Taskmaster watchseries. Brilliant, unique, hilarious. It has truly grown as a show over the past ten series, and I look forward to see it continue for years to come. Greg's dynamic with Alex and the contestants is almost always funny, and I love seeing everyone's differing approaches to the tasks (and their outcomes).
I hate myself for ignoring the number of ads I watched promoting the show. 2020 has been a year to forget but I will always remember it fondly for the year I binged and I binged on this absolute genius show. The task are excellent, the calibre of contestants is extremely high and Greg and (little) Alex Horne are the couple you look at and wonder 'who is the big spoon and who is the little spoon' just watch it! If you don't enjoy this show you don't deserve it!
I have rewatched this show over and over, introduced everyone I know to it and pounce on new episodes with glee!
The format is amazing, I love the tasks that Alex comes up with & that there's all kinds - artistic, athletic, intellectual, obscure.
the ridiculous authority of Greg with moments of softness that are super charming. (Checking on Knappit, hugging Katherine R., the bond with Asim)
I like the way they all take criticism & the way they put their all into things. That Alex considers feedback and adapts to it instead of ignoring it. (The stage tie task stands out for that, and made me feel even more stoked on TM.)
I can't decide whether the best bit is seeing how different people's brains work as they come up with task solutions, or trying to imagine how you would do the same task (yourself or with friends).
Fave season so far is Acaster's, but it's a testament to the awesomeness of this show that it's so hard to pick!
There is something special about the humor of Taskmaster. It is a funny combination of the subtle remarks of the comedians and the overtly absurd tasks they have to complete. Although the first few series are great, they still hadn't found that balance which series 4/5 onward nails. Greg Davies and Alex Horne's comedic chemistry is truly phenomenal. Also the music and editing is surprisingly good too.
10/10.
I've watched all seasons multiple times and it still has me in fits. No other show has me laughing like this one. The relationship between Greg and Alex is hysterical and I couldn't imagine any other duo pulling it off like they do. The mix of comedians is great and I've since gone on to enjoy many of them in other TV shows. The wait for each new season is unreal but totally worth it each and every time!
