After three brutal, beautiful, dreadful, rewarding seasons, Review has come to an end. This tragedy cloaked in comedy is the best vehicle yet for Andy Daly, that master of cloaking anguish, corruption, and madness in affability. Jeffrey Blitz (of Spellbound fame) gives the direction an uncanny documentary realism that belies its absurdity. The unforgiving rhythm of Review, of Forrest’s rise and fall, hope and despair, lends it a depth that surpasses any comedy and most dramas. “Cryogenics, Lightning, Last Review” honors that depth.

If you ever doubt the importance of direction, cinematography, and framing to the tone of a narrative, just remember these two Review screenshots, seconds apart. A tiny tweak of perspective separates freedom from damnation, separates life from this simulacrum of life Forrest MacNeil inhabits, separates NEVER REVIEWING ANYTHING EVER AGAIN from REVIEW ANYTHING. And you can read my review of Review's uncompromisingly excellent series finale here.

#TBT: Before the Parks and Rec fame, comedian Aziz Ansari was doing Internet shorts with the Human Giant troupe. Watch this skit from 2006 where Aziz and Andy Blitz (Late Night with Conan O'Brien) spoof indie record store clerks at Other Music -- yes, it's a real place!

Go back to an age before HD video and Carlos D. jokes!
