I was expecting it to be another self-loathing British show or one of those shitty Daily Show ripoffs that form so many RMer personalities, but it seems like it was concerned with actually being funny instead of preachy. Good job.

Agree, just watched episode 1 and laughed out loud several times. Great comedic timing and delivery from that lady

Cunk is hilarious. I only found out about her a few months ago, but apparently she's been doing her thing for years.

Burned through all 5 episodes of Cunk On Earth. Yeah, this show is hilarious.

I'm going to have to find more of her stuff. I need more Cunk in my life.

at least in the first ep is kinda of a intrigue show on a casino in Las Vegas, and the main character has some kind of power that allows her to tell if people is lying or not.
I couldnt finish ep 2 of Poker Face so im out

Veggie, I've got a bone to pick with you, pal. I downloaded the entire first season of Tulsa King after you sang its praises on multiple occasions.

This show is embarrassingly bad. The dialogue is some Kevin Smith level shittery. Endlessly corny and unrealistic. Also, Stallone punching people and mumbling things is hardly a noteworthy performance. Honestly, what the fuck?

I'm not mad, just... disappointed.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I love what Sheridian mostly paints in his projects...although in all fairness, this is more of a Terence Winter joint. I love Stallone mumbling and being all violent here and kinda think his interactions with most of the cast are sweet.

The ending was rushed yes.

Big fan of Cunk, not everything lands but there’s so many jokes packed in that it doesn’t really matter

Bart gets it. We are through episode 3 and it's a little repetitive compared to the first two, but some of the jokes are so good that it's impossible not to laugh.

I lost it when she replied "What an idiot" after the professor said that Jesus wouldn't have been killed if he didn't tell everyone that he was the son of God.

This guy is the most boring, yet somehow annoying character I believe I've ever seen. I'm so glad he's barely in season 2.

Haha yeah, fuck that guy. I wonder if he’s why it took me so many episodes to buy into SC.
