The real curse is having to watch this show.
Premiere was a riot. Couldn't be happier Nathan is back to dissect our minds
I recently watched the first episode of "History of the World Part Two" with high expectations. Unfortunately, I found the episode to be quite disappointing due to the bad acting and poor writing. Despite my initial excitement, the lackluster performances and uninspired writing left me feeling underwhelmed.
While I may give the series another chance with the second episode, based on my experience with the first episode, I am not hopeful that the quality will improve. I value strong performances and compelling writing, and "History of the World Part Two" failed to deliver on both fronts in its first outing.
Way too many writers trying to emulate a goofiness and sensibility of a bygone era. A giant line of famous faces and aspiring "comedy world people" scurrying to rub elbows with Mel Brooks. Or, at least the idea of Mel Brooks. Is it attempting to be transcendent and/or higher-budget satire? Is it absurdity for the sake of it? I think it's that so much is punching you squarely in your nose that there's no room for an organic laugh to find room between "Yeah, I get it" thoughts and wincing. What is the joke and where is the punchline? It's like watching "The Characters" which was like watching an hours-long cringe-worthy later-season sketch from Saturday Night Live. Then you have so much 4th wall breaking looking for like meta self-awareness? I wonder if the cast just felt dirty in between takes or obligated and trying too hard to keep the mood up.
This show tries to kill you by boredom or depression. It’s a waste of my time and clearly of money for the producers.
2 episodes and i still don’t get why i didn’t stop after the first one.
Weak character, weak storyline, flat narrative. Avoid at any cost!!
I have been unlucky enough to watch some truly terrible TV shows, and I have to say this makes the top 5, perhaps even the top 3 worst shows ever to grace the small screen. Emma Stone…? Is this the best you got now?
This is a story about the most shallow, despicable, reprehensible, zero morals, zero ethics people who are so far beyond phony that it’s not funny in the least. You will hate everyone, and I do mean everyone, in this show. The most dislikable person is the lead actor who is also the creator, the writer and the director.
There is absolutely nothing funny about this show. Seriously, there is no comedy whatsoever, it’s about people you cannot find a single redeemable quality for and if you don’t like the players then why watch the play? For the message? The message is terrible too.
Your time is better spent vacuuming your carpet - one fiber at a time with a microscopic vacuum cleaner than it is spending even a single minute of this insanely stupid show.
The acting is on par with a play put on by three year olds.
Do yourself a favor and forget this show even exists.
I really enjoyed this series, it's kooky humour and eccentric mannerisms from people trying to cope with a terrible truth as a society. In spite of it's sunshine moments, I did feel very melancholy while watching this though.
