The Chair Company

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.

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++

Tim plays almost an identical character from his movie Friendship. He plays this well however. The show for now has time to get weirder, in a good way. Looking good forward to see where it lands. If the writing gets stronger and plot gets wilder this could be really good. Time will tell. Tim's yelling never gets old.

I was sold on the line "You gave me that paper too hard!" in episode one. That's when I knew I was in for a funny, weird ride.

I see a lot of people saying it's similar to the movie "Friendship," but I feel like it's just a long, continuous, awesome episode of "I think You Should Leave." Friendship was more cinematic, but this feels like an ITYSL skit that just keeps going and doesn't let up.

What also makes it so great, is how relatable it is. Not just for people who work in an office, but for people who thrive in any kind of society where we are drowning in a sea of mundane social norms and expectations.
