Do you watch any of the other Taskmaster versions?
We watch the UK one (of course), plus the NZ one in my house (their second series is brilliant). I tried the US one but I’m not sure I even got through the first episode.
I’ve heard that the Norwegian (or was it the Danish?) Taskmaster was good but I haven’t tried yet. There’s quite a few to chose from now, too many for me to try myself.
I didnt particularly like the Aussie one, it wasnt bad, just didnt have the same vibe that the UK one had. The banter felt more like straight bullying, and the contestants seemed to be trying too hard to be funny/edgy/interesting.
Ill still watch next season if it comes out though, maybe they were just warming up.
I can only speak for the swedish version, and while it’s not quite on par with the UK one it’s still pretty good. “Bäst i test”
Does Fred the Swede at least have a cameo at some point?
Haha, unfortunately I don’t think so… They do have an Icelandic guy they use sometimes though.
New Zealand is amazing. Their host and assistant are my favourite, and I love all four casts so far
Australia was too basic in tone. I think they miscast their taskmaster
I keep meaning to try the Francophone Quebec one since it’s easy to stream in Canada, but I haven’t
Hi, American here. I’ve never heard of Taskmaster before until I visited England for the first time this past summer. I loved relaxing in the hotel room after a day of walking with so many great shows! TM was definitely the best and I must have watch all of series 8 through reruns on Dave while there. I could not believe that there were other versions, including American! Looks like it was a bomb, and I hate Lisa Lampanelli, so I won’t be looking that one up. I’m now on series 10 of the UK version and will be looking up the NZ and Australian runs as well! Thanks for the recommendations everyone.
