Review: Kids in the Hall return “really lame”
From John Doyle of the Globe and Mail:
- Here in the backwater we can also fail big
“Kids in the Hall: Death Comes to Town (CBC, 9 p.m.) is just awful, an absolute mess of lame, laughless ineptitude, and a dismal coda to the comedy troupe’s outstanding career. It is a fact of life that a lot of kids grow up and then aren’t that lovable and funny any more. Such is the case here.” Read more.
In the news: Kids in the Hall bring classic humour back
From Raju Mudhar of the Toronto Star:
- Classic humour returns to CBC with Kids in the Hall: Death Comes to Town
“Having seen the first two episodes of this Twin Peaks-esque eight-part miniseries, I doubt it will bring many new fans to the group, but for the converted it’s a pretty fun piece, celebrating the troupe’s strengths. Even after the first episode, I’m enjoying it more than the Kids’ 1996 Brain Candy.” Read more.
