Just finished Series 3! Very enjoyable. Tom Gleeson might be my favorite Taskmaster from all the franchises I’ve watched (UK, BE, NZ, AU)
I feel like you may be right. UK TM SE-1 to 5/6 was top notch. But, these last few SE you can tell they have tamed down. Where as this one got out the gate slow but,now is doing well.
That’s not to say next SE wont be better or worse. You know old Alex Horne is working his butt off trying to get the right persons in place to let the shows work for themselves.
I just wish the others had ENG DUB.
OH, and you know by now Alex has found a way to get the scores look like they all might win. Or 4 out of the 5 lol.
Agreed. I find myself rewatching the earlier UK series a lot on YouTube. NZ S02 and AU S04 are my other favorites. And the Belgian one was great as well (as most of the tasks were just copied from the earlier UK series). Hopefully the upcoming UK series get better. They need to bring back simple tasks like “score x points asap” from S01.
