I think you might be a little sensitive for this show if you're literally fast-forwarding through a lot of it. This is not The Office.

Actually he's pretty smart. Why find a bedroom and spend time filling it with hundreds of bottles of alcohol when you can just sleep in a bar?

He was always my favourite guest star appearances in Tim & Eric, and he taps into some of that craziness on this show (as well as MacGruber/SNL, obviously).

I agree! I come on here each week and it's people moaning about how 'Phil's a jerk' or 'Carol's annoying'. I guess the irony is that it proves how judgemental those people would probably be if they were in such a situation, and such attitudes might find themselves in situations of conflict with other people even more

That's 'cause she's a 'hot older lady' (to paraphrase Phil). But seriously, yes I actually do agree with that comment…but I guess her husband Ted Danson plays similarly flirtatious characters.

That actor just looks like the kinda guy who has friends with names like 'Slippin' Jimmy'…

and Van Gogh…I'd have kicked her out of the house if I'm honest, but I'm guessing Phil's nihilistic tendencies means he doesn't care THAT much. I mean, he has a T-Rex skull on the dining table.

Phil was forced into a nihilistic corner…I mean, he didn't give a shit about his appearance or general wellbeing, the environment he was living in, or any long term plans in terms of survival. He had given up all hope, and was talking to sports balls and a mannequin. He was even about to kill himself. He may have

Yeah, and also everyone would be emotionally scarred…I mean, I'm sure the time between 'the virus' and now has been long enough for them to have had a little cry or two, but there'd still be some emotional trauma for a lot of them? And as a result they would probably have even less attachment to the 'old world', and

Nah, I think she just meant he was defending Phil because he thought of him as a friend. But that's not to say it could get a little interesting somewhere down the line, when these people are forced to interact on a long-term basis…some characters could turn out to be bisexual (the women too, or even Phil)! So much

No, I actually meant MCU (film/TV)…or even just Marvel Studios productions in general! Basically, the best Marvel-related live action production to date. People will defend this and that because of the big budgets and stars (yes, I do think Iron Man is second to this), but this is the first time they've made something

If 'unnecessarily extensive intimidation of strangers on the internet' counts as a mental impairment, then no I don't think so.

Yeah I don't really mind now, 5 episodes in myself and the show generally shows more balls than anything Marvel have done to date. The dialogue is not completely generic and clichéd, which is refreshing, and it frequently dips into mature subject material. I'm pleasantly surprised about how good this show is going so

"Wahhh"

5 episodes in, myself. Dare I say…best thing Marvel have done to date? Films included.

Wow, this episode was fantastic. The end fight sequence was a corridor fight to rival Oldboy, and is probably the coolest fight sequence I've seen all year other than The Raid 2 (take that, John Wick).

Jokes can be inaccurate

Okay…in that case, no. I know of nobody else with that hilariously Roald Dahl-esque surname! However, I do have the same first name as Mr. Cumberbatch (again, still not very common either…Benjamin's are rife).

First episode, and pretty good so far. I'm not a big Marvel fan these days, so this is the best thing I've seen from them in ages.
