GazerRise Fantastic!

FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

R. Silver I've watched a few episodes so far and it's hilarious. It's the same sort of over-the-top, don't-take-it-too-serious sort of humour as The Office was. I mean, it's Victorian era setting with Snoop Dogg intro music.The characters and dialogue are really funny, and just how they make such fun out of what those times must have been like - even though when looking at it, there's a stark reality that reminds you, some of what you're seeing WAS really how it was.It's a show about gossiping girls and the comings and goings of their home. I'm a guy and usually HATE those stupid reality housewife and kardashians and all that. But I find the script so funny and the girls so dumb, that I love it. Actually, I like it more than my girlfriend so far, which is weird.Oh well.

chavakirk I was excited about this new series as I like Victorian Era shows. It's Supposed to be a comedy. Episode 2 starts right off with an aristocratic lady raping a servant man. His protest are mocking and belittling to real rape victims. Then he goes around with exaggerated sadness and mocking tears. Disgusting.I turned it off. I love comedies. Making fun of rape victims is not funny. It cruel and callous. Won't be watching anymore of this series. I'm quite surprised it has received good reviews and that no one has batted an eye at this. I wish more people would stand up and say this isn't right. Just another setback for those who have fought for justice. SMH.

namedujour I was expecting this to be Drunken History, which to me is a one- joke show. (We get it. You're drunk.) No offense to Drunken History fans. Instead, it's apparently a spoof on Downton Abbey, featuring the upstairs and downstairs characters, except that they're in Newport, RI, which is where Downton Abbey's Lady Cora comes from. Throw in a little 30 Rock (or lately The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt) wacky, over-the- top characterizations, and Arrested Development in pacing and being completely skewed, and there you go!It actually pulled some real and totally unexpected gut-busting laughs from me. Since it takes place in 1902, they're unapologetic in being completely, crassly, politically incorrect. Women are certainly not safe from the satire, depicted as Lillian and Beatrice. But they take shots at everything, without remorse. One of their first victims in the pilot is the deaf and blind Helen Keller, for instance. They then meander through appalling (and hilarious) pot shots at race, which at that time in our history included "the Irish." (I think you need to have a slightly sick sense of humor, actually.)In addition, you have the pleasure of watching actors from The Office and Madmen, Jack Black, and any number of other familiar faces coming and going. It isn't a Tina Fey production, but it kind of has that feel to it, which is a high complement. I'm sure she somehow inspired it.I think it's great!

gohurdler1 This will be a short review for the Comedy Central "comedy" "Another Period." I have the main stars of the program (Natasha Leggero and Riki Lindhome) on my Instagram feed, and was seeing photographs of them dressed in period costumes. I thought, "Oh they must be doing an episode of the hilarious Comedy Central hit 'Drunk History.'" Then I kept seeing more, and more of the photographs, and thought, "Are they shooting multiple episodes of 'Drunk History?'"Then I started to see promos on Comedy Central for "Another Period." I then realized what all of the Instagram photographs in period attire were for.I wanted to like the program, but too be blunt it just isn't that funny. There are too many comedians on the show trying to play their roles straight, and in-turn they fall flat, and just come off as bad actors. Some exceptions Thomas Lennon (Marquis de Sainsbury) who seems to be hilarious in whatever he does, Christina Hendricks (Celine aka Chair) who isn't a comedian by trade, so she can actually act and is able to play the character straight with ease, Lauren Ash, and Kate Flannery from the U.S. version of "The Office." Most of the characters are annoying, and not very likable.It's almost if series creators Leggero and Lindhome said, "Hey "Drunk History" is pretty darn funny, why don't we just have a show focus on the same characters over and over like a parody of "Downtown Abbey," but without the funny lip syncing to someone who is is drunk?" Jeremy Konner who co-created "Drunk History" is an executive producer, and director on "Another Period."Going back to the show not being very funny, I tried to watch season one/episode three more than once and I couldn't stay awake. It is definitely NOT "Drunk History," but more of a "Saturday Night Live" skit that went on for too long.There are some chuckles here and there, but I really can't recommend the show. If you really want to see Riki Lindhome be funny, watch her on season one repeats of "Garfunkel & Oates," with Kate Micucci on IFC.I would be very shocked and surprised if there is a season two, but the show is on during the summer, which usually means less competition for viewers.
