9/10

I have watched this show since the onset and have enjoyed it immensely. Braydon is a favorite of Zmine andCoiogan is a good friend/foil for him. They both do pretty good impersonations of celebrities, though Coogan’s character feels is is beneath his talent to do si. But he lets Bryson goad him into trying to match or improve on his impressions. I had to remind myself these are fictional versions of themselves. Meaning it is probably a realistic glimpse at their friendship, but not really them. For example, Brydon’s wife who sends him off one season is an actress, not his real wife. So does that mean that Coogan isn’t a ladies man and shallow in some ways? Who knows? Just sit back and let it roll over you.

The restaurant meals are intriguing and seem real, with their pretentious ingredients, elaborate presentations and descriptions and tiny portions (and huge price taxes). They help ground the show.

You've reached the end.
