Genuinely insane man gets output on stage and laughed at
In all honesty I love Dan Harmon and this documentary is amazing, I’d prefer this to whatever dumbass TV show he may have written if he didn’t make this

COMMUNITY REVIEW
Good mornDean Greendale! Although I am bound to see many more great shows for a long time that definitely are better than Dan Harmon’s Community, this one will stick around for quite a while, just like Rick and Morty also has. I started watching a few years back and kept with all of Rick and Morty all the way up til their most recent season and then I’ve seen all of Community after that, so noticing the similarities has been really fun but I do feel more appreciative toward the first series Harmon created. Very well written for at least season 1-4 and 6. Season 5 was kind of tough to get through and I took breaks in the middle seasons due to boredom.
Highly uncontroversial opinion inbound: Abed and Dean Pelton are by far my favorite people to see in the show and I want to see more of Jim Rash in roles similar to the Dean. I hate puns but I’ll always let a Dean pun slide from now on. Ken Jeong’s Chang is also an unforgettable staple as well.
The ending season was great and emotional but also still a bit underwhelming by the end if I’m going to be honest. I was still pulling for a surprise cameo of Donald Glover by the end but it all worked out. In comparison to other sitcoms this one is mildly under the radar and deserves more attention. Nuff said.

Hopefully most of what I touch on in this won’t get too meda. But really, I’m not trying to put this guy on some pedestal in any capacity through this review, because he wouldn’t want that from a fan anyways. All it is is that through this documentary, you’re able to understand Harmon on a much deeper level and see how that reflects in his cult following work. As far as docs go and the way its made, yeah, pretty standard; so, I think that the critique of what this is shouldn’t solely fall onto that area. It’s more about the content and vulnerability it brings. A large majority of people probably may not connect with it as much because they may not know of Harmon’s work, who he is, or what he does. Which is fine, but it’s all the more reason to check it out I guess. He’s a cool dude, for the most part.
I just finished watching the last season of Community (which I will make separate review of under the Harmontown doc as a stand in) so, one could say, I’m kind of in the feels about Harmon’s impact through his work. The honesty and pure innate sense of hope that Harmon carries in everything he tries to do whether it’s writing, directing, podcasting, or otherwise, I can’t get enough and feel like I’ve struck gold on this lore about all of it. I want to start listening to all the Harmontown podcast episodes now to be apart of this mythology about Spencer the dungeon master and everything else Harmon talks about just about venting and such. This sounds pretty dramatic doesn’t it? So fucking what, heres some more. Personally, Harmon’s two shows Rick and Morty and now Community will always be some of the best American sitcoms I will ever have watched. Each both have their flaws and deep seeded cringe followings but at the end of the day it all comes back to the man that created them. Yes, this doc did make me cry.
“Nothing bad is going to happen because what we are doing is nothing”
