TV show or Movie: TV show
Where to watch: HBO Max
Premise: Former “Saturday Night Live” head writers Chris Kelly and Sarah Schneider are the creative forces behind “The Other Two,” a scripted series centered around two siblings desperately seeking their lot in life. Aspiring actor Cary is struggling to land better auditions than “Man at Party Who Smells Fart,” while his sister Brooke is simply struggling in general. As they work toward self-improvement, their lives are turned upside-down when their teenage brother Chase becomes an internet sensation overnight.
Cast: Heléne Yorke, Drew Tarver, Ken Marino, Case Walker, Molly Shannon, Josh Segarra, Wanda Sykes, Brandon Scott Jones
What it reminds me of: The show and the plot are both very original. What I like in a television show or movie is a cast that always wants to make it and be successful and never does. And that is this show.
Why I like it: Ken Marino and Molly Shannon. Need I say more? This show is super funny. The premise is essentially: what if Justin Bieber had two siblings that were absolute messes and lived in his shadow. Also, their mother loved all three of them equally and saw them all successful in her eyes.
