Reviews

Taskmaster: Champion of Champions has been mostly well-received by critics and audiences alike, building on the success of the original series. On IMDb, the show holds a solid rating of approximately 8.4/10, reflecting positive viewer engagement for its humor and inventive challenges. Critics have praised the show for maintaining its freshness even with returning contestants, noting the clever task design and host Greg Davies’ charismatic and imposing presence as highlights. Rotten Tomatoes-like platforms don’t have extensive coverage for this niche British comedy panel format, but user reviews online acclaim it as a ‘brilliant mix of absurdity and cleverness’ and ‘an unparalleled source of lighthearted entertainment.’ Some reviews, however, mention that viewers unfamiliar with the original Taskmaster series may find it less accessible due to the lack of newcomer introductions and that the humor’s appeal can be quite subjective given its reliance on British panel show dynamics. Overall, the consensus celebrates the show’s originality, unpredictability, and its ability to elevate the comedic panel show genre.
