The Chair Company

Someone suggested this show to me, and honestly I put it off because I cannot stand Tim Robinson's schtick. I've pretty much panned on this site everything he's done.

I finally relented and glad I did. Yes, it's still a weird show, and yes, Robinson is his usual awkward self, but he's finally found a balance that doesn't make him a chore to watch. This Robinson I can handle.

The acting, pacing, and story are all top notch. Yes, it's silly, but has just enough intrigue and comedy to help it glide right along. I find myself -needing- to watch the next episode immediately at the end of each, a feeling I haven't had since Breaking Bad.

Kudos, Mr. Robinson. Maybe I was wrong about you.

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.

If you like Tim Robinson's work you will love this. If you don't like Tim Robinson's work you will hate this. If you've never been exposed to Tim Robinson's work you will know within the first 2 minutes of the show if this is for you or not.

As a huge TR fan, this is possibly the hardest any of his shows has made me laugh.

As I watch the genius that is Tim Robinson I can't help but wonder if the quality and nuance of his acting is overlooked by the hilariously offbeat dialogue and odd situations in every scene of The Chair Company.

Only someone with Robinson's talent can make this work so effectively.

Insert any other modern comedy actor into the role of Ron Trosper and The Chair Company would come off as far less believable.

Make no mistake about it........ Tim Robinson is an actor and a damn fine one.

Robinson has managed to create a new type of comedy over the last few years and has achieved the impossible task of making each series better and better.

Thankfully The Chair Company rises to the very top.

Robinson's comedy style may appear simple to the casual watcher, but ask any true fan of his work and they will gladly take you down the rabbit hole of his genius.

Robinson has achieved a cult following among his loyal fans and I consider him among the greatest modern comedy writers and actors working today.

The Chair Company will undoubtedly win a Primetime Emmy for outstanding comedy series and I look forward to every future project Robinson creates.

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.
