Ben Soosneb posted:It was more enjoyable than I was expecting. I thought the show was ok. My only real (big) criticism is that I knew when the beats were coming. I also thought the acting of the black guy Warwick asked to press the buzzer seemed really poor. He didn't seem to acknowledge the camera being there yet answered questions in such an obviously "abrasive for the show" manner. It just stuck out to me.

Lionel RichTea posted:I think it's pretty bad to be honest. I've got the same problem with it that I've got with the US version of The Office - it's supposed to be a fake/parody documentary style, but all pretence is lost straight away because the scenarios are so outrageous. It's like they've thrown together The Office and Extras (with Davis straight up playing David Brent), and watched a lot of Curb Your Enthusiasm at the same time, and disregarded that they're different types of comedy, and what made The Office work is different to what makes something like Curb Your Enthusiasm work. Also, let's be honest, it seems like a lot of it is lifted straight out of Extras and The Office. Cut to news report showing the feature and it's shown as shot-reverse-shot. Thought there was only one camera? It's a very minor point in the grand scheme of things but it's pretty shoddy. LTS is easily Gervais/Merchant's laziest and uninspiring piece of work to date.

Rob Brydon was sorely missed on Big Fat Quiz. Jamie loving Oliver. Did however laugh at Walliam's jibe at Izzard regarding him being a fairweather transvestite. I guess the goatee does make things awkward.

madey posted:What did I miss? I get how the central premise was that technology allows us to be more callous and do bad things to each while easily bypassing our conscience. But the Rafe in the hut was literally a simulation and not a human at all. I thought Jon Hamm had the worse fate by far. I too think that this cookie system could've easily had it's own feature length episode, and hope that we see one in the future. Also there's a whole thread on this magnificent show
