The Chair Company

I get the humor. The protagonist is relatively normal--let's say, normal adjacent. He has a fairly realistic and likeable family. His workplace is populated by more oddballs than believable characters. Then there's the world of the conspiracy, which is populated by an even weirder bunch of characters who, one by one, turn out to be relatively harmless and pathetic, defusing much of the tension that might have been generated there.

I find myself laughing at events when they are at their most absurd and frenetic, but for me it's just a little too far between those moments.

So for me, not quite enough laughs to hook me as a comedy and not enough development of the conspiracy for me to invest in that. I appreciate what it's attempting to do but I won't be watching Season 2.

If you like Tim Robinson's work you will love this. If you don't like Tim Robinson's work you will hate this. If you've never been exposed to Tim Robinson's work you will know within the first 2 minutes of the show if this is for you or not.

As a huge TR fan, this is possibly the hardest any of his shows has made me laugh.

I can't know how to hear any more about tables, which is why I am more to happy to talking about chairs. Tim Robinson is simply too good in this thrilling and unraveling mystery about a company that is both everywhere and nowhere at the same time. This version of Tim Robinson's character is a bit different than the one he played in Friendship. This man has a lot to lose. He has respect from his coworkers, a family that loves him, a car that he doesn't have to share for his wife's flower business. He has it all. I fully expect this series to push the boundaries when it comes to shows about office furniture, but for now we're on chairs...and this show delivers the chairs. Unlike his recent feature film "Friendship" (which has absolutely no friendship in it), this show delivers the goods immediately, and I for one expect it to continue doing so until the very end. A++

Watched the first episode - bizarre in the best way. What starts as a simple office accident quickly spirals into a surreal mystery packed with awkward humor and unease. Tim Robinson perfectly balances frustration, paranoia, and comedy. A weird but fascinating start that definitely kept me curious for what's next .

As I watch the genius that is Tim Robinson I can't help but wonder if the quality and nuance of his acting is overlooked by the hilariously offbeat dialogue and odd situations in every scene of The Chair Company.

Only someone with Robinson's talent can make this work so effectively.

Insert any other modern comedy actor into the role of Ron Trosper and The Chair Company would come off as far less believable.

Make no mistake about it........ Tim Robinson is an actor and a damn fine one.

Robinson has managed to create a new type of comedy over the last few years and has achieved the impossible task of making each series better and better.

Thankfully The Chair Company rises to the very top.

Robinson's comedy style may appear simple to the casual watcher, but ask any true fan of his work and they will gladly take you down the rabbit hole of his genius.

Robinson has achieved a cult following among his loyal fans and I consider him among the greatest modern comedy writers and actors working today.

The Chair Company will undoubtedly win a Primetime Emmy for outstanding comedy series and I look forward to every future project Robinson creates.
