Would It Kill You to Laugh?

Just when the world seems to be careening off a cliff, deuxmoi scoops that Kate and John have reunited on Peacock after their devastating falling out years ago. I rushed to watch and spent the next hour lol'ing heartily, just like in the old days, when a glass of natural wine cost but $10. Just then, as the scent of hot caramel (or was it toast????) wafted through my living room, I felt a twinkle of something I hadn't since before my divorce. A sense of H O P E.

Kate and John, carry on!!!!

These two have been established their comedy credentials via other people's projects, but it seems they're not cut out for comedy on their own. It tries to be "I Think You Should Leave", but I didn't laugh at a single sketch- and I really wanted to like it. Disappointing.

Hilarious, highly-sophisticated genre-bending show in the mold of the British League of Gentlemen or Inside No.9. Ostensibly, the frame story is about a duo of actors of a an embarrassingly idiotic show which, after years of trying to destroy each other are reunited in a talk show, which provides them with the final opportunity to - well - destroy each other. Or perhaps to make amends. Or maybe something else is going on? There are enough clues to make you wonder what exactly are you watching, what's "real" and what the parody. What is the show and what is the show about the show. So yeah, amazingly witty and complex, and also goofy and slap-sticky. Brilliant.

These two are absolutely hilarious together. A fair amount of the sketches fall flat and the reoccurring joke of hot plates and melted caramel didn't hit for me, but the interludes of Meredith viera interviewing them is pure comedy gold. I was laughing so hard I nearly chocked. Watching them discuss who got to keep certain comedic mannerisms was brilliant. I recommend if you're already a fan but if you're not on their comedic wavelengths you're gonna have a hard time clicking into this one.

Better than expected. The structure and attempt to do this alone gets it a 7. Laughter with heart and characters that make you examine yourself gets it 1 more. The attention to detail .9. Loved it.
