Winter Binged 2022 - Bust Down - Season One

From the outstanding Life & Beth to Bust Down on Stan. The Winter Binged 2022 series is almost done and dusted, hello Spring! Well officially in Australia it is Spring today! However I will continue Winter TV Finales for the next week or so. A few great series are coming to a close this week. The Chi and Rap Sh!t take a bow whilst there are a few other series I'd like to smash that aired over the last few months.

Now to Bust Down starring Langston Kerman, Jak Knight, Chris Redd, and Sam Jay, that aired on Peacock back in March, 2022. Stan currently has an exclusive agreement for all Peacock originals right now.

Bust Down follows a group of friends working low-wage jobs at a casino in Gary, Indiana. Described  as predominantly about friendship and their intention for the show's comedy to be raunchy, irreverent, and complicated.

All six episodes were released simultaneously, whilst there is no word of a second season or more episodes on the way. My opinion will be there will be no more episodes of this off beat comedy.

I'd be super interested to know how many others on Stan have given this series a go. It has however received mainly positive critical reception, while holding a score of 76/100 on Metacritic.

Richard Roeper maybe gave the best review of Bust Down. Giving the series 3/4 stars and hailed the "biting social commentary, some ridiculously effective over-the-top physical shtick and a steady stream of laugh-out-loud moments" but also noted that the show "“will have some viewers bailing within the first 10 minutes of the premiere episode.

I don't think I can recommend this as much as I did Disney+'s Life & Beth.

Until next time. BYE Winter, HELLO Spring!
