Watch the First Season of “The Other Two” for Free
“The Other Two” is a surprisingly smart and kind comedy about fame and the industrial complex of pop culture, or so it seemed from the pilot episode. You can now watch the entire first season for free on Comedy Central or the app on your Roku / Apple TV / Chromecast for the next two weeks.
This is great news for all of us who watched the pilot and then couldn’t access the rest of the show. You know when you borrow your parent’s login and for some reason the cable channel app won’t accept the password and you can’t talk to customer service because (1) they will find out that you are pirating your cable and (2) do you have to channel everything through your parents, who can hardly use the computer, and in any case set up the cable entry just for you? Okay, no problem, not for this show, not for the next two weeks.
The show (starring Drew Tarver and Helen York, as well as Molly Shannon and Ken Marino) follows two failed siblings who joined their younger brother’s entourage after his songs on YouTube went viral. What seems special about this show is that everyone in the main family seems to really love each other and at least try to respect each other deep down. Or at least that’s how I felt from the pilot and promo material that I could see without a working entrance to Comedy Central.
