ckny Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 I have so many questions. Is this a spoof trailer or a trailer for a spoof show? What is real?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradigor Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 It's a spoof of True Crime programmes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Runner Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 That looks funny but 8 episodes feels like they'd be dragging the arse out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gotters Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 I was bored by the end of the trailer, that is at best a short sketch for a few mins on something - 8 episodes, no thanks !! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comrade Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Yeah, this is a genuinely great show. The main accused kid does an incredible performance of a meathead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capwn Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Watched the first episode, it's really good. The saving grace is that there are good gags outside of the murder documentary satire AND on top of that I do find myself intrigued to see how the seemingly 'stupid' plot unfolds. I can see there being lots of twists and turns just like the documentaries it makes fun of, I think that's the key to making this work for 8 hours. Can't wait to watch the next episode.

K Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 This is absolutely fucking awful. I lasted about ten minutes, the only joke was the fact that someone had spray painted cocks into some cars. 'Making a Murderer' was funnier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrSpiggott Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 (edited) What a fantastic series, it really pulls you in with some brilliant writing. I would never have considered watching this without having seeing the reviews here first. It's definitely not a laugh out loud comedy, and I don't think it's meant to be. There's no slapstick or set pieces , but I'm grinning all the way through it. I think its closest in tone to the Christopher Guest films, so if you don't like Best in Show or Spinal Tap then you probably won't like this. It's also a really good procedural detective story.

Capwn Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Finished. Initially disappointed that there was no clear resolution but then if you think about it the shows that it satires (Jinx, TMAM and Keepers) have no true resolutions so in that sense I think it works. It also opens up the ridiculousness of the concept of possibly continuing the #whodrewthedicks question into further shows down the road. The joke of the show is that it's a 8 hour documentary about drawing dicks, it's quite fitting that the punchline is that 8 hours isn't enough to uncover the mystery.

Yeah, I was sold by watching the trailer thinking it was a straight up parody about drawing dicks on cars but it ended up being more than that. By the time I got to the final episode I'm like "but who drew the dicks?" The guy that played Dylan was fantastic. Also loved the show's intro had the character's credited.

OneDvBmbr Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Just binged this in a couple of days after seeing it on some year end lists. Absolutely loved it. It was definitely Christa who drew the dicks! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Mike Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 I really enjoyed this, and binged it all in two sprints. Thought it did an excellent job of treading the line between comedic and straightfaced spoof. But I agree with debaser, and disagree with K, so I'm worried I've malfunctiones. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capwn Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Ah, picks up again next episode. Phew. This character though. The actor is the ONLY one so far out of 50 or so that really over eggs her performance, a show like this really hinges on natural performance. Quite a few actors sort of over do a line here or there but this one is almost playing it like she's in an episode of TheOffice (US) or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What were you expecting from it? A laugh a minute parody? It's meant to be taken as a serious thing but about a stupid subject. It's has this weird thing about really making you invested in the charcters like its a real documentary even though its not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
