New HBO Max Comedy Debuts With Perfect Rotten Tomatoes Score (& It’s A Wild Masterpiece)

by

As a huge fan of good TV, I’ve been loving the buzz around HBO’s newest comedy, *The Chair Company*. It’s not just critics who are obsessed – audiences are really connecting with it too! It actually scored a perfect rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with 35 critics giving it rave reviews from Tim Robinson and Zach Kanin. And it’s not just the critics, because regular viewers seem to love it just as much – it’s currently at 85

So far, *The Chair Company* is proving to be a hit, and the positive reception seems earned. Critics love the show’s often uncomfortable and exaggerated humor – IndieWire even called it “superb,” praising its captivating and funny storyline. Viewers seem to feel the same way. Some have compared it to a more relaxed take on Robinson’s film *Friendship*, while others find it strange but compelling. Overall, people are excited to see what happens next.

The Chair Company is Tim Robinson’s Latest Foray Into Cringe, Sometimes Absurd Comedy

The series *The Chair Company* follows William Ronald Trosper (Robinson) as he unravels a bizarre conspiracy after a humiliating mishap: his chair breaking during a crucial work presentation. What starts with a broken chair quickly spirals into a strange and complicated investigation. The show’s cleverness lies in how Trosper’s relentless pursuit of answers makes you question whether his suspicions are justified, or if it’s all just a result of a faulty chair. It’s surprisingly relatable, and often unsettlingly so.

If you already enjoy the work of Zach Robinson, you’ll likely feel the same way about *The Chair Company*. Like his popular Netflix series *I Think You Should Leave*, it relies on cringeworthy comedy and bizarre situations. While *I Think You Should Leave* was a sketch show that ran for three seasons and earned high praise – with the first and third seasons scoring 96

The Chair Company is the latest project from Robinson and Kanin, who previously collaborated on I Think You Should Leave and their earlier show, Detroiters. Detroiters, a comedy about two friends running a small advertising agency in Detroit, aired for two seasons on Comedy Central.

The Chair Company airs Sundays on HBO and HBO Max.
