I can see why some people wouldn't like this show, it's very random and crazy but in my opinion that's why it's so funny! There is always a great selection of comedians on it too!!
When I first heard of this show, I wasn't particularly interested in the format, but when I finally gotten around watching two episodes, I found it hilarious.
I like the overall format, in which you try to come up with a feasible response to the most hypothetical scenario, whenever its getting a statue built in your town, wearing a puppet on your hand for an entire year, or even stopping an assassination while as a cat. I did like the parts where James Acaster does imitations and brief one liners, and I also liked the fact some of the comedians were originally in Taskmaster (which is a show I'd consider to be worth watching).
The format reminds me of Would I Lie To You and Mock The Week, and I found it to be unique and fun.
I'm only going to give this eight stars however, because I think there are (mostly) minor improvements that could be done. I'm not too keen on the long running time, which I felt it would be best suited for a half-hour programme.
Although I'm not that much of a fan of panel shows, I feel Hypothetical is a good one to watch.
8/10

Seems like the guys on the show are having a nice time but really not enjoying it. Contrived, enineered and the opposite of what's it's meant to be.. competition between 2 teams? Sadly, not for me.
How good each episode of a show like this is will always be heavily dependent on the guests that week. Unfortunately that's a problem here, when you have to Google half of the them just to see who they are. And it quickly becomes clear that they aren't better known because they just aren't funny or entertaining. However, there are some good moments, and James Acaster is really the biggest reason to watch it.
I absolutely love this show but it would be nothing without James Acaster! The man has me in tears every episode
