The Other Two, whose second season lands on HBO Max tomorrow, finds the perfect balance between heart-warming and cringe comedy.
finally returns tomorrow, and if you start soon you still have time to crush through the entire first season before the new episodes hit HBO Max. The first season aired on Comedy Central in 2019, and quickly developed a cult following among critics and comedy fans with its surprisingly warm take on cringe comedy. Beyond its talented cast and sharp writing, what setsapart is its ability to deliver pointed satire in a way that remains grounded and human.
Even the show’s pointed digs at the vapidity of modern culture don’t feel too exaggerated. Everything Sykes’ record label exec does to promote ChaseDreams is ridiculous, but it’s no more ridiculous than how the real pop music industry works. Ken Marino, who plays Chase’s manager Streeter Peters, is the closest the show gets to a cartoon character , but his actions still aren’t too far out of line with what you might expect from somebody like Scooter Braun, his obvious inspiration.
