The Horne Section TV Show

What I love about The Horne Section is that there are ordinary people out there who are not afraid to have silly fun with their friends and share that with us! I could not stop laughing! I wish, as adults, we were all this free to enjoy ourselves. Reviewers here are unhappy because they would like to see what they expect to see - a storyline that makes sense or goes somewhere or something - but all that stuff is beside the point. They're so innovative and joyousI They make me happy.

If you like Flight of the Concords or Shooting Stars, or Alex's 'banter' section at the beginning of Taskmaster, this is for you.

I hope in the second season we get more screen time with each of the band members and see more of their improvisation in the studio. I'm so glad musical comedy has been allowed back on the telly.

This is fun, immersive, slightly surreal, absolutely delightful. Low-stakes comedy punctuated by effortlessly superlative musicianship. It feels like a modern take on a1960s-1970s variety show somehow. (Like if they were to suddenly start fruging, or turn into muppets, I wouldn't be surprised.)

And it's PLAYFUL, and smart, and silly, and also not-smart. I mean, just everything you need to let your brain go on a little adventure in an (exquisitely enviable) amazing house for a bit.

The show centers around Alex Horne's attempt to create his own show with his band. He does play Little Alex Horne on Taskmaster, but he is very much second fiddle to Greg Davies off-camera, so he's looking for his big chance for his spotlight. It's "his" big chance, but really, it's the band and Desiree Burch doing heavy lifting.

Things it could do better: I wanted more Desiree Burch (in fact, all of the women), and more of the band. The band is unexpectedly funny (who would've thought!). My genuine laugh aloud moments were all from the band members!

Avoid this if you do not like light humor, short musical interludes, or if poop-type jokes aren't your thing.

Seek this out if you enjoy Taskmaster, Tim Key things, Alex Horne things, if you're a comedy nerd I guess, if you like light-hearted, fun, musical stuff, and are okay with having the NATO alphabet in your head for days on end.

If this doesn't get a second series (which. It. Should.), it should get some specials: a summer special, a holiday special, a new years special, etc. If it doesn't get specials (which. It. Should.), it'll rapidly turn into one of those short-run cult faves.

The taskmaster cinematic universe continues!!

This show is actually pretty fun! I had no idea what i was going into apart from it was about the band and was a comedy show and was pleasantly surprised !

It mainly is a show, about a show and Alex and his crew writing really random but hilarious music. Also, props to the band, they're really talented musicians and honestly they all play really hilarious characters!

The humour is quite niche, filled with purposefully cringy jokes and hilarious songs about peas and camels; Exactly what you'd expect from Alex Horne! I loved the random cameos too, Martin kemp was great and I loved Dr Ranj's segment about his car haha!

It's not everyone's kind of humour but if you enjoy Alex's segments on taskmaster then you'll love this! Awkward humour at its best!

The long-awaited sitcom has arrived. It's part-Mockumentary, part scripted, part improvised and has musical interludes from Alex's band consisting of some of the UK's most in-demand musicians.

What happens when Alex Horne & his real-life band accidentally get a live sitcom? The answer is: comedy & chaos. Light-hearted entertainment, super songs & high-quality videos.

The band play exaggerated versions of themselves & their special guests are happy to send themselves up. Want to know Big Zuu's hobby? What terrifies Anneka Rice? What does Greg Davies want with the band? Which member of the band can unicycle? What is it about Trumpeter Joe Auckland (Madness/Noel Gallagher) that spooks everyone? Find out in this series.

The well-directed music videos of some of The Horne Section's best-known songs are worth watching. The musicians have never acted before & they do really well for a first attempt. A second series will allow them to boost their confidence even further as well as bringing more of their wonderfully witty and clever songs to a wider audience.

I have to admit, I was a bit nervous about what this show would be like but I was so incredibly pleasantly surprised. Alex Horne's character (or "character") is funny, relatable and immensely likeable (even at his most infuriating); the guest stars like Greg Davies, Desiree Burch and Tim Key feel like gifts to Taskmaster fans worldwide; and I was delighted by all the little references and surreal moments (Biff Chippington in the credits of the show within the show spun off from the other show?? Amazing).

Every Taskmaster fan absolutely owes it to themselves to learn more about the genius that is Alex Horne by giving this show a watch. And people who've never watched Taskmaster absolutely owe it to themselves to watch both!!
