Holliston

I love this show and can not wait until the new season comes out! A great mix of comedy and gore!

Holliston is an excellent sitcom for horror fan!

Starring Adam Green & Joe Lynch, Holliston is a funny sitcom that reminds me of How I met your mother ... with a little gore!

With some dirty or politically incorrect jokes, with Dee Snyder from Twisted sister being hilarious, many cameos from horror actor such as Kane Hodder, Tony Todd or Danielle Harrisson! Holliston has become one of the best TV show i've seen in years! I couldn't stop laughing out loud!

Might not have enough gore for my taste, but mind the details, this show is awesome! If you like horror/gore related TV show, your should check out the following : Death Valley, Todd and the book of pure evil, Reaper !

I saw a review from someone that comes from Holliston bashing this. Because they're from the town this is "based" in? Middle finger goes to you. If you are a fan of ariescope and everything they do, you will LOVE this show. Adam is great, Joe is great, and everyone involved is great. It's a mashup of great actors, directors, and talent that if you are a fan of the genre, you will LOVE. I grew up watching horror movies and in high school got introduced to Adam's work and have been a huge fan ever since. If you have a sense of taste to horror,comedy, and like Adam's work or ariescope, CHECK THIS OUT!!!!

All the other reviews for this show are 10s or 1s so I figured I would throw in my two cents in case anyone wanted a middle ground.

Basically this show is OK. At its core it is a standard copy/paste generic cliche sitcom where you can predict lines halfway through episodes you've never seen before. HOWEVER, Adam Green has made this mediocre sitcom his own (and worth giving a watch) by adding the following toppings to this otherwise nothing-burger:

1. Random scenes of 'extreme' gore. They often do not make sense, or even add anything to the plot, but there's more blood in any given episode than the entire Friend's series - and to me that's a good thing.

2. Random 4th wall breaks. The show is painfully scripted, but that just makes the 4th wall breaking (occurs totally randomly) actually feel fresh and amusing. A plus.

3. BEST FOR LAST: Dave Brockie and Dee Synder. These two carry the show. Laura Ortiz does a great job, and has the best overall character, but Holliston is less about 'Holliston' or 'Adam Green's life' and more about just enduring the show and waiting for Dee and Dave to show up. Seeing Oderous Urungus in full garb give advice to Adam and occasionally complaining about life on Scumdogia or pondering his love of Slymenstra Hymen always puts a smile on my face. Any Gwar fan should watch this show if they haven't already. As great as Dave is (was, RIP) I think Dee Synder does an even better job. Seeing a hair band icon play a 'too old to rock' van halen cover/tribute band front-man is hilarious. Dee has always been an 'on-screen' personality and knows how to be perfectly over the top. His character gets funnier as the series progresses and the season 2 finale had me laughing until I teared up (at Dee Synder's new music video). As an old metal head, I probably found it funnier than I should have - but I loved it nonetheless.

If you're still reading my rant. Stop its over. Watch Holliston, its not great, but its better than most of the worthless crap on TV these days.

If you're a true horror movie fan, then you'll appreciate this comedy show which oozes references to numerous horror movies, and has some horror celebrity guests.

It's from Adam Green, director of Hatchet I and II; and Joe Lynch, director of Wrong Turn 2 -- they play themselves as struggling horror directors. The way they make fun of everything, including themselves, is hilarious and refreshing. It might seem like so much cliché to the untrained, non-horror fan, but it's actually done on purpose and is much more than that.

The supporting casts are gems in their own right and equally funny and outrageous. They make silly, the new sexy, so to speak.

All in all, it's great cheesy fun. Something I haven't seen in comedy shows for a long time. I look forward to many more episodes of this and would definitely recommend this to friends.
