Reviews

Vashirdfel Simply A Masterpiece
Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.
FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
jij98111 Hollywood writers give us another PC lecture couched in some sick bathroom based humor. The series had potential until politics took over. Tired about hearing how white folk are racists all the time.
bjarias ..the first season was alright.. it was not until the fifth episode of the second season that we totally appreciated how good it is, but only when they are both a part of the proceedings.. ..it takes the talents of both Azaria and Peet to make this production work....those shows without her were just lacking her infectious spark.. ..without her it's like only half the team is on the field.. ..hope she sticks around.. if not, lots of folks won't be either..
andrewgraemek As a massive fan of Hank Azaria I was always going to be slightly bias towards this show but it's creativity, uniqueness and level of dialogue was second to none. Perfect binge watching I saw right through in one day. Azaria hold the cast together and with supporting roles from Peet and Jackson Williams that fit perfectly with the level of comedy. Character creating is essential and Azaria seems to have perfected this for USA in the way Steve Coogan did for the UK with Alan Partridge. Not for young kids.....this is one for adults to enjoy.
ruthlessroddy I had heard about this show but soon realized I don't get the IFC channel, but I do get AMC and was able to watch it on there (for those who may be in the same boat with IFC). I went through the first 5 episodes in an afternoon and laughed my butt off. Azaria's character Jim is both despicable and lovable at the same time because you just don't know what he's going to say next. Everything that comes out of his mouth is either a story with an immoral 'moral' to tell, or is just his brutal, frank way of being a man who just doesn't give a cr*p what anybody thinks. Peet (AKA Jules) is the team's owner who needs Brockmire's name (albeit disgraced in the public eye) to help revive her bush-league baseball team, in an otherwise would-be small town where most people look like they haven't showered in weeks. The chemistry between owner and announcer is dysfunctional, yet undeniable at the same time. And then there's the young naive intern Charles, pitted in-between them and trying help anyway he can while generally astonished at the behavior of just about everybody around him, including the game of baseball itself which he barely understands. Everything clicks nicely and the laughs are there for the taking, after the initial shock of what is said and done by the many characters involved. You don't have to be a fan of baseball to enjoy this show, but if you are, you will only appreciate the shows humor and setting even more. I hope they can stretch a lot out of this shows concept, because the story line works great, but for how long will only be determined by the quantitative talents of the writers. But for now, so far so funny, very very funny... I eagerly await episode 6...
