A review of a movie, or a restaurant, or a car—or whatever else that typically falls under a critic's domain—is all well and good, and can even be helpful at times. But how can one find out about myriad other experiences that are never tackled in reviews? Enter Forrest MacNeil, a critic who goes beyond overviews of life's more-common subjects—way beyond—to satisfy the curiosity of others: The adrenaline rush of stealing; the danger of drug addiction; the delight of sleeping with a celebrity. MacNeil tries anything suggested by viewers of his TV show, then presents a 1-to-5-star review. But his unwavering commitment to experiencing intense adventures means he must deal with the unintended consequences of such a goal.

Reviews

Kevin Lynch A Very enjoyable farce in which the host is game for a laugh. The seriousness and commitment that Andrew Daly brings to the character is to be applauded. He reviews many life situations from the bizarre to the feared and delves in with enthusiasm that's to be admired. Everything from "being gay" to "murder" to "joining a cult". In short, try everything in life and review it!!!I only hope it hasn't been cancelled or worse that the presenter hasn't died from heart failure.Here I am reviewing "reviewed" O the irony. I dare you not to laugh.
Professor MovieMovie This sad, unfunny snore-fest is NOT original or refreshing as so many people here are claiming it is.With just a tiny effort to know what they are talking about before posting their review, ironic I know, they would have easily found out that this "remake" is really a direct "ripoff" of a brilliant Australian show from just a few years ago.It's all over YouTube and has was so controversial in the first place it was nearly banned from TV in Australia.This show doesn't even come up with its own topics to "review". The first episode of this dreck uses the same topics of its much funnier and, indeed, original counterpart. How is that original? Andy Daly is boring. His forced "acting" style is so awkward I couldn't help but feel embarrassed for him. His "lovely assistant" is just not necessary to the show and is clearly only there to be the token "pretty girl" all shows in the US seem to require.All the extras suck, as well. It's as if they all went to the same attended the School for Wooden Actors and even failed at that.Since the ideas are a ripoff of the original it's pathetic that the writing of this show is so poorly and lazily done. They had great source material to draw from and they couldn't even to anywhere near a quality job.Just skip this mess and watch the real original and refreshing Review with Myles Barlow on youtube.
shiva777-9-153849 I was a bit skeptical about the concept behind this show. What saves it from banality is just how creative and edgy each episode is. The viewer has NO idea what is going to happen next. There is no formula and the tension is often ratcheded up to excruciating levels. There are tons of laughs here and the back stories are woven in expertly. So many comedies are played very hammy with lots of stereotypes. This is a very refreshing new form of comedy where the backdrop is more realistic with only some of the characters being over the top. If you're a fan of Louie, The Office or Curb Your Enthusiasm you will likely really love this show. It's fresh and Andy Daly plays the role of the hapless reporter to perfection. I hope that we see more hilarious comedies coming. Great stuff!
Mr-Fusion Comedy Central is a vast wasteland of unsuccessful TV shows based around standup comics, but "Review" is a refreshing winner. Reviewing life itself (and playing the inanities of life to the extreme) is a simple concept, but it works, and really just churns out one ridiculously uncomfortable moment after another. But it's from that discomfort that the big laughs arise. Andrew Daly is perfect for the slightly hapless Forrest MacNeil, and his exasperated wife and wryly awkward cohost are my favorite parts of the show. It's a genuine surprise how quickly this season has flown by, and I really hope this gets picked up for another go-round.7/10
