The Chair Company

I can't know how to hear any more about tables, which is why I am more to happy to talking about chairs. Tim Robinson is simply too good in this thrilling and unraveling mystery about a company that is both everywhere and nowhere at the same time. This version of Tim Robinson's character is a bit different than the one he played in Friendship. This man has a lot to lose. He has respect from his coworkers, a family that loves him, a car that he doesn't have to share for his wife's flower business. He has it all. I fully expect this series to push the boundaries when it comes to shows about office furniture, but for now we're on chairs...and this show delivers the chairs. Unlike his recent feature film "Friendship" (which has absolutely no friendship in it), this show delivers the goods immediately, and I for one expect it to continue doing so until the very end. A++

Someone suggested this show to me, and honestly I put it off because I cannot stand Tim Robinson's schtick. I've pretty much panned on this site everything he's done.

I finally relented and glad I did. Yes, it's still a weird show, and yes, Robinson is his usual awkward self, but he's finally found a balance that doesn't make him a chore to watch. This Robinson I can handle.

The acting, pacing, and story are all top notch. Yes, it's silly, but has just enough intrigue and comedy to help it glide right along. I find myself -needing- to watch the next episode immediately at the end of each, a feeling I haven't had since Breaking Bad.

Kudos, Mr. Robinson. Maybe I was wrong about you.

There are too many people giving it 1 star because they don't know Tim Robinson's shtick. It's weird and crazy and I think it's hilarious. If you like ITYSL then you'll enjoy this. If that's not your cup of tea then stay away. You're not going to find anything else like this on HBO.

The plot is great and I can't wait to see where it goes.

First episode sucked me right in. Another gem by Tim Robinson exploring the fragile male psyche. I won't spoil what leads him to be distracted and obsess when he should be enjoying his success but it has me wondering what other rabbit holes this show will take me down. Looking forward to more episodes. Sunday nights are back on HBO again.

Watched the first episode - bizarre in the best way. What starts as a simple office accident quickly spirals into a surreal mystery packed with awkward humor and unease. Tim Robinson perfectly balances frustration, paranoia, and comedy. A weird but fascinating start that definitely kept me curious for what's next .
