So, it’s been a week since the first episode of season 2 aired and it’s already been a few hours since the second episode aired and I haven’t even said anything about the first episode. I have to admit that my attention was taking up by other things, but I have already watched the first episode and I am now waiting for the second episode to surface on YouTube.
I didn’t do an exhaustive research. I didn’t even check Twitter to see what the reactions were. So, what follows are my view on the show only.
First thing that actually popped in my head just now was that the audience wasn’t half as annoying as last year; I didn’t even really notice them. That’s definitely a plus, though the lack of responses might have had something to do with the tepid start of the season.
No-one stood out.
The only thing I remember Jimmy Carr doing is a dreadful sketch; so that they didn’t take out. Shame. He must have done a ‘Week that’s been’, but I can’t remember a single word of it, so it probably wasn’t very impressive.
Charlie Brooker wasn’t impressive either; forgot his piece as well. No, hold on, I do remember him wearing an incubator. Okay, so minor points for impressiveness.
David Mitchell lost his speech segment of which I forgot the title; he now only did an interview. I forgot what the subject was. Not really impressive I guess. What I do remember about the interview is that someone on YouTube said the interviewees were annoying talking over David. So yeah, no points there. I said it last year and I keep saying it: “David should get some education about interviewing techniques”.
Then we have…uh…thingie…Oh, Lauren Laverne. She’s the ringleader, like last season, which means she has not much to do.
In one sentence, I found the first episode rather boring. At least last season the audience gave us something to grumble about.
Points:
Charlie Brooker, hesitantly 1 for doing something vaguely memorable.
Jimmy Carr, David Mitchell & Lauren Laverne, 0 for failing to make any impression at all.
