"Blunt Talk" is easily the funniest new show I've seen in a long time.

Anyone else seen it? I never thought that Sir Patrick Stewart would be able to pull off a comedy like this, but he is crushing it. The second episode where he's trapped in the airport bathroom, I have not laughed that hard in a long ass time!

Here is the trailer if you haven't seen it:

He's one of the best actors of this or any generation. I have seen all the episodes to date and I got to say that it's absurdly funny. It might be the best pay cable comedy since Curb Your Enthusiasm was in it's heyday.

You absolutely have to see the second episode where he's trapped in the airport bathroom.

He has to go to court ordered rehab because of the events in the first episode, and his man servant, who doesn’t have a gambling problem, decides to go to Gambler's Anonymous. You can imagine what happens from there.
