Would It Kill You to Laugh?

I gave 2 stars for 2 kinda descent skits. The dance class and the foot rub. Sadly neither of those made me laugh, they just weren't excruciating to watch. I guess I just don't get comedy these days, because this sucked. Hate it too because I thought these two would make me laugh.

Hilarious, highly-sophisticated genre-bending show in the mold of the British League of Gentlemen or Inside No.9. Ostensibly, the frame story is about a duo of actors of a an embarrassingly idiotic show which, after years of trying to destroy each other are reunited in a talk show, which provides them with the final opportunity to - well - destroy each other. Or perhaps to make amends. Or maybe something else is going on? There are enough clues to make you wonder what exactly are you watching, what's "real" and what the parody. What is the show and what is the show about the show. So yeah, amazingly witty and complex, and also goofy and slap-sticky. Brilliant.

Just when the world seems to be careening off a cliff, deuxmoi scoops that Kate and John have reunited on Peacock after their devastating falling out years ago. I rushed to watch and spent the next hour lol'ing heartily, just like in the old days, when a glass of natural wine cost but $10. Just then, as the scent of hot caramel (or was it toast????) wafted through my living room, I felt a twinkle of something I hadn't since before my divorce. A sense of H O P E.

Kate and John, carry on!!!!

John Early is one of the most underrated comedians of our generation. Loved watching him back in action. Truly happy he and Kate Berlant finally got their own show. So well deserved and long overdue!

These two are absolutely hilarious together. A fair amount of the sketches fall flat and the reoccurring joke of hot plates and melted caramel didn't hit for me, but the interludes of Meredith viera interviewing them is pure comedy gold. I was laughing so hard I nearly chocked. Watching them discuss who got to keep certain comedic mannerisms was brilliant. I recommend if you're already a fan but if you're not on their comedic wavelengths you're gonna have a hard time clicking into this one.
