Dustin S. @Dustin574 Apr 18 I love that in one episode, we start with how to watch birds and somehow end up making a documentary about a Titanic documentary. That kind of randomness makes the show have a very unique and interesting quality. He will start with an idea and then take whatever path is most interesting, regardless of the original topic. This makes the show really fun to watch.

See more Green C @Green242 08/26/2023 Quirky, weird, sometimes too graphic but incredibly unique and eye-opening. Sorry to see the end of this ingenious series. See more Susan J @CallMeLulu 08/19/2023 This was such a brilliant, creative, entertaining, original weird show for the first 2 seasons. Now it feels like a re-tread. Same thing happened with Painting with John, Winning Time, The Righteous Germstones, White Lotus, and eventually Barry. The initial spark died off and HBO paid him a lot to keep it going, but nothing he does in Season 3 feels honestly openly curious and filled with wonder. It feels heavy, 2 of the episodes had to do with poo and vomit and bathrooms stuff--just reaching for the bottom, so to speak. The episode on team sports is patronizing and dull. Seriously? We know this guy is a weirdo dweeb but we liked him until now--but he's claiming disingenuously he has no idea how the game of baseball or soccer is played? And he's heavyhanded, which he never was before, with his opinion of Those People. I'm not much into team sports but I don't hate people who do, or pretend that axe throwing or watching some lame-o sing a tone for 2 minutes and 40 seconds is any more worthwhile, and in fact is elevated, and people into sports are DUM. He never stooped to such linear judgmental conclusions in the past. It makes the show tedious. And he morphs from loveable misfit to annoying oddball complaining crank. See more Read all reviews
