Watchseries; When I heard Toast was headed to Hollywood, I said to myself, "Where do I sign up?!" 😜
Enjoyable, bizarre, but fun season. One definitely can tell it touches on some of the shady sides of 1960's -70's-esque L. A., but in a fun way. This is evident too in the retro title cards, and even the intro is a spoof on the BBC's 1970's Shadows program intro.
Less over the top, and less songs since TOL moved from Channel 4, and the first two episodes are almost table setting with cameos. The rest become more typical style episodes. All of the supporting cast returns. Different, as it is intended to be, but still classic Matthews/ Berry humor. ðŸ‘

Toast of Tinseltown watchseries. This show is like a sine wave in that it's up then down. But being a big Matt Berry fan I'll ignore the downs. I have only watched through episode 2. Crazy amount of cameos as well as some of Berry's former collaborators. But I was most happy when I got to hear again, "Hello Steven, this is Clem Fandango. Can you hear me?"

This was truly awful. I didn't laugh once, it was actually painful to watch. What has happened to our Matt? Quite surprised to see Aidan Turner accept the gig and it done his CV no favours at all. Dire, unfunny and you would do well to miss it entirely.

It is just awful... a load of cameos phoned in over zoom... cheesy rubbish. I don't know how this has an 8/10 rating a solid 3 or 4.
ToL was dumb, and that's why it was popular... I feel this is trying to hard - but the characterisation is terrible... just watch the first ep and never continue.

Moving the location of the show was a mistake. They move Toast to Hollywood but then because they still want some of the regular series' characters in the show, they have to find dumb ways to have them show up. There was no point in changing location.
Also, you would think the guest stars would really bring something great to the show. They don't.
Toast's new agent who works out of her car is incredibly annoying. It was as if she was from another show... a horribly unfunny show.
Overall, this series was really disappointing. It just wasn't the same funny series it used to be.

I loved Toast of London and could not wait to see this. It wasn't worth the wait. The writing is poor and boring. Toast is cruelly humiliated at every turn and it's just sad, not funny. The only redeeming performance is Robert Bathurst, who is a reminder of just how great the London show was. The ending is just horrible.
