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++

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'm new to the comic genius of Tim Robinson, and I do think he is a comic genius. He somehow has created a universe with his characters which baffles and bemuses me. I admire how he has leveraged what is odd and interesting about him (as a comic) into curious, weird, and hilarious characters.

His latest is for this latest series is off to a great start. I look forward to seeing how he draws us into his strange world and odd paranoia. My only disappointment is that I cannot consume all the episodes at once. I'll settle for waiting week to week.

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.

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.
