Forrest McNeil's "Review"

"But sleeping with Mrs. Greenfield presented daunting challenges. I had never met her and she was obviously married. (google image searching: ooh, she's charming!) But thanks to our modern collective disinterest in privacy, I was able to find basic information about my sex target rapidly."

i almost fell over

I feel like I really want this show to jsut do ONE low-stakes episode, and soon, because it is escalating so hard that it's getting hard to keep suspending disbelief in a way. like an episode where he just eats spicy food and poops at a wedding or something to cleanse the palate

lmao - close enough!

although they've announced episodes 1-3, they are also being extremely, intentionally coy about exactly how many episodes are in this season, which leads me to believe that something very interesting is gonna happen to this show in a couple weeks

Off to an amazing start

Yeah first ep was great. Urbaniak is so good in this, and I loved the Clockwork Orange style home and assistant he had.

lol @ murder trial resolution. and the whole "Forgiveness" review.

This show is completely brilliant--the Helen Keller courtroom scene was one of the funniest things I've ever seen

my wife and I were joking around about how this will end, ie. Forrest on his deathbed reviewing "Death" and choking out "five.... stars!" before croaking

I think the first line his lawyer ever says (after showing up late) is "Sorry, I couldn't find my shoes!" Which is just so perfect.

"Do you want them to think you're a murderer or a self-defenser?"

I think the final review is probably gonna be "Life". I'd say its about 50/50 he survives the series

grant is the chekhov's gun imo

perfect ending

Amazing just how they went so dark in season 2 and then went darker still for season 3.

grant's final twist of the knife was brutal

swapping places with the co-host and having her just say, "eh, I decided not to do it" was pretty brilliant

and the cryogenics thing was so close to him actually reviewing "death" like I was joking about above

the last call was from the guy who played myles barlow on the original review, the australian show upon which the american one is based. i know this bc i just started watching the original bc i just heard of it!

wait waht?

I had no idea!

yeah! i had no idea either! "review with myles barlow", i've watched 3 eps so far, its different enough (simply because it's not andy daly, and really, who is?) to enjoy.

really thought they were gonna kill him off but I think Forrest blowing his only chance at redemption was a better ending

can't believe the 3rd season was only 3 eps :/

yeah i whooped when he came on. the australian REVIEW is darker in some ways than the US version, but in other ways not. i like it (it's on hulu in case anyone wants to check it out).

Not sure the last three episodes were terribly funny, but given I hasn't expected the show to come back at all, I guess they let us down easy OK.

Goddamn this show is great
