    A very funny and unique show. It's fun watching Forest go through various romantic relationships, and watching them fall apart due to the nature of his job.

    If you enjoy anything anything Andy Daly has been on (his wacky characters on Comedy Bang! Bang! in particular) you will most likely love this show. Andy is one of the funniest guys out there and this show fits perfectly with his crazy humor.

    Couldn't make it through the first episode. It's got an incredibly predictable plot for each situation and then throws in over the top gags to attempt to balance it out.

    Although it seems like "just" a parody of reality tv (e.g. Nathan For You, which is a really good show, btw), it's actually an Adult Swim-style character study of the destruction of the host's life due to his commitment to their job. It's also really, really funny, employing Arrested Development-style continuity to great effect.

It's also really, really funny, employing Arrested Development-style continuity to great effect. What I like about the show is that it's really funny, but doesn't travel down a road quite as dark or completely absurd as some of the things you see on Adult Swim. I actually really cared about the main character (who, despite all his flaws, is a pretty likeable guy) after watching the show, and I'm glad the show didn't overly rely on the suffering of the main character for humor.… Expand

    This show is so weird and funny and it consistently has me laughing out loud. Hilarious is the word I'm going for. I didn't catch season one and to date I've only watched the first two episodes of season two. Rip roaring laughter! Da bomb!

    4/5★ Take a Michael Scott type, add total commitment and vague disregard for societal norms and what you get is Forrest MacNeil, a seemingly straitlaced man with a mission to experience it all.
    At first Review seems like a straightforward mockumentary, but develops into a dark, almost surreal breakdown of a man who on the surface had it all.

    If you are like me and can't get enough "Review" have no fear: this show is adapted from the original Australian TV version called "Review with Myles Barlow". You can watch it on YouTube or Hulu Plus.

    Wow, quite frankly. I don't believe this show. I feel like I'm going to have a humor attack with every episode, even in very inconsequential moments. The simplest explanation for this show that I can think of is this: Daly has such a strong understanding of what makes comedy work that he has decided to share it with us all.

    Review is more of an experience than a statement; if you ask yourself, "What's the point?" you'll probably never get an answer, and you'll miss out on the agonizing pleasure of this most unusual series, which imports a style of TV comedy that was perfected in the United Kingdom and its far-flung colonies, and somehow Americanizes it without snuffing its daft spark.

    On this sporadically hilarious show, Andy Daly carries over the uptight persona he used to great effect on Eastbound & Down to the role of TV presenter Forrest MacNeil, who every week reviews and grades different experiences. [21 Mar 2014, p.58]

    [By the third episode] Review revealed itself to be something much more complicated, dark, and brilliant, in which the weight of all these viewer requests begins to take a horrific toll on Forrest's life.
