Well, the Australian show first came to the attention of Comedy Central before it came to my attention, actually.
There’s one segment in particular in season two that is quite close to something they did. So we borrowed more of their statement ideas in season one, and then in season two we went back and watched what they did a lot less than we did in season one. There’s only one segment in season two that comes to mind as something that they also did. In season two, we’re doing some of that, but I would say less. Pieces where we really directly took themes from them. And then, certain topics that they did, we said, “Of course! We’ve got to do that.” And we borrowed a lot of specific themes–stealing and addiction come to mind. I mean we would just marvel at how grounded some of the performances are and really tried to emulate that. And just the reality of their entire world. We borrowed a lot of elements of Myles when forming Forrest. Their characterization of Myles, for example. So we definitely took the shooting style, and we took the groundedness of it, and really admired so many aspects of the show. We tried to be faithful to it in ways that were entirely in our interest. We never felt any obligation–partly because people in the States weren’t really familiar with that show. How closely have you felt the need to use that show as the backbone to yours? Are you still interested in servicing it up, or have you fully grown into your own entity at this point?ĪNDY DALY: Yeah, when I think we first set out to adapt the show, we took an attitude of let’s take from it the things that we like and then generally try to make our own show.

I’m truly unsure if anyone other than Daly could tie this unconventional series together, which is why it was so enlightening to hear his thoughts on the mechanics of Review and where the series is headed…ĭEN OF GEEK: So Review is actually adapted from the structure of the Australian series, Review With Myles Barlow. It’s not just the absurdist stories and plots you’re receiving, but the journey and metamorphosis Forrest goes through. This volatile combination is what makes Review such a beautiful experience. The show manages to effortlessly capture Daly’s unassuming pathetic nature, while also adeptly putting him as the hapless authority figure that is always a razor’s edge away from completely imploding on himself. Daly is the quintessential nebbish, appearing to convey his entire essence in his by-the-book attire.

Review, which returns July 30th, seems to have finally learned how to perfectly use Daly to his greatest potential. A surrealist program with a grounded attitude, it centers on a man (Daly) who forgoes reviewing regular things like movies or a restaurant, and instead takes on esoteric concepts such as “stealing,” “road rage,” and “divorce.” The sharpest needle for this bursting came in the form of his Comedy Central series, Review.
