New season of Taskmaster.

If you're unfamiliar- it's a British show where 5 comedians are given random tasks and they compete for made up points. Lots of parallel thinking with the occasional absurdity.

You can watch all the episodes on youtube.

It has officially entered the "Comfort TV" level of watching.

That's a very good thing.

Classic

Recrudescence

So I went to watch this on You Tube and found that I had to pay for them...BOOOOOOO!

So I went to see if I could watch them on Amazon, which I could not, DOUBLE BOO!

..but while there I stumbled on "Last One Laughing" which I'm already halfway through season one, and it's utter fucking brilliance, so it was a HOOORAY! in the end.

I can already see there's probably a good amount of crossover between the two.

I think I liked the cast more of S1, but S2 had just as many laughs

And if you put him, James Acaster, and Sam Campbell in a room together it would be more awkward than my 7th grade dance.

And if anyone hasn't watched Season 2 of New Zealand Tasketmaster, check it out...

Australia Season 1 is also a classic. Especially for the roses task.

It's by far my favorite show.

I'm excited to see what Kumal brings to the table. Im glad they are getting more Yanks involved. Jason Mantzoukis was amazing. His season is top 3 for me.

I discovered it when we were originally watching Ghosts (UK) and Charlotte Ritchie..

started posting about it on social media. And by that point, most of the current seasons 1-10 were on Youtube.

it took me a few episodes to really stick, but now i've seen nearly every episode

"nearly" as smarch and I both hated the guy from season 6(?) with the pith helmet that we skipped the last 6 or so episodes of that season.

Who is still watching The Pitt? (Not really a sp, maybe a minor one)

I’m now finding this to be a slog that I’m getting through just to do it. I don’t care about any of the main characters and they’re just cycling through like 12 different patients at all times that were supposed to keep track of. And many times there isn’t much of an interesting resolution to those cases either.

Would have been better as a 1 season show.

It's still a very good show, but this season hasn't been nearly as good*

when each season takes place in less than one day, and then the next season jumps forward nearly a year.

I want to break it up
I want to smash it up
I want to #### it up
I want to watch it come down

I was rewatching an episode of Ghosts (UK) yesterday and it had Jessica Knappett!...

I completely forgot she was in a few episodes.

Not to mention Charlotte Ritchie, Lolly Adefope, Matthew Bayton, Kiell Smith-Bynoe and Katy Wix

That version is so much better than the US version, IMO

I've always thought it would be cool if one of the NYE Taskmaster versions was the former Ghosts cast members that have also been on TM and they all have to come in character.

I still enjoy the US version, mostly because they've made it their own...

and really didn't copy very many of the episode plotlines.

1000%. Loved the UK version. Can't stand the US version.*
