So, decided to watch the first two episodes of the trades. To be honest wasn't sure what to expect. Off the hop, I'm glad to finally see a show that is related to a field of work that represents blue collar workers and bring a comedic spin on the trades.
I work in a refinery for 20+ years and being able to laugh at things that happen day to day to myself and being able to relate, is a breath of fresh air.
Nai sayers may say that it's not what they expected, however, thank god it's not another law office or crime series.
I can't wait to see what this show has to offer because the first two episodes were very entertaining.
*Update*
So I watched episodes 3 and 4 and I have to say, it's totally growing on me. Most comedy shows I watch are usually hard to get into until you get a feel for the show and if you like the characters, but with the trades it's different than most shows. It's not just like watching actors in their living room episode after episode. The fact that this is more of a in the workplace scenario makes it different and better, kind of like the office.
Watching shows like this makes way more relatable for all people. I mean let's be honest, if you have watched the Trades, we all have a Todd at work, we all have a Todd's sister at work and most have a Backwoods (hilarious). It's things like this, that make shows entertaining to watch.
I'm hooked and can't wait for more episodes to air!
