Impastor

I saw this on PRIME and thought it was new....sadly it is not and it ends with a total cliffhanger and no season 3. I liked it. Is it genius TV? No, but it is easy to watch and had some good laughs.

Beware - series ends on a cliff hanger; there is no conclusion.

And now I have to add words because my review is too short.

Still too short.

Wow, what is wrong with a short review?

Nice Sitcom by TV Land ,, and honestly i kinda expected it to be the minute i knew it's a TV Land series ,, they are getting a near 100% success on their Sitcoms in the last 5 years.

The Idea of the series is new and genuinely fresh, the plot is perfectly flowing ,, and the comedy is organised, direct and so spot on . and sure presenting a dangerously stressed out fast comedy by "Buddy" is really laughable and worth giving attention to..all of these tangled scams he makes !!! i literally could watch a whole season in one day and not even pause for a second.

The casting is good, Michael Rosenbaum is really funny haven't seen him on TV since "Breaking In" three years ago and he's known from "Smallville" but in the movie industry he wasn't that active "thank god for that" so we could see him here.. Sara Rue, Mircea Monroe, David Rasche and everyone in the cast they all had an applaudable pilot.

Overall,, as the pilot went fine and here i'm also done with the second episode and it is staying strongly on the same level of hilariousness , so i'm expecting a really boosting season with great possibility of renewal for a multi-seasons.

As second wave of covid-19 is upon us wherever we are around the world, some small comfort is access to online streaming that offers some small relief by way of a chance to binge out on shows that for some, like myself, had escaped our notice. This show is one of a number of streaming recommendations based around previous viewing and though I didn't care much for Michael as he portrayed the role of lex Luther in Smallville, I have to say this show really did seem to broaden his capabilities in his chosen profession.

I. For one, would not even want to attempt to pursue as it seems an arduous task; though I do admire all those involved (be it those on screen enlisted as characters for our entertainment or just as importantly all the other people involved in bringing these tv shows or big screen films to life in this field of work for they provide us ordinary folk the chance to u wind and escape from everyday life for short spells - thank you

Michale and Sarah Rue; a most enjoyable actor who I have been fortunate to watch on screen in a number of shows over the last couple of years have brought to life the characters of Impastor in a most comedic and IMO highly entertainingly funny format. You don't have to be a Christian person to appreciate the humour of the writers of the show but if you are then, if you have a modicum of humour, I'm sure that you'll find it even more entertaining.

There are other members of the cast, most of whom, I haven't come across before but I'm sure as my viewing habits increase, especially with Covid-19 limiting social interaction options, these actors will become familiar faces to me. Bonita is someone I recal from watching the hilarious 5 seasons of the tv show 'Chuck' ( not 'Chucky' that spook little ventriloquist doll) where she played, like Michael, a completely different character was just an good in this show.

Mircea monroe, David and Mike, I guess, are considered main supporting actors casted to help bring the show's characters to life (apologise for not being savvy about how the entertainment industry works - I just appreciate being able to enjoy moments of escapism) and, though I may not be familiar to their acting it was a joy to be introduced to them along with the whole team of actors (whose names I may not of mentioned sorry) involved in this tv show as those madcap half hour programmes have been great to watch.

Unfortunately there are only two seasons and I'm currently enjoying season two - disheartened to know the series wasn't carried on after 2017. If you want to escape to some comedic and light entertainment then tune into this show and enjoy the capers of Michael et al as, IMO, it's a highly entertaining programme.

I decided to give it 9 out of 10 because it only had 2 seasons & needed more.

The only shame about the show was it was cancelled after season 2 ( especially on a cliff hanger, as every show that is cancelled should be given 6 more episodes to tie up storylines & give the loyal viewing audience closure of the characters ). The Hollywood reporter quote; "TV Land is parting ways with Impastor. The single-camera comedy starring Michael Rosenbaum has been canceled after two seasons on the Viacom-owned cable network." NOW IF I SEE SOMETHING FROM "TV LAND or VIACOM I THINK TO MYSELF THESE ORGANISATIONS DO NOT REALLY CARE ABOUT THE CONSUMER, JUST THE BOTTOM LINE. NETWORKS AND COMPANIES NEED TO BUILD THEIR BRANDS BY PROVING THEY CAN BE TRUSTED TO GIVE CLOSURE ON THEIR TV SHOWS... as no problem if you need to cancel a show but do it in the right way as give the show 6+ more episodes to thank the loyal audience please.

If anyone wants a great new show then buy the rights to "impastor" if you can get the main actors on board, as this is a potential hit show if it is marketed correctly as after watching 2 seasons of this comedy I can tell you it is a truly great show.
