Carry F @RT54930318 Sep 22, 2024 Been a big fan of "The Kids in the Hall" since the early 90's and this reboot is delightful and familiar with the same kind of empathy towards their characters that they showed back then. Then, their comedy were really different than what was around at that point. It was sweet even in the most taboo of topics, could easily dip into melancholia, and bring the mundane into absurdity in a fresh way. They had new sensitivies, and they were never mean. Loved you, guys! You had an impact on my generation, for sure, and I was so glad to hear of your return. Reboot is real quality, and the actors fantastic, with fun and low-key-cameos from Mark Hamill, Catherine O'Hara, Eddie Izzard. If you're not among "Friends of The Kids In The Hall" already, check it out. See more Michael Antony A @RT48850580 Oct 24, 2023 Mikey's TV Review: The Kids in the Hall (2022) OK, who remembers TKITH? The inspirational Canadian Pythonesque sketch comedy show featuring Dave Foley, Bruce McCulloch, Kevin McDonald, Mark McKinney & Scott Thompson ran for 5 seasons between 1989 to 1995, a movie (Brain Candy) plus a TV special ‘Death Comes To Town'? Well, they're back after 27(!) years for an 8 episode revamp / Series 6 on Amazon Prime. A couple of returning characters and a few new ones prove they're just as quirky, irreverent and funny as their younger selves ever were. Chasing what was might have ended in disaster, so it's a huge relief that the show is filled with their absurd brand of humour intact and if anything, is even sillier and darker (and bloodier) than before. It's self-deprecating too. Kids no longer (they're all aged around 60), their obsession with death now has an air of pathos and inevitability. Highlights include Masterbation Policy, Foodie's Tart, Doomsday DJ, Shakespeare's Bust, The Patrol and The Last Gloryhole (groundbreaking gay character Buddy Cole is back for this one) - if any of these sketch titles make you shake your head, the show definitely isn't for you. But then that was always the point of TKITH - an alternative to the mainstream and especially vanilla comedy. Something we need to hold on to in this evermore PC world. The Devil permitting (long running joke), the ‘boys' will back to save the day for another series soon. Mikey's TV Rating: 4/5* For fans of: The League Of Gentlemen, French & Saunders, Mike Myers, Horrible Histories… See more harrison r @clinthoward Sep 19, 2022 Still good after all these years. Wish Amazon had let them use more than 6 of their original sketch ideas, all of which looked hilarious from the titles.
