The Cabin with Bert Kreischer

First episode is really the only one worth watching. I laughed sooo hard at Joey, Tom and Bert. You can tell they are true friends and it shows through their flow together. The other episodes were okay. Some of it felt clustered and forced. After that first episode I had high hopes but the rest just didn't pan out, for me.

I laughed quite a bit (the first episode being the funniest) and yes, certain parts were obviously scripted; didn't care much for those segments, but they weren't bad enough to make me turn the program off.

Honestly, thought it could have been done better. More discussions, less activities. Fishing, hot tub, skinning and cooking animals while cracking jokes and then sitting eating, drinking, smoking cigars while telling funny stories and occasionally getting deep would have been better. P.S. Everyone offended by Ms. Pat clearly has never seen her perform before..that's just her; she's like that around everyone. When it's her and other comedians cracking on each other, it's funny, but it can come off mean when "normies" are involved. Bert should've known better than bringing a non-comedian around Ms. Pat.

I read every review. I feel like they are all correct in what they pick out about what works and what utterly fails in this series. Where I digress is in the scoring. The show is cringey, hack, contrived, it lacks the refined delivery of a standup special, or the spontaneity of a podcast and there is no narrative through line. There are silly, sometimes revealing bits, that occasionally give the viewer pause. Overall, it feels thrown together, a tad exploitative (as most reality tv tends to). Potential was there, and sometimes you see glimpses of what it could have been, but altogether it's a not-so-near miss. I suppose how much you hate it depends on how much you like the podcast circuit regulars. If I could give half stars, it would be a 6.5/10.

I really loved almost every stand-up comedy with Bert Kreischer. He has a way to bring his shows that stands out from the rest. He's never afraid of some self-deprivation, showing his not so perfect body and so on. But I enjoy the rest he does lesser. Well I still enjoy it but his stand-up comedies are just much better and he should stick with that. His reality shows look forced and rehearsed, and so was The Cabin. Nothing looked spontaneous and that's a letdown. His guests are good comedians as well (most of them) so that was interesting to watch. The third episode with Bobby Lee was the best in my opinion. All in all it's worth a watch if you don't mind Bert's nudity but it wasn't hilarious like he seems to think. Even his laughter looks and sounds rehearsed and that should for sure be spontaneous.

I'm not even sure what this show is supposed to be. Bert reveals its basically a scripted reality show but it has no substance. I thought the guest calling the Romanian lady a white bi*** over and over again was very cringe and not funny at all. The first episode with Joey and Tom make it seem like the rest will be fun but it immediately falls off after that. I stopped after they're laying on the floor laughing about nothing.
