Guest Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 I got a chance to see the whole thing and maaaan, really excellent. It’s a genre I love, from a writer/director I love, so I wasn’t surprised at how I felt. I don’t want to spoil anything, it is really fun to just let the show take you on the ride. One thing I will say is I am glad that Haddish has been able to avoid being typecast as a particular type of funny-Black-lady. She is an immense talent and can really handle a wide range of characters and tones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLeon Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 In a few of those shots, Ike Barenholtz was looking like alternate reality Mark Wahlberg. That looks like exactly my jam. I bet my sister would like it too. How does the tone of the show overall compare to something like Knives Out? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After Party is much more 21 Jump Street in tone, despite being genre aligned with Knives. I think there will certainly be a lot of comparisons between the two due to the murder mystery aspects, but they don’t really FEEL similar.

Mercury33 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Ugh I’m torn. Love the genre and love most of the cast…can’t stand Tiffany Haddish though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLeon Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 Watched the final episode this morning before work. What a fun show! Really loved how it shifted genre as each person told their story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legend Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 Looks good, I'll have to watch! Honestly, Apple TV is kind of killing it, so I'd be willing to try a lot of shows they put up. I never would have expected them to be at the top of my list of quality TV, but here we are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skillzdadirecta Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Binged this last night... it was decent. Not great. Sam Richardson is amazing in everything he's in. Ben Scwartz too. I'm over Tiffany haddish though. I thought this show would be funnier than it was given the cast and talent involved but i didn't hate it. Fun time.

I'd hoped they'd make more of the "different character = different genre" thing, but NBD. Also... Spoiler If the show isn't going to be THAT many episodes, it's pretty clear that the killer wasn't going to be the little girl or the ostensible main character, so... I dunno how much of a whodunit it was. Not that I mind, but the finale made it seem like it was more of a mystery than it ended up being.

johnny Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 It was good but kinda lost steam as it went on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercury33 Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 It peaked for me with the Ike Berinholtz episode. Was just kinda ok after that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLeon Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 I told my sister she needed to watch this not long after I watched it. Two of her favorite recent things are Knives Out and Only Murders in the Building, so this was an easy recommendation. The problem was I’m always talking about some new things I’ve watched, and she might have (understandably) tuned me out. Anyway, she eventually caught on after watching a TikTok about TV shows you can binge in a day, and she loved it. And as we were talking about it, I was excited to see that a second season is coming soon (July 12)! Mostly new cast, lot of fun names. Ken Jeong, John Cho, Elizabeth Perkins, Paul Walter Hauser, Zack Woods. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLeon Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 I enjoyed the second season quite a bit, but I’m not surprised it didn’t get picked up. It didn’t seem to catch on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwinIon Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 Haven't gotten around to season 2 yet, but really enjoyed the first. Shame it didn't get picked up for a third. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stepee Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 I just finished the second season finally and it’s really such a wonderful series, I hope someone picks it up. Sam Richardson is a national treasure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
