Review

In showing us the sum of Forrest’s travails, Review has given birth to something extraordinary: a bleak, serialized tragedy that inspires spasms of unrestrained laughter.

[By the third episode] Review revealed itself to be something much more complicated, dark, and brilliant, in which the weight of all these viewer requests begins to take a horrific toll on Forrest's life.

Just as before, it’s Forrest’s reviews themselves that deliver the strongest laughs.

As with most things Forrest tries in this drolly hilarious show, neither goes quite as planned.

Review is one of Comedy Central’s most effortless and truly funny new shows in a while.

The recurring gag is the absurdity of nerdy Forrest reviewing often illegal/immoral activities, and it’s a pretty good joke in the early episodes. It remains to be seen if that joke holds up or grows tiresome over time.

Forrest gives two of these pointless segments a one-half star rating, and that's being generous.
