The Joel McHale Show with Joel McHale

I really enjoyed season 1. The content of season 2 is great as well. HOWEVER!!! Someone fire the post production sound mixer guy. The softest volume item on the show (most noticeable in episode 1 season 2) is Joel's voice. Are you kidding? The loudest volume item was the theme song at the end. Right in the middle were the clips. What is this, the "Joel Mchale theme song guy show"? Very unprofessional. Disappointing. And who the heck is labeling this show unscripted? It is anything but. There. I feel better.

This is his lane. He's an equal opportunist. Do dumb stuff on tv and he'll call it out. He's quick smart and funny. Was always wondering what happened to the Soup... i hope Netflix never cancels this show.

As a massive fan of The Soup, I was ecstatic to hear that Joel MacHale was getting a new show on Netflix, and I am happy to say, its as if they just picked up where they left off. Taking hilarious jabs at pop culture and silly TV shows. Its basically the same format as the original Soup, Joel stands in front of in front of a green screen as he makes fun of the bottom of the barrel of TV trash. I laughed just as hard as I did with the original soup and I highly look forward to the rest. Its going to be a weekly show so I cant wait for the next episodes.

The show is also uncensored, which is very fun to see. It also tales many jabs at the Soup and his team of workers. The exclaim its amazing that someone gave Joel another job, and also remembering how bad the animated titles were. The show also doesn't just do TV like the Soup did, it also does internet videos like Tosh.0. I'm am so overjoyed that this show didn't suck like so many other Netflix shows, I highly looking forward to what is basically more episodes of the original Soup.

I recommend this to any Soup fan.

While some review(s) balk at the concept of the show, saying that Joel McHale can't run something like this or that this is some sort of low point, I need only reference the fact that this is, in all relevant ways, The Soup which ran for over a decade.

And this show is The Soup, except on Netflix (dum-dummm), and aside from some jokes geared at the network and other slight changes, this is essentially the same show that you remember.

From the fantastically ridiculous and out-of-context clips to the impromptu cameos and cheesy segment openers, it is the perfect successor to the series, and the same parts that used to make me laugh are doing so once again.

That all being said, this show is not for everyone (the same could be said for the original), but if you liked McHale's last half-hour standing in front of a green screen once a week, you should not be disappointed.

I was an avid viewer of The Soup and absolutely loved it. Was really looking forward to "Soup V2" but honestly, it's not as good or clever. The writing isn't that strong and the segments are also just okay. I will continue watching it since I'm a fan of Joel McHale but was expecting much more. Hopefully it gets better.
