I first heard about "Nirvana the Band" a few months back and while it seemed somewhat interesting, its sort of bland look kept me from checking it out. Now that I've come through and watched all episodes, I have to say that I never laughed so hard at any show in the last 1 or 2 years.For me, the lack of flashy presentation and stylized look turns out to actually not be a shortcoming but something that really helps to sell the humor the show is going for. Somehow, the low-fi aesthetic makes it feel more authentic and really facilitates the seamless blend of scripted scenes and "prank" like improvisation that's going on all the time. If you look closer at how the episodes are put together, you begin to realize that this "homemade" quality is an aesthetic choice and the editing and planing that has to go into creating it must be enormous. But the hard work pays off 100%.The biggest compliment I can give "Nirvana The Band" is that its style of comedy at the moment feels completely fresh, like nothing I've ever seen before. And -most importantly- it feels not only "new", it also really works. The guys embody their characters so completely that nothing ever feels "acted" and the ideas that drive the "plot" are so surreal and insane that I cannot even begin to imagine how they manage to come up with them.This is the best new show I've discovered in 2017 so far, I really hope that it eventually gets the audience it deserves! My guess as to why it has been mostly overlooked, is not that it is "too weird" (Compared with, for example, something like the Eric Andre Show), but rather that it sort of defies the comedic fashions and stylistic devices of the time. It's completely its own thing- which sounds vague and meaningless, but if you've watched it you'll certainly see what I mean!

Every episode made me laugh, laugh HARD. I really recommend this show to anyone looking for a funny, exciting and "I'm really looking forward to their next season" type of show. Made extremely well and the story is actually brilliant! Another cool aspect is that it's not set in a typical 'Hollywood' setting: it's set in a Canadian city and take a new, and to be honest refreshing, spin on what funny really is. Hope you watch it. YOU'RE WELCOME in-advance.

This show is extremely funny, riveting and even intelligent. The seamless nature of fiction and sometimes prank level reality creates a really unique narrative. The two guys work extremely well together. Chemistry and character is on point. The stories they tell in each episode are so clever, and so well crafted, and can either bring tears of joy or tears of sadness. I will support the heck out of this show and it needs WAY more attention. Spread the word! I'm sorry, but it is a masterpiece. I see no flaws, because the flaws it has just add to the character of the show. Season 2 please.

This show is brilliant, Jay and Matt are rising stars in Canadian media. The Borat inspired style of film making used in "The Dirties" and "Operation Avalanche" was continued in this show and it improves on both those films. The real people in the show have brilliant reactions, and the fake people are so good at acting that their reactions seem real enough that it all blends together so well you cant tell whats fake and whats real. Each episode is a brilliant display of Jay and Matt's genius and I hope this show gets more traction.
