    Acaster is Amazing

    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!!

    Just not funny

    While James and Josh are funny on other panel shows (would I lie to you, QI etc) Hypothetical just isn't funny and neither of them can raise this show to those levels. At an hour long it's actually painful waiting for a genuinely funny moment to happen. Gave it a go but have given up now, it's mediocre at best. The Dave channel really needs to try a lot harder to find a replacement for Taskmaster.

    Good in parts

    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.

    This would be awful without Acaster

    I absolutely love this show but it would be nothing without James Acaster! The man has me in tears every episode

    Who is this enteraining ?

    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.
