Freelancers

The first time I watched this, I thought it was kind of funny. Every time after, I've been rolling on the floor dying. Great re-watch value; I'm always catching new jokes I missed at first.

Each of the characters presented are deceptively simple, each carrying a role that allows the interactions between them to be guessed at, yet each consistently and pleasantly surprises the audience with a laugh, whether they saw the joke coming or not. Jk!Studios is an amazing upcoming sketch comedy, and I can't wait to see where they go.

It reminds me a lot of New Girl. It features funny enough characters, although I don't appreciate how little Jason Gray, Natalie, and Jeremy Warner are used. Arizona is a great lead. She shows confidence and boldness in a way that displays humor so creatively. Ryan is an absolutely great addition. Never really to plot relevant, except for Season 2's premier episode, but he still has his moments, and always get a laugh with his child-like humor. Micah doesn't get a ton of lines but I really appreciate his relatability, even if the moments when that comes up are far and few between.

Overall the show is great. The only reason it isn't a 10/10 is because often the plot of the show kinda falls apart, and it's saved by a really bad ending, like a miracle switch where no matter what goes wrong, the characters are saved by some random gesture.

It's witty, funny, clean, and entertaining. You wonder at each episode how things are going to turn out. The writing is smooth as well. Matt Meese is one of my favorite actors! Scott Stirling will forever live!

Don't take offence at my title - it's not intended to insult anyone. This programme, however, is truly funny.

The cast, veterans of BYU's Studio C, only get better with each endeavour. If you watch some of their early work (see Divine Comedy) you will observe how far they have come. That's not to say that their early stuff was bad - it's just they have matured as a troupe and their production quality has improved tremendously.

The characterisations in this offering are outlandish, from Matt's 'man-boy' to Mallory's I-can't-even-define-what, eat-anything editor, to Whitney's attempts to keep them all on track to make a go of the firm. Honourable mention goes to Stephen, whose character Owen believes himself to be God's gift to women. Whitney (Meek's off-screen wife) must view Owen's antics with some trepidation.

So, take some time. View some of these folks' older efforts, then watch this show. I'm sure, like me, you will be looking forward to another series of Freelancers.
