I feel like I haven't really seen anyone talk about this. My wife discovered the show on youtube a few months back (they've been uploading all of their epsiodes) and we're up to season 7.
The basic premise is that of a British panel show, but months before the show all of the contestants (usually comedians) are given tasks that they need to complete within a given time period. A lot of the tasks encourage people to be creative and find rules loopholes. They are given no indication of how well they did the task until they watch the footage of the tasks later with everyone, with a lot of banter between the contestants and the hosts. It's hard to describe but it brings the same joy to me as old Whose Line episodes despite having a fairly different format. --- Ginhyun https://imgur.com/t7G7uoU ... Copied to Clipboard!

I plowed through the show a few months back. It was pretty solid entertainment, although I was getting a little bit burnt out on the format towards the end...less a quality issue and more me watching them too fast.
British Panel shows are rarely lacking in entertainment. Aside from Taskmaster, I've been quite partial to QI and WILTY. --- There is no shame in not knowing; the shame lies in not finding out ... Copied to Clipboard!

they also took down the short clip portions which were the perfect way to introduce the show to anyone, and even some Home Tasking videos which aren't even the damn show wtf
all that's left is 9 Home Taskings, a board game ad, and the announcement the show is coming to the US https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=euOowj6E0wM jazzercizing jupp 2 months ago "lol", top comment --- I request affiliated many pipes.

So Viacom got the rights to the show, aired a single episode on the CW, cancelled it for poor ratings, and are now blocking the show from being uploaded to YouTube.

I immediately think of what I think is a great idea, and then the idea is immediately shit on because someone tries it and it's shown to be a terrible solution.

S2 was my entrance, with that task in it ep1. Such a great introduction I loved it, I went in since I'm familiar with all of them from Countdown appearances so S2 is definitely my favourite full cast.

I saw several individual tasks before watching any of the full episodes, but I think the moment that hooked me was Romesh's immediate reaction to the watermelon task on ep 1.
