Con Man

Watched it because we had nothing else and just stumbled into Con Man. Very short episodes, but it pulled us along until we were really looking forward to each new odd ball episode. I do hope this is coming back. It had a great cliff hanger. Recommended if you like wackiness that is played straight and somehow makes you think this could really happen--but, please god, don't let it.

It seemed like Con Man took a couple of episodes to find its tone, but once it did I began loving it. Yes, it makes fun of people attending cons, as a previous reviewer noted. It makes fun of people who work at cons. It makes fun of people who book cons. It makes fun of people who act in shows whose fans attend cons. In other words, everybody in this show is a little bit clueless and/or venal and/or crazy - and yet they're all likable and familiar. This isn't Great Art, but it's a hoot - and playing spot-the-SF-star is half the fun. (I had to look up "Dale," the elderly "lady stuntman," who turned out to be a Romulan commander from the original Star Trek. Like that.)

Damn. This is hilarious. I love the agent/booker, she's a blast. Tudyc is such a pompous ass in this. I don't know wether to root for him or not. He brlliantly plays both sides of a likable douchebag. Props to the short gay guy, the successful best friend, frodos buddy, the guy who wants his pen back and every other character in season 1. Hope to watch season 2 now. Looking for it.

Comedy about scify and the movie cons . Has bin actors who are pigeon holed in scify and the loss of opportunities in Hollywood. Thesesxarecfun witty hilarious short skits but all woven together by spoofing on firefly and serenity. Alan tudyk is a genius. The writing is smart ahumorous satire. Tudykwritescand directs some of the cast from Firefly. This tongue and cheek about movies, agents, and the dark side of the acting business gets increasingly rich from one skit to another. Scify is branded as a lesser genre and Tudyk elevates it with his humor. The cast and visiting actors keep it fun and lively.

It's a show about sci-fi actors, makers, movies, series and fandom.

Alan Tudyk is a genius, I had so much fun with this show. I could feel love oozing from every episode, the amount of cameos is insane.

It's short, 10m per episode, watch it. Even if you won't like it you'll lose 30 minutes tops.

P. S I have never given anything 10/10.
