I liked season 1, watched it gradually. Wasn't in a rush to watch season 2.

However... Season 2 hits the sweet spot. The characters are more human, funny, deeper, and better developed. It's double the episodes (12) and I watched it in two sittings.

Deffo looking forward to a season 3 now.

The addition of more struggles for the Protagonists and the once off character appearances in certain stories really paid off.

It's funny, relatable, watchable and entertaining. A great TV comedy series. The romance angles suit the characters and stories too. The heels becomes faces and the faces become loveable.

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.

Is the show simple, yes, would someone who isn't familiar with Shane like it instantly, probably not, but that's the magic with everything Shane does. The writers Steven Gerben, John Mckeever and Shane have done a great job making something familiar but new, it could be compared to the office but it's really it's own beast because of the setting, this is male bestfriends doing what male best friends do and the humour that comes out is amazing. All cast members do a great job, the directing is good and the pace is solid once you are invested. Plus Shane earnestly leaning in and talking to Steven as Steven jumps between calmness and panic is a gem of a moment.

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.

The pilot felt like Curb with a more improvised feel and lots of space in between jokes. But in Episode 2, the jokes come faster, the writing improves, the editing gets slicker, and the human moments begin to hit. Overall I found it funnier than most sitcoms. The show leans more into the humor and less into plot, which is refreshing.

If you like Shane Gillis' standup you'll enjoy the show. If you don't appreciate standup or have a delicate sensibility, you'll probably find it offensive. And if you're one of those people hate watching to get offended and complain on Twitter, enjoy your manufactured outrage.

Overall, solid effort for a first season.
