I haven't followed Maniscalco's stand up in general, but I caught a glimpse of this and got intrigued. The 'reservation' bit was hilarious, I reposted it, kept using it in a few of my general convos, and couldn't wait to watch the whole thing.

When I finally got around to it, I think the show started pretty well. The throw back to when people 'dressed up' to go out was nice and nostalgic, some good relatable relationship stories, and his demeanor for the show was pretty amusing. Laughs in the crowd, all was good.

By half way mark, he somehow lost the crowd. I think it was around the 'dog' story. From there on, everything became less and less relatable, and the crowd kept getting quieter and quieter. Couple of mild laughs here and there, but overall was very hard to watch.

Would def recommend watching the first half of this, but then go back to whatever you're doing and leave the second half to play in the background. Definitely interested in watching more of his previous material now though to see what I've been missing.

I've heard of extreme couponing but this takes things to a complete other level. The movie is based on a true story, some elements are changed but quite a lot of it is true to the actual events. Kirsten Bell is great, this girl has crazy range, Kirby (Jojo) does a nice fun job as her sidekick, and Paul Walter does an awesome job as the 'Coupon detective' who's obsessed with cracking the case. The only main disappointment is seeing Vince Vaughn; this role could have been funny as hell especially the dynamic with Paul, but his acting just feels overly dry, almost like he doesn't wanna be there. Everyone else in the movie picks up the weight though - overall a fun, exciting chase through making crazy money from extreme couponing.

Started this and thought it was a nice light thing to watch, especially judging by the trailer and the beginning of the first episode. It was pretty funny, very well shot, acting is great. Binged a few episodes and it seemed to get darker and darker until half way through the season and holy hell, that went a whole different way. This is an amazing show, it definitely isn't 'light watching' though. Had to switch it off and watch a few episodes of 'is it cake' just to clear our palette 😂 It's amazing but we really weren't ready for that, we really just wanted some light viewing, but it does grip you and reel you in to watch more. Probably needs a warning at the beginning because it was disturbia central up in here.
