Former "Saturday Night Live" head writers Chris Kelly and Sarah Schneider are the creative forces behind "The Other Two," a scripted series centered around two siblings desperately seeking their lot in life. Aspiring actor Cary is struggling to land better auditions than "Man at Party Who Smells Fart," while his sister Brooke is simply struggling in general. As they work toward self-improvement, their lives are turned upside-down when their teenage brother Chase becomes an internet sensation overnight.

"The Other Two" isn't trying to change your life - it just wants to make you laugh. Go to Full Review
Sonia Saraiya Vanity Fair 09/22/2021
I've felt drawn to the show for its thorny subtext about the way our personal and professional spheres are made to overlap, be it via a social media presence or a job literally managing your mother. Go to Full Review
Daniel D'Addario Variety 09/03/2021
In its second season, one of the sharpest comedies on television has found a new note: Soulfulness. Go to Full Review

Brilliant at skewering family dynamics and internet culture as it articulates the price of chasing fame in the digital age. Go to Full Review
Michael Cuby them. 09/26/2022
Like its beloved first season, the show is still ruthless in its skewering of metropolitan queer culture, but continues to do so with a loving tap of in-on-the-joke self-awareness. Go to Full Review

Season Two has raised the gay stakes significantly, including allowing actor wannabe Cary (Drew Tarver) to have a boyfriend, Jess (the fab Gideon Glick), so we are privy to all their craziness — although, sadly, not for that long. Go to Full Review

Henry B 06/17/2023 Such a yawn fest. Way too cheesy. See more S D 04/10/2023 The actor playing Carey's boyfriend is so annoying See more 01/25/2022 I love this show. It's writing and casting are always right on the nose. This season in particular was a hit for me. See more andrei d 01/10/2022 Has no right to be so fun See more 12/28/2021 Haven't enjoyed a company like this in years. Perfection See more 12/08/2021 The Other Two makes the jump over to HBO for its second season, resulting in a show that's a bit more edgy, but also more mature and better written! Like last season, the show mines a lot of its humor for being relatable towards millennial frustrations with (or lack of) success and fame, but this season is even more glaring towards the entertainment industry! From making fun of conservative religious sects, to the haphazard regiments of saving face after media-scrutinized decisions, The Other Two remains sharp as ever in its satire. The cast is also pitch-perfect, with fortunately this season allowing more opportunities for Ken Marino and Molly Shannon to shine. Closing on a note that stresses an uncertain future for its characters new-found optimism (hint: it's revealed this season took place before a certain global event occurred), next season has the potential to be smarter and more on-point still!
