Long-form improv is the dorkiest style of comedy but I love it. If you can make it through this promo without cringing too much you’ll probably love their specials too.

I'm 4 episodes into Ozark's first season and I found it a bit hard to continue. Everyone in the show so far is trashy, low life and hard for me to sympathize or relate to. And almost there are like 10 people by now seem to know about the money which I found too convenient and contrived. No doubt some deaths will happen because of this.

Please tell me I should continue and the show will get better.

The Last Dance is great so far, best sports content we’ve gotten anywhere recently. An absolute must for basketball fans, can’t wait for the next episodes to come out

Hmm, you'll definitely begin to dislike more and more characters based on your above post as the season goes on.

I think the last few episodes had me itching to get back to the following episode (which hasn't been a problem for me with Ozark, I like the show but it isn't a big "binging" show for me). There's definitely some interesting twists worth watching for.

While I agree with you on the "all the characters are a-holes", I have realized I just love Justin Bateman. I pretty much like everything he's in.

I find Ozark to be one of the best shows out there. But I also loved it right from the start, so if you are not liking it from the start, you may not learn to like it either.

Really enjoying it too. However was very disappointed to learn that Jordan had the power to approve everything in the documentary. Would much rather have a more balanced perspective. Jordan was far from the pure good guy in that situation.

There’s absolutely nothing to suggest Jordan censored or edited the material to make himself look good. All the reviews I’ve read are impressed with how raw it is. Plus Michael has long been known for being insanely competitive. Stories of him slapping teammates and riding guys to the point of tears are well known.

That show is despicably brilliant. One of my absolute favourites.

I watched the first one and loved it. It’s basically an improvised play. They’re a lot less frenetic than they are in the promo and very funny.

The UCB theatre in New York closed its doors today so it’s a rough day for the improv community. Hopefully these specials can bring some attention to improv so more theatres can survive.
