I’ve adored it. I found out about it from sibling who found out about it when they started uploading full episodes to YouTube.
It’s just really funny silly things with some real heartwarming shit as well. I also have enjoyed the Australia and New Zealand ones as well. I tried to watch some of the non English speaking ones, but subtitles do not do it justice for my brain, alas.
Also! Close to my heart! Rosie and seeing someone with cerebral palsy! Amazing!!
I agree with the original Taskmaster, it’s brilliant. But I never found a connection to the Australien or New Zealand version. Greg Davis and Alex Horne are missing in these and they are the ones that make every contestant so funny.
A close second for me, as a great moderator team, would be Rose and Mike.
there is not another equivalent anywhere on the planet to Greg, try as they might to find one. the advantage the UK had was not only being first, but also Greg having been a staple of comedy already really let them just do whatever the hell they wanted.
the AU version is good but the thing that we fast forward through is the intros, it feels like the network it’s on just didn’t trust them enough to let it just be completely off the rails (eg, the spirit of the show) and it suffers as a result.
