Taskmaster (TV Series) How Heavy Is the Water? (2023) User Reviews

May be the best episode of the series

[nakrugt · 10/10 · 30 April 2023]

This may be the best episode of the series. Not only are the contestants in a fierce rivalry, but also Frankie Boyle even takes it seriously. I have to be honest here, the argument on the definition and etymology of the words "throw" and "cast" made me laugh the most.

And the face of Kiell Smith-Bynoe makes it much and much more memorable and much and much more fun to watch the show. Greg Davies' decisions also, naturally, make it more fun, but I must admit it is more fun this way.

I watched the same part over and over again at least six times and each and every time I laughed hysterically.

The best episode of the series, I believe so far.

Fairness??

The single worst example of biased judging we've seen from Greg so far. Appalling and for a contestant who offers nothing in terms of humour.

Only for the fact the the remaining four contestants don't seem to care this could have and should have stirred more of a controversy. One wonders if Greg is worried he might be attacked for not giving Mae as many points as he can. He has proven before to be overly concerned about how he comes across so it's believable that he feels it's safer to give Mae the points than suffer the ire of the far left. Maybe all the walking on eggshells around what to call Mae has made him nervy around Mae in general.

Either way, it's resulted in disastrous viewing.

1 star because of letting cheating they may get 5 points.

Enough said in the title. I was angered by this episode so much that it forced me to write my first review on here.

I love taskmaster so much. But it's getting destroyed by this one very boring contestant that is cheating. And Greg Davies who is notorious for not letting cheaters get away with it is allowing May to get away with whatever they want.

They need to up their game for the next season, as this has been shocking.

Can't believe how highly rated this episode is. I was literally raging watching May cheat in the task, and it forced me to fast forward it. Never have I had to do that before watching this show.

Sort it out C4.
