Every episode made me laugh, laugh HARD. I really recommend this show to anyone looking for a funny, exciting and "I'm really looking forward to their next season" type of show. Made extremely well and the story is actually brilliant! Another cool aspect is that it's not set in a typical 'Hollywood' setting: it's set in a Canadian city and take a new, and to be honest refreshing, spin on what funny really is. Hope you watch it. YOU'RE WELCOME in-advance.
This show is so weird and out there and won't appeal to everyone. However, I think it is absolutely brilliant. It blurs the line between whats real and not real. They figured out legal loopholes to straight up use copyrighted material for free. The setups and payoffs are perfect. I love the story, the characters, everything. It's such a shame the network shut down before they could do more. And the show's only downfall is that it's so hard to find. Please give it a chance if you can track it down. One day hopefully it gets the recognition that something like "Nathan For You" now has. 10/10. Cannot wait for the movie.
Matt Johnson and Jay McCarrol have created something spectacular, something different to anything I've ever seen. This show is living proof that a big budget doesn't make a show good, its about the creativity put into it. I honestly believe that both Matt and Jay are comedy genius's and that this show ranks as one of the best comedies ever. Nirvana the band the show deserves 100 times more attention than its already getting.
From "The Dirties" Matt Johnson's Nirvanna the Band the Show is the most unique experience I've had. It takes the real world element to a point where the comedy can flourish from while not becoming too gimmicky and a crutch. The humour derives from the interactions, jokes, references to film and the charm between Jay and Adam. The rewatchability of the show further boasts its merit as one will notice references, foreshadowing and background jokes they may have missed. Would recommend to everyone.
My Home Country of Canada has few shows that are of any value. Nirvanna The Band The Show aims to fix that with gut busting comedy & clever satire/parodies. Matt & Jay's comedy flows naturally and they work well off each other. This show does a good job In selling the tourism for Toronto and making it look like a wonderful place to visit. I pray that Season 3 can find a home now that Vice Canada has hit the dust. I watched both seasons on City TV back home so we can only hope they can find the rights for Season 3. This is the best Television Show that Canada has ever produced & hardly anyone knows of it. This is a masterpiece & my favourite non animated comedy. Give it a go
