The Oner

Amazing. Combines the best of comedy with the best of cinematography and story telling. You're not going to see a better episode of television this year. The one shot is well-crafted and perfectly timed. Rogen plays the Costanza role perfectly Barinholtz and O'Hara are marvelous. Watching this will spoil you for other television.

After the best show in years, Severance, just wrapped up its season on an all time high note, Apple TV comes back right away with what could be yet another generational tv show. With a star-studded and hilarious pilot, this show had me immediately hooked, yet somehow completely outdid themselves in this one. Seth Rogen's ability to callback (or bookend) everything that was previously setup throughout the episode made for constant building and paying off, with each moment of payoff making you laugh harder than the previous one. I loved the fact they were doing one shot per scene in the last episode, but this one they took it to a whole different level shooting the entire episode as a one shot (while the episode being about shooting a one shot helps add to the irony of the entire show). This one shot worked wonders in helping the chaotic moments feel crazier and making you feel as if you're on set experiencing this moment beside these characters. Just a brilliantly acted, shot, and especially written episode.

It annoyed me so much, that I had to skip to the end, when there were 2 minutes left.

Also, I had to turn apple tv off and walk a bit around my living room .

The fact that they pressed so much on the same annoying thing on and on was just too much for me.

And yes, I understand that the entire episode is a Oner, and probably it took a lot of work and talent to create, but it was still so annoying that I needed to take a breather.

All in all, is the new studio head supposed to be a complete imbecile ? He reminds me of Kramer, in Seinfeld. I sure I hope I will get to see at least a bit of character development, or at least a punishment fit for his character, in the end (kind of like Seinfeld, who got jail time at the end of the show). 😅😅

I listened to an interview with Seth Rogan on Dax Shepards podcast before I started watching it. I was looking forward to the series, but this episode is an absolute masterpiece. I'm not going to say it's "classic" Seth Rogan... but it's very Seth Rogan/ Evan Goldberg in every possible good way. Oners seem to be the new trend among filmmaking these days. This episode was so chaotic, hilarious, and intriguing. Im sever adhd so I always need to move or do something... I couldn't take my eyes off it. All the actors were perfect. I didn't give it a 10 but a 9 only because my anxiety was peaked the entire time. But in a hilarious way. Loved it. I don't write reviews, but this deserves one. Proud Canadian (Vancouver Canadian) love seeing a homegrown boy killing it. Evan and Seth (yeah I'm on one named basis) have grown so much and I love seeing it. Superbad was my movie back in the day. I just love seeing their friendship and partnership progress.

I am a harsh critic. I often have high expectations of my cinema and television, literature and music. I love shows that start with a fantastic script and so much forethought before they even yell action on day one of shooting. I rewatch The Wire and West Wing and The Office over and over again; not for any other reason except they're brilliant!

And I can tell you that this is one of the greatest TV episodes in the history of the medium. The episode title, topic, and shooting style are parallel each other. It's ingenious and funny and heartwarming and awkwardly cringe-worthy as well. Amazing!
