TV who will review anything his viewers want, from the mundane to the life-changing. That's an awesome hook, but Andy Daly is a comic genius and runs like hell with it. The requests become progressively more impossible, so Forrest's life becomes self-destructive. Hell, it goes right down the tubes. Case in point: "What's it like to eat 30 pancakes?". Rating life experiences becomes ruinous for both him and pretty much everyone within his orbit (my god, his poor wife).

I honestly wasn't prepared for something so addicting. As soon as I finished the series run (22 episodes?!) I immediately wanted to start over. The replay value is astronomical, and for my money the pancakes episode is some of the best tragic comedy I've ever seen. You wouldn't think it'd be so fun to see this weirdo get absolutely wrecked, and just as clever as it is dark.

This show's amazing!
