So someone posted about this a little over a month ago, and it has become one of my favorite shows on TV. For those who don't know it's a british panel show, which I usually hate, but it's great. Essentially they take 5 comedians and give them ridiculous "tasks" to do, and then get graded on how well they do. It goes off the rails incredibly fast as people try and find loopholes or double meanings in the rules and well, yeah. Can't really explain it.
Making this topic because the new series is officially slated for October 15th. If you haven't seen it, they've uploaded a vast majority of the episodes on their youtube channel. Worth sticking with - it took me only about an episode and a half to get hooked. Some of the seasons aren't as good as others, but the worst I've seen is still like an 8/10 edit - also yeah taskmaster in mvc is bullshit and it's totally going to be black widows mom in the new film --- ...

I like in retrospect Greg Davies's appearances on Would I Lie To You where his stories often were about unique games he made up with his sister or at school which totally fits in to him now as Taskmaster.

Series 2 a great step up imho, it was my intro due to being familiar with 4/5 of the contestants
Then 4 and 5 back-2-back are also a couple of the greatest... falls back down in series 6 with the episode count extended, but 7 after that is back to great heights --- http://gmun.moe/ffcc GuessMyUserName's account's very own account! ... Copied to Clipboard!

Series 1 is great in a different way, I think. Series 2 is where everything is codified, but the raw pioneering experiment of Series 1 is definitely special in its own way. And Widdicombe is great.

Glad my topic inspired other people to watch!
Really like the chemistry the S7 cast has. I enjoyed S6 but definitely can see why others didn't. Also favorite moment in Taskmaster is still the team task involving the bathtub in S4. --- Ginhyun https://imgur.com/t7G7uoU ... Copied to Clipboard!

Almost done with Season 6. Not my favorite cast (think that goes to Season 4?) but I've enjoyed it well enough.

I watched the first episode of series 2 with my friends and they thought it was fine. They didn't start watching without me until I showed them the watermelon challenge from the first episode. Ramesh's approach to the watermelon really gets people on board.

Damn, I looked up the description of that podcast and it has a spoiler for what I presume is season 8 or 9 right in it!
anyway, I just started Season 7. Why did people hate Season 6? I thought it was pretty awesome --- Phantom Dust. "I'll just wait for time to prove me right again." - Vlado ... Copied to Clipboard!

Grimlyn 10/30/20 7:38:34 PM #35: |
I don't have a hatred for 6 like I've seen from others, but I understand it being among the weaker end of the series but it's definitely got its moments like with the Hops task
Series 7 definitely a much better go at a 10-ep run tho also I honestly even forgot that that podcast spoiler is the truth lol, I don't have much memory of the series 6-9 champs.... or no I definitely remember 7 & 8.

Season 6 was on the weaker side, but I loved seeing Liza dominate a bunch of the tasks as seemingly the only competent person there. The tasks she typically lost were the ones where it was clear she just didn't care.

Watching Series 8, and I think it might be my least favorite so far.
Although it is absolutely incredible that Joe Thomas was not playing a character when he was incredibly awkward in Inbetweeners, Im on episode 5 and he looks genuinely afraid and anxious in every single studio shot. Its a toss-up between him and Sian as best in the series, shes just too cute. --- Phantom Dust. "I'll just wait for time to prove me right again." - Vlado ... Copied to Clipboard!

everyone hates iain stirling for good reason, but i was p. compelled by the overt hostility towards him from the rest of the panel in the studio, as well as the moment when he realizes how much of a dick he comes off as in the clip followed by the ongoing contrition over how much more of that stuff there is in pre-recorded footage he can do nothing about at that point.
also yess, joe thomas's awkwardness was so endearing. --- https://imgur.com/CQr5Xab this is a world... where azuarc eats gurus ... Copied to Clipboard!
