The Horne Section TV Show

I watched the show as someone that is a Taskmaster fan and quite familiar with Ale'x work, so I wasn't surprised that the concept and the style of the show would work for me but to be honest I was a bit worried that this would be a too niche show for those that don't follow Horne's work close enough to get all the easter eggs and inside jokes.

On a rewatch with a friend that was not familiar with the band I could see that yes if you are a fan you will enjoy it a lot more, but at the end of the series my friend was interested to know more about the band. She really enjoyed the songs and how light it was. And I agree, in a world that everything has to have a plot twist, a dense plot just for the sake of trying to be the center of attention on Twitter this show is a gem! It is fun for the sake of being fun.

My only problem with the show was that I wanted more from the band and I hope that if they get a second series they get more attention and please guys do the classics!

Tim Key and Greg were amazing on it, Desiree Burch was quite good too!

If you are a fan of Horne or the band you are in for a treat, if you are not you might be one of us by the end of the series.

It is a bit odd, but I really enjoyed watching it. In some ways it reminds me of the radio 4 comedies I've always loved - quirky, wordplay with double entendre and meaning, sometimes a bit awkward. It's like comfort food or spending time with a good friend - easy to watch, friendly, enjoyable.

Some of the plot is perhaps a little rough around the edges, but that is more than compensated for by the fun music videos of Horne Section songs and interactions between the characters. I love that it is set in the taskmaster universe, definitely helps set the scene. It's also fun to try and spot Easter eggs that link to taskmaster and other things Alex had done (such as no more jockeys).

I enjoyed it so much that I'm on my second watch through, still trying to find those ducks that Alex hinted were hidden in every episode!

One of few sitcoms that's as good on second and third viewings, because there are so many jokes and references that you won't get them all on the first viewing. It's very Alex Horne, in the best possible way - clever, funny, silly, and quite insightful about power and what it does to people.

If you're familiar with Alex Horne's work, there are a lot of familiar faces and themes. The "Alex Horne" of the show is like a satire version of actual Alex Horne, and he sends himself up brilliantly. All in all, a sweet, delightful show that leaves you feeling happy and will brighten your day. Considering this is a first attempt at acting and scriptwriting, it is impressive. I hope we get more!

What I love about The Horne Section is that there are ordinary people out there who are not afraid to have silly fun with their friends and share that with us! I could not stop laughing! I wish, as adults, we were all this free to enjoy ourselves. Reviewers here are unhappy because they would like to see what they expect to see - a storyline that makes sense or goes somewhere or something - but all that stuff is beside the point. They're so innovative and joyousI They make me happy.

If you like Flight of the Concords or Shooting Stars, or Alex's 'banter' section at the beginning of Taskmaster, this is for you.

I hope in the second season we get more screen time with each of the band members and see more of their improvisation in the studio. I'm so glad musical comedy has been allowed back on the telly.

The long-awaited sitcom has arrived. It's part-Mockumentary, part scripted, part improvised and has musical interludes from Alex's band consisting of some of the UK's most in-demand musicians.

What happens when Alex Horne & his real-life band accidentally get a live sitcom? The answer is: comedy & chaos. Light-hearted entertainment, super songs & high-quality videos.

The band play exaggerated versions of themselves & their special guests are happy to send themselves up. Want to know Big Zuu's hobby? What terrifies Anneka Rice? What does Greg Davies want with the band? Which member of the band can unicycle? What is it about Trumpeter Joe Auckland (Madness/Noel Gallagher) that spooks everyone? Find out in this series.

The well-directed music videos of some of The Horne Section's best-known songs are worth watching. The musicians have never acted before & they do really well for a first attempt. A second series will allow them to boost their confidence even further as well as bringing more of their wonderfully witty and clever songs to a wider audience.
