Myles Barlow (Phil Lloyd) is back.
At long last the thinking man’s comedian returns with a second serve of his satirical series, Review with Myles Barlow.
The ABC comedy series, which picked up an AFI Award as Most Outstanding Comedy, will be seen on ABC2 Thursday July 22nd at 9:30pm.
Once again he will look at some of life’s big questions through the eyes of a critic and apply one of his five-star ratings.
The Critic. By giving us impressions of their experiences, critics can prepare us for certain life encounters before we commit to them ourselves. They help us navigate a seemingly endless maze of food, wine, literature, music, film, art, travel – the list is vast. But not entirely comprehensive. Until now…
Myles Barlow understands the impact of critical review at a depth seldom if ever before found. But surely, we face far more important issues than what movie to see or what book to buy, in the roller coaster of life!
Join Myles for a second series of the AFI Award-winning comedy Review with Myles Barlow, as he ponders the effects of any human experience his audience desires – and gives it a rating out of five stars. At last, a guide by which to truly experience life!
Myles begins the second series reviewing:
Wanderlust – the freedom and cultural experiences of travelling abroad. But after meeting fellow Aussie traveller Scott, Myles’s quest for enrichment goes anything but to plan.
Addiction – After listening to the plight of a young mother still breastfeeding her two-year-old, Myles dives head first into a life of addiction. His addictions quickly multiply until his life is an unforgiving monster, with an appetite Myles cannot control or satisfy.
Cult – The letter of the week asks Myles the worth of setting up a club. To answer this Myles recruits less fortunate souls to join his cult ‘The Barlowians’. Over time, Myles becomes consumed by his own power, with tragic results.

“Patience”. Waiting for something so long you forget you were waiting for it. Provides an windfall result when you least expect it. 5 stars.
I wish someone would bring back Heartbeat or Coronation Street as well.
Holy cow. I can’t believe it’s been that long.
Hopefully Review doesn’t disappoint. =D
Are they playing this on ABC1 as well? Such a waste if it’s not also given a shot on the main channel.
grrrrrr8
Misery – not seeing this for the last 18 months and suddenly a good news like this appeared, is well worth the wait – 5 stars.
Outstanding. 5 stars.
Definitely one of the smartest comedies on TV today and the most under rated Australian comedy. Let’s hope it’s not another 2 years between drinks again!
More winter awesomeness.
That is great news! Thanks for the update.
Great news! Looking forward to it.
brilliant news. it’s been too long.
