      @@DavidvsFilmIf you’re generally unsure, I would recommend starting with series 4-5. The episode counts are longer and the creator regards it as when the show started to truly click. That’s not to say the earlier series are bad, but things are quite different in the early days, not necessarily growing pains, but certainly noticeable.

    One more thing about watching in order. Props and prize task submissions from earlier seasons are used in later seasons, fun little Easter eggs for loyal viewers. Frank's grape scissors have a cameo in the somewhat distant future. Theme props are also starting to be introduced. The big rubber duck in the "Empty the Bath" task. Frozen peas in the next episode. Alex has said in interviews he tries to use props that are reasonably easy to obtain if you want to do your own task.

    This show thrives on the dynamic that develops in each season between the contestants and with Greg and Alex and also the dynamic that develops between Greg and Alex across all seasons.
    And perhaps it's also good to know that Alex is the creator of the show and is basically Greg's boss, so to speak.

    Definitely watch an entire season from start to finish each time, rather than jump around to random episodes per season. There’s a microcosm being built each season among the contestants that you can’t miss - it’s half the fun of the show, seeing the lore grow each season! Maybe do a poll on the seasons? Fans have certain groups of contestants that stand out most for them for various reasons - if you’re into UK comedy etc then sooo many of the people are already much-loved and getting to see them on TM is the best thing ever 😂 Especially because of the way they interact over the season.

  • @todddepue681

    Interesting to note that the entire concept came from Alex Horne, although he plays the character of the subservient assistant. And yes, he's very thorough and seemingly thought of everything. Except of course for some wholly unpredictable scenarios.
    Really fascinating to watch how different people interpret and approach the tasks, sometimes with strikingly similar methods, others completely from left field.
    It's chaotic good fun.

    Oh no, dear David, I wouldn't advise jumping around. It's the kind of show that you want to follow from task to task, episode to episode... and to follow the rankings. Also, watching episodes - rather than individual tasks - you get to know the participants and you get a lot more comedy. It's an amazing series. And I'm pretty sure every episode for most seasons are available on the official channel (including the New Zealand and Australian versions), and most reactors have no problem uploading edited reactions to YT, if you're worried about ©️

    If you love Roisin, check out her appearances on 8 out of 10 Cats Does Countdown. It's from when a panel show crossed over with a game show and it was so popular they kept going.
    PS. If you look at Carrot in a Box from that show, do it in order. There are spoilers. Three segments from over the years so it's not super long. Definitely worth it.

    The Taskmaster general format...the first task is always to bring something to impress Greg for the prizes for winning the episode. Then there are usually 3-4 differents tasks away from the stage at the Taskmaster house or other locations then the final task is live at the end of each show. Davies grading point grading system is fantastic, hilarious and definitive and usually is a 5 point scale. At the end of the series the total point are added up for a taskmaster champion.
    I love Dawn French too!
    I was influenced in my early teens with the dry humor of the British growing up watching Fawlty Towers...it was one of the only shows in english I could watch when I lived in a small village in Saudi in late 80's.

    Subscribed to follow your Taskmaster journey. I’d recommend watching every series in order so you can see how the show evolves. Quick note for this series, Greg and Rosin are really good mates in real life as you’ll see throughout the show.
    Didn’t see the Graham Norton show so don’t know if you know this already but Alex Horne came up with the show and actually did it first at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival before they turned it into a TV show. It was on Dave originally (a pretty small channel) but moved to Channel 4 in 2019 and it’s pretty clear they got a much bigger budget

    Each season has a particular distinguishing motif/location and each cast has a unique dynamic so it's always fresh and enjoyable. Even if you don't know the contestants, by the end of the season you've seen them at their lowest and don't want to part

    Immediately loving Roisin bodes well, I think. Everyone's great but if it was left to the boys it would be a bit more of a straight competition with almost a traditional panel show feel, I do kind of think she sets the tone more than anyone else. This also becomes a show that features more and more women as it goes along and they're almost always the standouts of each season - the holy trinity of Mel Giedroyc, Sally Phillips and Liza Tarbuck are incredible heavy hitters, I do hope you get to experience them

    • @DavidvsFilm

But then I just watched the 2nd episode today, and I noticed in that one she was more serious and competitive, which I also immensely enjoyed. So that just solidified in my mind that I love her in all forms lol

On the other hand I'd argue watching the series in order from 1-16 isn't as crucial, although they do start adding new things to the house so there's progression that way. Honestly I'm personally aching for someone to react to the later series since every reactor starts at 1 and it takes forever to catch up!
    I enjoyed your commentary, before, during, and after, and I'm looking forward to more!

    Yeah Alex comes up with the tasks and I think they film them all over a span of a few days, they're often wearing the same outfit for the entire season in the prerecorded bits. We see them out of order, no idea how they decide which go in which episode but, they strike a good balance!

    Alex Horne, the sidekick, actually created the show and comes up with the ideas for the tasks with his writing team. It was a concept he came up with at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival that was developed into the TV show. Also, even though it's spelled (to an American) like "DAY-veez," Greg's last name is pronounced just like "Davis." Same for Alan Davies, whom you will meet much later in Taskmaster (Series 12). Finally, Roisin Conaty pops up on a lot of UK panel shows, like 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, but she also acts. She was on Greg Davies' sitcom Man Down, and recently she had her own show, GameFace, for two seasons on Hulu.

    Dawn French & Jennifer Saunders are a double act & in the 80s & 90s their show was huge. They made incredible movie spoofs, my favourite was their version of The Silence Of The Lambs, so good!

Vicar of Dibley is on my short list for off-channel watching, and you are 100% right about Ab Fab.

    Greg had a sitcom with him, Roisin Conaty, and Mike Wozniak called 'Man Down.' Ran for a few series, a somewhat exaggerated biography of Davies' pre-comedy days being a teacher and hating it.

    I think after this series Tim Key joined their writers team to help come up with tasks.
    Cant wait for you to see more, each series has the same cast until a final winner is declared at the end of a series, then after a few series they have the winners of each series compete as well.
    Other classic british comedy shows are Red Dwarf (sci fi comedy loved by Patrick Stewart),
    The league of gentlemen (horror comedy, most of the characters are played by the same 3 people)
    Blackadder (each season is set in a different time period as it follows the bloodline of Blackadder and his manservant Baldrick, the same actors taking on different roles each season apart from the main two, the first season though is very different to the rest)

    Although you can skip around the season order, I wouldn't switch up the episodes inside each season. Each season contains different comedians who compete throughout the episodes, so there is some need for order. Like the 5 you saw will continue to "battle it out" until the season finale when whoever has the most points wins a trophy of Greg's head. Then the next season is 5 new contestants and so on. In my opinion, each season starts of slower then picks up as they all get more comfortable.
