The Chair Company

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.

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 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.

There are too many people giving it 1 star because they don't know Tim Robinson's shtick. It's weird and crazy and I think it's hilarious. If you like ITYSL then you'll enjoy this. If that's not your cup of tea then stay away. You're not going to find anything else like this on HBO.

The plot is great and I can't wait to see where it goes.
