Wow! And I say that for a reason! This show is just so much different from anything that I have ever seen. Anything?! Yes, ANYTHING!
When watching the first episode, I was completely caught. And it was not only the story - which by the way is pretty interesting in itself - but more so on the way that this story is brought to film. It is namely shot in a very professional way - studio included - but with the real person as the main actor. And this is exactly what makes it special! Because the guy has totally no acting experience and he can't keep himself from smiling. It's like watching Seinfeld's Kramer playing Marlon Brando's role of Godfather!
So yes, it is in my opinion pretty amusing to the point of hilarious.
That a company like ComCast - with its valuable Peacock brand - is willing to experiment with content of this kind, deserves a thumbs up. But who in his right mind would have ever expected this to be so good. I mean... just watching the guy explaining how he is being screwed - literally actually - is an awesome experience to see.
And I hope that the actual mr. Goldman reads my review, because I want to give him credits for the most innovative tv format in a long time!
And the score? A well deserved 8.1/10, which results in an IMDb score of 8 stars!
