Ep 2. Sex Tape, Racist, Hunting

As a disclaimer, Review is a satirical comedy show that pushes the boundaries of what is socially acceptable for humor. The humor is often dark and uncomfortable, and some viewers may find it offensive.

In "Sex Tape, Racist, Hunting," Forrest MacNeil (played by Andy Daly) receives his next assignment to review three life experiences requested by his viewers: making a sex tape, being a racist, and going hunting.

Forrest starts by creating a sex tape with his wife, whom he refers to as his "Asian wife" and who has previously stated that she does not want to be a part of the show, but Forrest convinces her to participate. The filming of the sex tape is humorous in a cringe-worthy way, with Forrest frequently breaking the fourth wall to ask his producer for advice. The humor also touches on the idea of consent, as Forrest's wife initially says no but then reluctantly agrees after Forrest convinces her.

Next, Forrest tries to be a racist, which he admits is highly controversial and not something he condones in real life. He first tries to be hateful towards an Asian man, but it does not come naturally to him. He then tries to be racist towards a Latinx man, but he cannot bring himself to do it. Finally, he targets a white man and uses derogatory language towards him. The humor in this segment is meant to highlight the absurdity and ugliness of racism and how it runs counter to Forrest's usual aim of improving his life experiences.

The last review involves Forrest going hunting for the first time. He enlists the help of his friend A.J. (played by Fred Willard) who is an experienced hunter. Forrest is initially hesitant to kill an animal but is eventually convinced by A.J. to shoot a deer. The hunting trip takes a turn when A.J. accidentally shoots Forrest in the leg. The humor in this segment comes from the juxtaposition of the violence of the hunting experience and Forrest's typically naive and mishap-prone personality.

Overall, this episode of Review continues to push the boundaries of what is socially acceptable for humor. The humor is often dark and uncomfortable, and some viewers may find it offensive. However, the show's satirical nature and willingness to confront societal taboos make it a standout in the comedic landscape.
