I only hope it hasn't been cancelled or worse that the presenter hasn't died from heart failure.
Here I am reviewing "reviewed"
O the irony. I dare you not to laugh.
This show is based on an English show, and it's interesting to see how different the approach is. I've seen two episodes of that one so far (they're all on youtube). The English critic is pretentious and approaches his task with a grim certainty that it must be done. Forrest, on the other hand, acts as though he is being blown by fate into insane situations; one difference is Forrest needs a producer to egg him on in moments of doubt. It's a very different approach, and so far I like the America version better.
The problem with this series for me is it can get too dark. While it's always funny, after a while the show was getting so grim, as Forrest shreds his life for his job, that I found it hard to watch, and somewhere in season 2 I just kind of stopped, although I still intend to watch again sometime.
Definitely recommended though.
