Con Man (2015–2017)

Would be 6/10 if properly funded

[7/10 · 5 May 2024]

The show is definitelyyy super funny at times and also enjoyable at others, so it for sure deserves my 'shadow 6' rating.

Because, I am crestfallen to say, other times it's completely braindead and at some points objectively random. Truly, fully and completely random, as if written by the poor intern forced to take notes during one of Alan Tudyk's mushroom trips.

I know I'll get some "Not Helpfuls" for this, but please look no further than season 1 episode 11's elderly 'stuntlady' character.

Everything about this character was for sure the spawn of one of these trips. So before you click that NH button, let's have a moment of silence for the still suffering intern ;)

Those Who Can't (2016–2019)

Genuinely hilarious, intentionally crass

[9/10 · 16 April 2024]

After seeing so many bad reviews, this is one of those shows that you only glance at in desperation. Yet I found myself watching the full pilot.

By the time it ended, I had laughed out loud multiple times and was fully engaged in the series. The show is absurd, crass, raunchy and just plain funny. WAY better than most of the sitcoms out there.

I genuinely think the bad reviews were just a product of the times. Because there are plenty of shows with much worse content that all seem to do fine and aren't horribly panned as this show was.

Moral of the story is this is for sure worth checking out!
