SIBIRIAK . You didn't know something was a doc nuisance until you saw it here! I'm rewatching it for second time after a big break. I'm trying not spoil it too much. Because unfortunately you can't watch something like the first time. Doctors know how to do it with virginity but not with this. For me, it's the most genius mockumentary of all. But I wouldn't categorize it like that and put it on the same shelf with The Office and Arrested Development and others. It's more like album of parodies on different documentary genres. When I watch it, every 5 minutes I go like "right, of course, this is a documentary thing where they make a silent b-roll like that" or "right, of course, this is a documentary thing where they shake a camera like that". It's so spot on every time you wouldn't thing that there is a ton of cinematographer's grey matter behind that. Most of the time in movies all they have to do is to make appropriate frame and beautiful picture. Sometimes, photography supplement the story. But here you would have to gather all your knowledge to recreate the same picture that you see in a particular genre of a doc film. And of course, Fred and Bill. At first you think they are just having fun. But with each episode what you realize more and more is that they crafted each character with virtuoso acting, and that there is no end to there masks.

And somehow they managed to get Wilson, Keaton and Blanchett to do this garbage. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member The best season yet! This third season of on-point mockumentaries finds increasingly potent fodder, parodying films such as Wild Wild Country and Dear Mr. Watterson. The scripts remain as clever and unpredictable as ever, and even though each episode juggles a different aesthetic, the show retains a consistent tone and sense of satire. Comedy fans really need to watch this if they aren't already. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Just when you thought a show couldn't get anymore cringier..... Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member This series took time to hit its stride. It started out too broad, too often. But the third series is five star. The Cate Blanchett episode delighted me most,. not least of all because she is a brilliant actress. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
