Amy Huberman. Finding Joy.

The Crowman

Going by the trailer this looks seriously annoying.

watched this with a very open mind. a few laughs. huberman not funnt at all imo. co star with the baby at the end was great. fairly basic tbh but i suppose they need content. i cant imagine its very expensive to make. neil morrisey for ten seconds just bizarre.

Man Vs ManUre

The only good show she ever did was ‘On home ground’ I think it was called. About the gaa.

I concur, her talent lies in dispensing coffee and biscuits in the RTÉ canteen. That, and being married to BOD magically opens doors.

Threesome predated BOD afaik, and it wasn't an RTE production. I thoroughly enjoyed it and she struck a good line in making a potentially very unlikable character - drugged out orgies, abortion jokes, consistently terrible person - quite charming.

Threesome had some fairly edgy comedy at times, the tone was somewhere between Spaced and Catastrophe, so I was always a little baffled at where she went from there.

Ouch!

Are you saying if I was married to GBOD doors would open for me too?

The first episode had all of the problems of the previous series

No development, it’s got an idea it has a script but no one re-read and you need this changed, and don’t bother with this. Because this the show flips from one place to another for no reason.

The cast aren’t terrible but they aren’t working with very much.

If there were other Irish Drama being produce it would relatively go under the radar, but as this is one of 2 only from RTÉ it gets hyped up.

In term of cost, I imagine the cameo from Neil Morrissey was costly, not only his fee but also the flight and hotel and ultimately unnecessary.

The new tarot card reading flat mate was added to give it an English dimension, part of RTÉ said policy on co-productions, one character must be English!

I loved Huberman in Comedy Central's Threesome, I think she's well able for better than this.

haha I think someone in RTE is trolling Huberman by scheduling The Snapper right after her load of dross. Hopefully she is still watching and might pick up a few tips from Roddy Doyle on how to actually write good comedy

Seriously? Roddy Doyle?

[Deleted User]

Didn't think last season was quite as bad as some are suggesting (I got a few laughs in any case), but didn't think it was amazing or worth anything more than a bored rainy Tuesday evening or oooh look it's Dublin on the telly type of watch. I haven't seen any of this one so not fair to comment, but what does really really really annoy me is that I know so many HUGELY talented actors/writers/comics who are truly deserving and have such different, new, interesting, refreshing, funny voices and views. And I would really rather my licence fee support them.

Nothing on Amy, 'cos she's just doing her thing.

But the lack of support and development of new and emerging talent (both old and young) is unforgivable.

Muahahaha

Have to say I like her but this show isn't aimed at my demographic so I won't comment. Then again Cork got the young offenders and Derry the derry girls why not a Dublin comedy show Dublin known for its wit and all, like.

Gods Gift

Amy should stick to the baking.

That didnt stop Tubridy saying it was a smash hit show on the Late Late last night when he interviewed Huberman who responded in kind by doing her fake laugh over and over again throughout the interview. These RTE luvvy types live off two things- massaging egos and getting their ego massaged. It is real pass me the puke bucket stuff.

I did Tubs fancies her, the LLS interview with her he was nearly creaming himself

crossman47

Thats awful stuff

How is she still in drama. Totally talentless...

Obviosly not a hit. Viewing figures show this. Not even in the top 20 RTE1 shows for the week.

Viwers switched off in spectularly numbers after her last try out. The Angelus got a better performance. 200000 viewers after the Nine News?

It's large down to RTÉ decisions on how they fund Drama. Drama that is not a co-production is often subsited by the BAI. Finding Joy for season 1 as part funding by the BAI, they choose not to provide funding to season 2, hence the delay in getting it to air, this money was found from Acorn TV who are an American pay on demand service providing British TV. The head of Drama at RTÉ was up to recently head of content at Acorn TV.

I wonder what kind of money Huberman would get for something like Finding Joy. Like would it be 50k, 100k or maybe even higher? Of course with everything to do with RTE it is impossible to know but knowing their form there is probably huge amounts of money sloshing around for these programs that they and the BAI fund.

It's the runt of British TV, particularly now that BritBox has started up.

Similar situation for her court room drama series, but I think the BAI funded both season along with Acorn TV's participation. I think, or maybe its the same story as with Finding Joy.

tanked fairly quickly iirc

surprised as they would just commission another show for her with the same premise of her being an "underdog, unlucky in love we root for" just the job would change

She always seems to play the exact same unlucky in love character, its basically Bridget Jones over and over again

ligerdub

The numbers are irrelevant. RTE Commissioning is based on patronage not quality or popularity. I can just see the person giving this the green light, possibly a regular bruncher with "Aymz", having an odd "cheeky vino". RTE doesn't rely on making a profit, so they can put out as much rubbish and politically slanted nonsense all they want as far as they are concerned.

Odd they've put it on Saturday but they probably were hoping they'd get a lockdown level 5 and get some numbers to "justify" her constant chances
