Late Comer: The Review Returns

Comedy Central's series Review returns tonight for a second season.  I am late to to this series and still catching up, but the idea that the main character could still be alive for additional episodes is amazing given all the horrible stunts he has had to perform on behalf of his audience.

If you are new to the show, it is basically about a fictional television show where the host of the show Forrest MacNeil, played by Andy Daly, will reenact any idea put forward by his viewers.  For instance, these are just a few of the things he was asked to do in the first season:

-- Demonstrate drug addiction,
-- Create a sex tape,
-- Sleep with a celebrity,
-- Act out road rage, and
-- Quit his job.

As you might imagine, these experiences wreak havoc on his personal life, and you hate the fact that it is all so enjoyable to watch.  You cannot help but sit on the edge of your seat and shake your head at the courage and foolishness wrapped up in one host.  And Andy Daly is great in this role.  In a review of the first season, Indiewire noted: 

It's the dad-like squarishness of Daly, who created and executive produces "Review," that solidifies the series and makes it so uncommonly entertaining.

The first season premiered in March 2014 and contained nine 30-minute episodes filled with plenty of danger and laughs.  While I am surprised he survived to see another day, I will be watching to see what happens next.
