Funny, but filthy
I've never heard of Greg Davies before. I have been enjoying British comedians from Netflix specials so I thought I'd give it a go.

It is pretty funny if at times so filthy that it's hard to get really into it. To jokes about his mother's sexual experiences to a furry sight gag, the subject matter is pretty raunchy.

Granted he does have a couple decent attempts at positive motivational moments.

Generally speaking I lughed, but not a lot.

Hilariously bonkers
My friends raved about this show and I was forced slightly against my will to watch an episode, but in the end I was very glad I did.

This show is absolutely hilarious and has such a simple premise - comedians undertaking deceivingly simple or bizarre tasks to be scored by the Taskmaster himself Greg Davies. The tasks themselves vary, and so do the results which makes for very entertaining television. Watching fairly to very intelligent people come up with the silliest, stupid or downright convoluted solutions to basic tasks is so much fun. I also love Greg Davies’ very harsh wit and criticism, and how badly some of the contestants take it. Some series are funnier than others, and series 1 has so far been my favourite, but all are very entertaining to watch. Watching this show makes me think this could be what it’s like to work behind the scenes in escape rooms or the Crystal Maze experience, people trying to solve puzzles in the strangest of ways. Fair play to Alex Horne for managing to keep a straight face most of the time!

If you’re looking for something silly and lighthearted to watch, then I’d definitely suggest giving this a go.

I love Tim Key and Romesh Ranganathan too - Tim’s cheating is hilarious and Romesh is downright scary!

I like Taskmaster but after watching it since the beginning It's starting to get a bit tedious. It also depends on who is on it as to how good it is.
