It’s Mae’s dominance in everything but the prize task that’s making it a bit boring. The funniest parts of the whole thing have been Frankie’s comments on stage. Very little of the task footage is entertaining.


The hidden pineapple stash reveal in the last episode was typical Taskmaster goodness, but would certainly agree that Mae's dominance has kinda put a weird feeling on the series.

Been fine really.

I think this series has been great. Jenny is hilarious in a "crazy aunt" sort of way, Kiell's competitive anger is great, Frankie is kind of muted but still funny and Mae is the usual competent contestant.

I'm not sure about Ivo. Sometimes I like him, sometimes he's annoying. He's not enough to make or break the series for me though.

i think its a good series, the stage personalities arent as loud as earlier but you cant be mad because someone is good at the challenges

I think Kiell is my favourite this series, he looks like he's enjoying the Taskmaster experience. Frankie looks like he is only there due to some contractual obligation, that he will satisfy with minimal effort.

We've really enjoyed this series. Mae Martin is my favourite this time round.

Frankie Boyle has had me burst out laughing on a number of occassions.

I like this series but it's not top tier, it's missing chemistry between the contestants for me even though I do like them all I just feel it's missing something.

Frankie and Jenny have been great. I especially love the Frankie/Ivo team up where Frankie is like Ivo's dad, and Ivo daren't speak up even though he's right.

I have to agree, ive really taken to Mae Martin during this season, she has a very different comedy style that I quite like.

That was such a great moment. Perfectly summed up the situation.

We watched episode 1 of NZ TM on channel 4 on demand service and it's pretty unwatchable rubbish compared to the UK version.

Season 1 is okay at best, but Season 2 is one of the best series of Taskmaster entirely. If they show that, it's definitely worth watching.
