I watched the show as someone that is a Taskmaster fan and quite familiar with Ale'x work, so I wasn't surprised that the concept and the style of the show would work for me but to be honest I was a bit worried that this would be a too niche show for those that don't follow Horne's work close enough to get all the easter eggs and inside jokes.
On a rewatch with a friend that was not familiar with the band I could see that yes if you are a fan you will enjoy it a lot more, but at the end of the series my friend was interested to know more about the band. She really enjoyed the songs and how light it was. And I agree, in a world that everything has to have a plot twist, a dense plot just for the sake of trying to be the center of attention on Twitter this show is a gem! It is fun for the sake of being fun.
My only problem with the show was that I wanted more from the band and I hope that if they get a second series they get more attention and please guys do the classics!
Tim Key and Greg were amazing on it, Desiree Burch was quite good too!
If you are a fan of Horne or the band you are in for a treat, if you are not you might be one of us by the end of the series.
