    Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
    Helllins It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.
    Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
    Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
    hosekwork Damn. This is hilarious. I love the agent/booker, she's a blast. Tudyc is such a pompous ass in this. I don't know wether to root for him or not. He brlliantly plays both sides of a likable douchebag. Props to the short gay guy, the successful best friend, frodos buddy, the guy who wants his pen back and every other character in season 1. Hope to watch season 2 now. Looking for it.
    Kryptonite-Dragon I've watched the first season now and this is a really good show. I'm quite surprised at how funny it is without being silly slapstick or easy simple jokes. The situational humor gets carried through for subtle humor later and there are a lot of sci-fi stars making appearances throughout. Great show that I will continue to watch!
    Kev11sky On Saturday (Sept. 9-10, 2017) SYFY channel aired the entire first season of the web series "Con Man" on regular cable -- nearly 5 hours in length.I started watching it casually while doing something else... but it got more and more crazy, funny, satirical, and absorbing as time went on.It broke the proverbial "fourth wall" so many times that it might have broken the fifth wall a few times.I'm not sure if this counts as a spoiler -- but I will never again be able to watch the series "Firefly" or the film "Serenity" without a crazy sardonic impish memory of "Con Man" lurking inside my head.Thanks a lot, Alan Tudyk!And now I want to see the entire lost final episode of "Spectrum" -- stolen by that Dutch guy? Or what?
    tmf084 The show feels a lot like Spiner's Fresh Hell or at least the basic idea does. However, the production value and the list of guest stars (which is basically the a Who's Who list of fan favorites in the sci-fi / fantasy genre) are miles ahead in Con Man and the story and characters are overall a lot funnier. The premise of the show is about a sci-fi actor who's entire career is defined by his role in a short lived TV show and how he struggles with this "creative-stigma" on a daily basis. The humor mostly comes from scenes between Tudyk and convention fans, convention volunteers, his booking agent and other actors in his circle. And the anecdotal aspect of it (since Tudyk plays a parody of himself) makes this show extremely funny and I had to pause a couple of times to recover from laughter before continuing to watch. Though, in my opinion it also has enough funny material for people who aren't familiar with Firefly and Tudyk to make it just as entertaining to watch.
