Brockmire: One Of The Best Comedies Under The Radar

Published

on

Season 2 of IFC’s hit comedy Brockmire, about an alcoholic unfiltered baby boomer who suffered a major melt down on air, comes to an amazing start and the season is almost over.

Brockmire is crude and absolutely vulgar but is brutally honest. Its like having the social media voice of Nihilist Arby’s in a character that is flesh and blood, similarly to the character rantings of other beloved characters such as Bruce Campbell’s splatstick legend Ash Williams and John C. McGinley’s iconic Dr Percival Ulysses Cox.

The show deals with some serious topics like racism, generation gaps, love, death, and the reason for existence, wrapped up in a whiskey filled glass of torment and shame.

Throughout this season Brockmire is recovering from the woeful disgrace of a public meltdown and on his road to redemption. He has filled his time and emptiness with a podcast created by his manager, partner and friend Charles, who does his fair share of keeping the infamous celebrity in check.  The stories are wild, crazy and uncensored; something that every young millennial in this age want’s to get a hold of.

Opportunities don’t come around often and this season Brockmire is tested as his old franchise is giving him a second chance to get back in the saddle of announcing Atlanta’s major league games. One caveat is that he must compete for the spot with up and coming announcer Raj who is hungry for a chance to prove himself.

Its a non stop adventure for Charles and Brockmire, holding down a podcast, keeping up with the demands from the team management and public relations, while keeping up some semblance of a love life.  The scenarios written into this comedy created by Joel-Church Cooper are completely outrageous yet tickles the mind as well as the funny bone.

The season is coming to a close with a scant 8 episodes but fear not as IFC has renewed the show for 2 more seasons; until 2020. It is a wonderful binge as long as you don’t get offended easily and definitely worth the watch.

 in Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con, Rick Riordan and Disney+ revealed that Daniel Diemer (“Under the Bridge”) will star as fan-favorite cyclops “Tyson” in the epic adventure series “Percy Jackson and the Olympians.” Diemer joins Walker Scobell (Percy Jackson), Leah Sava Jeffries (Annabeth Chase) and Aryan Simhadri (Grover Underwood) as a series regular. The Disney+ Original series from Disney Branded Television and 20th Television will start filming its second season next week in Vancouver.

Season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is based on the second installment of Disney Hyperion’s best-selling book series titled “The Sea of Monsters” by award-winning author Rick Riordan.

His friendship with Annabeth is changing, he learns he has a cyclops for a brother, Grover has gone missing, and camp is under siege from the forces of Kronos. Percy’s journey to set things right will take him off the map and into the deadly Sea of Monsters, where a secret fate awaits the son of Poseidon.

Diemer stars as Tyson – a young Cyclops who grew up all alone on the streets, and finds it difficult to survive in the human world.  Shy and awkward, with a heart almost as big as he is, Tyson soon discovers that Poseidon is his father, which means Percy Jackson is his half-brother… and that Tyson may have finally found a home. 

Diemer recently starred in the Hulu limited series “Under the Bridge” based off the critically acclaimed book of the same name and a tragic true story of a missing teen girl in Vancouver in 1997.

He is a graduate of Victoria Academy of Dramatic Arts in Vancouver.
