Review

IF that doesn't sell you, let me just say that this show is deceptively simple and deeply brilliant. Andy Daly's performance as Forrest is absolutely pitch perfect, by the end of the show you really feel like you've gotten to know and understand him and love him despite his many, many flaws.

His pure devotion to his "reviews" to the extent that he completely ruins everything good or decent about his own life is always difficult to watch but my sides are usually sore from laughing by the end.

Having not seen the Australian version I can't speak to that, but missing or dismissing this show because it's an American knock-off would be doing yourself a great disservice.

Genuinely one of the funniest shows I've ever seen. If you like Nathan For You or other surreal Comedy Central shows, strap in. It's a shame season 3 was so short because I could've watched 10 seasons of this.

A Very enjoyable farce in which the host is game for a laugh. The seriousness and commitment that Andrew Daly brings to the character is to be applauded. He reviews many life situations from the bizarre to the feared and delves in with enthusiasm that's to be admired. Everything from "being gay" to "murder" to "joining a cult". In short, try everything in life and review it!!!

I only hope it hasn't been cancelled or worse that the presenter hasn't died from heart failure.

Here I am reviewing "reviewed"

O the irony. I dare you not to laugh.

I don't know how I didn't know about this show when it actually aired and why it's not still on. The premise is such a brilliant idea and something I could definitely see being made into a realty show. The difference is the reality show would scrutinize the viewer suggestions for what to review and they'd pick the easy ones. I've seen Andrew Daly in the background of other movies/shows and I never thought one way or the other about him but he is spot on in this. Forrest MacNeil (Daly) is a married father of one son who has a review show on tv. He doesn't review books or food or movies, he reviews everyday life and gets his suggestions from viewers. It can be anything from eating 15 pancakes, having a best friend, to stealing, doing drugs, and making a sex tape. No matter the request he must do whatever the suggestion says and that's where the hilarity comes in.

Forrest MacNeil, the guy on TV who will review anything his viewers want, from the mundane to the life-changing. That's an awesome hook, but Andy Daly is a comic genius and runs like hell with it. The requests become progressively more impossible, so Forrest's life becomes self-destructive. Hell, it goes right down the tubes. Case in point: "What's it like to eat 30 pancakes?". Rating life experiences becomes ruinous for both him and pretty much everyone within his orbit (my god, his poor wife).

I honestly wasn't prepared for something so addicting. As soon as I finished the series run (22 episodes?!) I immediately wanted to start over. The replay value is astronomical, and for my money the pancakes episode is some of the best tragic comedy I've ever seen. You wouldn't think it'd be so fun to see this weirdo get absolutely wrecked, and just as clever as it is dark.

This show's amazing!
