I know, thatās aĀ boldĀ statement. And, itās worth noting that SCHITTāS CREEK took nearly two seasons before the Roses grew a heart. It wasnāt until S2E13 HAPPY ANNIVERSARY that audiences started to care for them. Up until that point, it was a cliched situational comedy that audiences had seen before.
THE OTHER TWO follows a similar path, but instead of focusing on a family going from fame to shame, itās in reverse. We track the Dubek family, who are awful, going from shame to fame. The family has the under-achieving sister, Brook (HelĆ©ne Yorke), the self-obsessed gay brother, Cary (Drew Tarver), the newly famous younger brother Chase (Case Walker), and the fame-seeking mom, Pat (Molly Shannon). Yet, just like the end of S2 of SCHITTāS CREEK, they all start to change for the better in their unique ways.Ā
THE OTHER TWO also has a lot of 30 ROCK/SNL style humor. Itās shocking how good this show can be at mocking celebrities/internet culture while also seeing characters learn how to grow.
Here are a few choice examples of memes from the show that should make you š .
Itās not often that a show can be this relevant, funny, and overlooked. So, I encourage audiences to have a bottle of wine, sorry, three glasses per Brook, and binge it on HBO Max. The first season might be hit or miss, yet the second season āChases Dreams,ā to become must-see TV.
