Grosse pression

Mr Billis has done a most satisfactory job with this serialised comedic play of fools. I especially liked the setting.

Having worked in the field of tyres for over a decade, I can tell you one thing, tyres aren't easy. They can be a cruel fish.

I call tyre work, rubbing rubber, because tyres is a life of rubbing up against rubber.

Interesting fact: The phrase, rub of the green, actually comes from tyre work. The old Dunlop racing range of tyres used by Jaguar F1 in the early 50s, came with a green line that encircled the rim. These tyres were very successful for Jaguar, hence the phrase, rub of the green, meaning, to be lucky.

This was a fun watch. If you're already a fan of Shane and a few of his "gang" from the comedy world you'll like this a lot. Stavros was really good in the episodes as well and I was most surprised by his performance. Steve who played Will was very strong. In the end you get a good connection with allthe characters and I'm glad to hear season 2 is a GO from Netflix. The first couple of episodes are a little slow but they all find their stride. I really liked all the characters. Schultz even was likable. Shane of course, was enjoyable to watch and some of his lines were delivered with perfection.

As a consumer, I am in love with work place comedies. TIRES definitely has potential to hit all the major needs for such a show. However, I felt that only 6 episodes for season one left us at a "cliff hanger" that didn't have enough time for the story and characters to develop where they needed to be. Idk if this was trust issues between Netflix and the writers but regardless the season needed way more episodes to keep people hooked. Would I watch season 2? Probably... HOWEVER, if it the plot isn't able to thicken and expand further than what they already have, then all I can say is bearish...

I might be a little bias with this review but sign me up for anything Shane Gillis. Anything and everything he has put out, I've enjoyed. Tires is a short and light show that takes place entirely in a tires shop. Horribly mismanaged and filled with lackadaisical workers. Shane Gillis and company poke fun at themselves as well as poking fun at others. It's extremely familiar in the sense that everyone has worked with these people in some fashion. Tires is the perfect watch if you want to relax and have a few laughs by yourself or with friends. If you're on lunch and you just want to throw something on while you eat than look no further. You'll probably breeze through the episodes but season two has already been green-lit so more is on the way.

If there is any reason to watch this show, it is Steve Gerben - he makes this show what it is. The indie project aura of the trailer is exactly what you will receive in the show. Six, 20-minute episodes make the entire series an easy watch in one sitting. The show ramps up over time as characters slowly develop, although it feels like we never really get to know all of the cast due to the short series format. There are plenty of humorous moments, so long as you're willing to accept the premise of the show is looking through the narrow lens of a male dominated work environment. Steve Gerben plays a convincing role of ineptness and innocence, creating the perfect launching pad for comedic antics. With the announcement of Season 2 being ordered by Netflix, my only hope is the next go around has more time to highlight individual characters.
