Telemarketers (2023)
7/10
Fun While It Lasted (for 1 ep)
8 September 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Heard good things about this one from multiple people. In ep 1 when Pat snorts heroin I thought we were in for something special. Surely a debaucherous romp. American Pie mixed with Office Space set in real life perhaps. Turned out that, like heroin, the doc's highs were fleeting. By ep 2 it slows way down and is subsumed by a crusade by our lovable protagonist, Patrick J. Pespas. "Oh great, another self-serious documentary shedding light on a previously unknown evil", I thought.

Don't get me wrong, these telemarketing companies are greasy and twisted. And I was surprised and intrigued when it was revealed the charities are equally loathsome. I just feel like the promise of a good old fashioned comedy was squandered here.

Anyways, 7 stars.
