The Chair Company

Someone suggested this show to me, and honestly I put it off because I cannot stand Tim Robinson's schtick. I've pretty much panned on this site everything he's done.

I finally relented and glad I did. Yes, it's still a weird show, and yes, Robinson is his usual awkward self, but he's finally found a balance that doesn't make him a chore to watch. This Robinson I can handle.

The acting, pacing, and story are all top notch. Yes, it's silly, but has just enough intrigue and comedy to help it glide right along. I find myself -needing- to watch the next episode immediately at the end of each, a feeling I haven't had since Breaking Bad.

Kudos, Mr. Robinson. Maybe I was wrong about you.

Tim plays almost an identical character from his movie Friendship. He plays this well however. The show for now has time to get weirder, in a good way. Looking good forward to see where it lands. If the writing gets stronger and plot gets wilder this could be really good. Time will tell. Tim's yelling never gets old.

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 .

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.

Right off the bat, you can tell this show is a very specific style of comedy- one where it relies on absurdist humor, awkwardness, and pure ridiculousness to engage the audience. It reminded me of Nathan Fielder's shows (which I generally love). Unfortunately, it fails to maintain its momentum throughout the series.

The first half, while very silly, still has a content plot/mystery to follow. This eventually fades to give way to 100% ridiculousness. No semblance of a plot or a story to follow- just craziness every single episode. As someone who enjoys absurdist humor, it became too much for me. When every single second is someone acting over the top stupid, it quickly loses its charm.

People are saying it's a genius show that acts crazy on purpose, but I think they just love Tim Robinson. If you're obsessed with him and can laugh for hours at him making stupid faces, then sure, maybe you'll love this. But if you're looking for an actually good show, you'll probably only like the first half.
