Brockmire

And we're off to a roaring start! This series is the perfect bland of black comedy. Rarely have I seen such depth in such a short while while leaving development wide open for the remainder of the season.

Jim Brockmire(Hank Azaria) had a perfectly acceptable life as a stadium announcer until he came home to find his wife hosting a what can only be described as NSFW party. Following which he proceeded to go straight to work and blow up his career, and shortly after hold some press conferences securing his greatest pain online for life. It is now 10 years later, and he's been offered a position in a run down town in the middle of nowhere with a team of.. let's just call them colorful players. Mix in Jules(Amanda Pete) and you have a screwball comedy of monumental proportions on your hands.

10/10 Thank god someone's still paying attention in how to make a great show about the worst parts of life.

Hank's acting is spot on and the story line is genius. I was literally laughing out loud...and cannot wait for future episodes! Even non-baseball fans will crack up at the ridiculousness of the situation. Hank's "typical" baseball announcing voice is a throwback to my youth. Heard Hank interviewed on Howard Stern and couldn't be happier I found season 1, episode 1, on IFC.

So nice to see Hank Azaria's talents being showcased in the perfect setting! Amanda Peet does a fantastic job as well! In fact, you can really see great talent in the entire cast and even day players! The writing will have you rewinding again and again because you missed a great one-liner and;or want to hear it again! You don't have to be a fan of baseball or The Simpson's or even Azaria or Peet, simply being a fan of FUNNY will make you love this show!!

This programme is fresh, funny and very likeable. After the first episode I couldnt get enough, I started binge watching and within 2 days I had caught up with the times.

Every season is more of the same, drugs, alcohol, bad language and breakdowns, but I couldn't get enough of it. I will say however, stop before the final season. If you don't want to relive Game of Thrones all over again, just leave the final series well and truly alone.

The writing got lazy and they appeared to be making things up as they went.

Before this though, definitely a must watch for wordsmiths and dry humour fans.

I was happily surprised at how amusing this show was. Top notch writing and a stellar cast. Episode one had me chuckling out loud. Azaria has found a great outlet for his talents. Amanda Peet is her usual cute self and does bring what the role needs. The absolutely downfall is portrayed humorously and perfectly by Hank though. He steals the show.
