The Other Two is so smart and so funny about celebrity, success, family, pop culture, relationships, and the various kingdoms of Andy Cohen’s reality-show empire. It’s a star-making vehicle for Heléne Yorke and Drew Tarver. ... The Other Two is TV’s first can’t-miss comedy of 2019.

It is not a new subject for a television show. But The Other Two, the ten-episode Comedy Central series that debuts Thursday, is so funny and comes at this territory from such a different side street, that it manages to feel like something entirely fresh.

This show gets better with each episode and continues to surprise. Clever comedy that makes you laugh.

I was not expecting to like this show but the premise is so well thought out and the idea of being siblings of a beiberesque superstar is an interesting way to represent disappointment through millennials.

Across the board the cast is phenomenal and, combined with the comedic legacy of the writers, the show does so much more than expected.

The Other Two doesn’t actually make many mistakes in its short and delightful first season, as it holds a mirror up to our celebrity-saturated culture while also making us admit that sometimes we deride it only because we aren’t a part of it.

No reservations, just a ringing endorsement for Comedy Central’s The Other Two, a smart half-hour comedy.

While the punchlines of The Other Two only erratically tickled my funny bone, there are things here that some viewers will find nonstop hilarious. ... Even if I was frequently annoyed by the show's needless underlining or topping of its own jokes, there was enough I was enjoying to keep going along with the show, and enough that I was enjoying in the serialized story it was telling.

[In] fleeting moments, the series reveals qualities in Brooke and Cary which amount to more than mere generational punchlines. Mostly, though, The Other Two is determined to define the siblings by their age bracket, and amounts to yet another portrait of underachieving, navel-gazing ‘80s babies.

I happened to see a promo for this show while I was watching a old classic series on Comedy Central. I figured, what the heck, I'll give it a watch. It's a surprise. This show succeeds where the show Nobodies failed. The writing is quite good. The actors work excellently in their characters. Oh so well. The writers have captured something elusive here. The bonding among the three siblings is strong, and is a strong part of the show. And its funny. Real humor.

While I like the show - inconsistent tone and, frankly speaking, Ken Marino's overly hammy performance, in my opinion, and the main kid actor‘s (again my opinion) lackluster performance prevent the idea and interesting premise from being fully realized. All the ingredients are here but they don't seem to gel as well as other comedies. Maybe it will find it’s groove.
