    This is the best show of all time

    I have pretty much an endless amount of words for this but it would be very difficult to type and even if I spoke them rather than typing them it would still all be a jumbled mess (I have tried this), so I'll just leave it at the review title and hope that's enough to make you watch it.

    Funny and smart. An amazing show.

    This show is extremely funny, riveting and even intelligent. The seamless nature of fiction and sometimes prank level reality creates a really unique narrative. The two guys work extremely well together. Chemistry and character is on point. The stories they tell in each episode are so clever, and so well crafted, and can either bring tears of joy or tears of sadness. I will support the heck out of this show and it needs WAY more attention. Spread the word! I'm sorry, but it is a masterpiece. I see no flaws, because the flaws it has just add to the character of the show. Season 2 please.

    The most underrated show EVER.

    This show is so weird and out there and won't appeal to everyone. However, I think it is absolutely brilliant. It blurs the line between whats real and not real. They figured out legal loopholes to straight up use copyrighted material for free. The setups and payoffs are perfect. I love the story, the characters, everything. It's such a shame the network shut down before they could do more. And the show's only downfall is that it's so hard to find. Please give it a chance if you can track it down. One day hopefully it gets the recognition that something like "Nathan For You" now has. 10/10. Cannot wait for the movie.

    Totally underrated

    This show is by far the most underground, underrated series I have ever watched. It is pure genius and I wish more people were watching it to experience. Very creative and funny, praying that they make more.

    The Best Canadian Show

    My Home Country of Canada has few shows that are of any value. Nirvanna The Band The Show aims to fix that with gut busting comedy & clever satire/parodies. Matt & Jay's comedy flows naturally and they work well off each other. This show does a good job In selling the tourism for Toronto and making it look like a wonderful place to visit. I pray that Season 3 can find a home now that Vice Canada has hit the dust. I watched both seasons on City TV back home so we can only hope they can find the rights for Season 3. This is the best Television Show that Canada has ever produced & hardly anyone knows of it. This is a masterpiece & my favourite non animated comedy. Give it a go

    • Trivia
      Matt is allowed to say the word "fuck" freely, while every time Jay says it, he's bleeped. When they switch bodies in The Book (2017), this is kept consistent and Matt is censored, while Jay is finally allowed to swear.
