Tires

The goal of this show is to make people laugh. That's it. It made my laugh a lot. Is it for everybody? No. Comedy isn't universal. That's why there are different varieties of comedy. If you didn't find this funny, that's cool. I did. Hence, the 9/10.

Shane nailed it. Stavros surprisingly can act. Heck, even Andrew Schulz had a decent go at it. For once, I didn't hate him.

Anyways, it was refreshing to see a show on Netflix that didn't worry so much about who it catered to or what story it told. It was just a casual comedy that doesn't take itself too seriously and in my opinion, that's exactly what comedies should be.

As a consumer, I am in love with work place comedies. TIRES definitely has potential to hit all the major needs for such a show. However, I felt that only 6 episodes for season one left us at a "cliff hanger" that didn't have enough time for the story and characters to develop where they needed to be. Idk if this was trust issues between Netflix and the writers but regardless the season needed way more episodes to keep people hooked. Would I watch season 2? Probably... HOWEVER, if it the plot isn't able to thicken and expand further than what they already have, then all I can say is bearish...

If there is any reason to watch this show, it is Steve Gerben - he makes this show what it is. The indie project aura of the trailer is exactly what you will receive in the show. Six, 20-minute episodes make the entire series an easy watch in one sitting. The show ramps up over time as characters slowly develop, although it feels like we never really get to know all of the cast due to the short series format. There are plenty of humorous moments, so long as you're willing to accept the premise of the show is looking through the narrow lens of a male dominated work environment. Steve Gerben plays a convincing role of ineptness and innocence, creating the perfect launching pad for comedic antics. With the announcement of Season 2 being ordered by Netflix, my only hope is the next go around has more time to highlight individual characters.

This was a fun watch. If you're already a fan of Shane and a few of his "gang" from the comedy world you'll like this a lot. Stavros was really good in the episodes as well and I was most surprised by his performance. Steve who played Will was very strong. In the end you get a good connection with allthe characters and I'm glad to hear season 2 is a GO from Netflix. The first couple of episodes are a little slow but they all find their stride. I really liked all the characters. Schultz even was likable. Shane of course, was enjoyable to watch and some of his lines were delivered with perfection.

The pilot felt like Curb with a more improvised feel and lots of space in between jokes. But in Episode 2, the jokes come faster, the writing improves, the editing gets slicker, and the human moments begin to hit. Overall I found it funnier than most sitcoms. The show leans more into the humor and less into plot, which is refreshing.

If you like Shane Gillis' standup you'll enjoy the show. If you don't appreciate standup or have a delicate sensibility, you'll probably find it offensive. And if you're one of those people hate watching to get offended and complain on Twitter, enjoy your manufactured outrage.

Overall, solid effort for a first season.
