The network initially ordered eight episodes for the first season run, but so much extra content was left over that a ninth episode was made and aired, too. Review stars Andy Daly as critic Forrest MacNeil, who does not review boring things like films, food or art. Instead, Forrest reviews the most intense experiences of life itself -- by living them. From the dangers of drug addiction to the joys of sleeping with a celebrity, Forrest fully commits to showing us what life feels like, sometimes at the expense of his family and humanity in general.
Comedy Central is hot like a Georgia biscuit (is that a thing?) right now, with several series pushing the art of humor-deliverance to new highs. One such program is Review.
Review is not a nice show. Its brand of humor is cynical, nihilist, and not above being cruel; this is a comedy about the foibles of human existence, so when it lands, it hurts.
The beauty of Review is in how it takes small, strange ideas (like Forrest investigating public restroom "glory holes") and strings them together into a larger story about how the pundit suffers for his art.
