This was a fun watch. If you're already a fan of Shane and a few of his "gang" from the comedy world you'll like this a lot. Stavros was really good in the episodes as well and I was most surprised by his performance. Steve who played Will was very strong. In the end you get a good connection with allthe characters and I'm glad to hear season 2 is a GO from Netflix. The first couple of episodes are a little slow but they all find their stride. I really liked all the characters. Schultz even was likable. Shane of course, was enjoyable to watch and some of his lines were delivered with perfection.

Is the show simple, yes, would someone who isn't familiar with Shane like it instantly, probably not, but that's the magic with everything Shane does. The writers Steven Gerben, John Mckeever and Shane have done a great job making something familiar but new, it could be compared to the office but it's really it's own beast because of the setting, this is male bestfriends doing what male best friends do and the humour that comes out is amazing. All cast members do a great job, the directing is good and the pace is solid once you are invested. Plus Shane earnestly leaning in and talking to Steven as Steven jumps between calmness and panic is a gem of a moment.

If there is any reason to watch this show, it is Steve Gerben - he makes this show what it is. The indie project aura of the trailer is exactly what you will receive in the show. Six, 20-minute episodes make the entire series an easy watch in one sitting. The show ramps up over time as characters slowly develop, although it feels like we never really get to know all of the cast due to the short series format. There are plenty of humorous moments, so long as you're willing to accept the premise of the show is looking through the narrow lens of a male dominated work environment. Steve Gerben plays a convincing role of ineptness and innocence, creating the perfect launching pad for comedic antics. With the announcement of Season 2 being ordered by Netflix, my only hope is the next go around has more time to highlight individual characters.

Listen, it's Shane Gillis. If you like Shane, you'll absolutely love this show. I had full and deep belly laughs every episode. The first couple episodes feel like a sketch show more than anything but once the story kicks in it really pulls some stuff together. The cast of characters have great chemistry. This is a show written by comedians for people who love dumb, stupid, hilarious juvenile comedy and that's me all the way. So if it's you, watch the show. I'm just here to support my boi Gilly and put another positive review on the webs because you're not gonna get any positive headlines in the media so here we are.

The cream always rises. Shane Gillis, well deserved!

"Tires" is a refreshing new addition to the comedy genre, offering a delightful and hilarious look into the lives of employees at a tire store. Shane Gillis delivers a standout performance that anchors the series with his distinctive comedic style and timing.

Gillis' rise to fame has been nothing short of extraordinary. Initially known for his sharp wit and standout routines in stand-up comedy, he has seamlessly transitioned to television with "Tires." His portrayal of the tire store's quirky, often befuddled employee brings a unique charm to the show, making every episode a joy to watch.

The series' strength lies in its clever writing and relatable, everyday humor. Each episode is a short but sweet exploration of the absurdities and idiosyncrasies of working in a tire store, from dealing with eccentric customers to navigating workplace dynamics. The ensemble cast around Gillis complements his performance perfectly, with each character bringing their own comedic flair to the table.

Despite its seemingly mundane setting, "Tires" turns the ordinary into something extraordinarily funny. The show's creators have managed to strike a perfect balance between humor and heart, making it not just a series of laughs but also a show with genuine warmth and relatability.

Overall, "Tires" is a must-watch for comedy lovers. Shane Gillis shines brightly in his role, and the show's fresh take on workplace comedy is both engaging and endearing. If you're looking for a series that offers quick, consistent laughs with a lot of heart, "Tires" is definitely worth tuning into.

The pilot felt like Curb with a more improvised feel and lots of space in between jokes. But in Episode 2, the jokes come faster, the writing improves, the editing gets slicker, and the human moments begin to hit. Overall I found it funnier than most sitcoms. The show leans more into the humor and less into plot, which is refreshing.

If you like Shane Gillis' standup you'll enjoy the show. If you don't appreciate standup or have a delicate sensibility, you'll probably find it offensive. And if you're one of those people hate watching to get offended and complain on Twitter, enjoy your manufactured outrage.

Overall, solid effort for a first season.

Episode one had me concerned, I wanted to love this show as a card carrying Dawg. Very happy to say from 2 onwards this is exactly what we wanted and expected from Tires. It's just a comedy and I mean that in the best sense possible, there's no moral message, no fancy plot points or gimmicky production decisions - the focus is on funny and show succeededs perfectly in that regard. If I had one piece of feedback for season 2 it would be very simple: MORE KILAH. She's hysterical in every scene and it could be great to have more plot points thrown her way. Hopefully season 2 allows for more episodes and more opportunities to integrate Kilah's character.

As a consumer, I am in love with work place comedies. TIRES definitely has potential to hit all the major needs for such a show. However, I felt that only 6 episodes for season one left us at a "cliff hanger" that didn't have enough time for the story and characters to develop where they needed to be. Idk if this was trust issues between Netflix and the writers but regardless the season needed way more episodes to keep people hooked. Would I watch season 2? Probably... HOWEVER, if it the plot isn't able to thicken and expand further than what they already have, then all I can say is bearish...

Tires has got to be the most surprising funny show I have seen in a very long time. Sure it seems super basic and 'Office-like', but the dialogue and manners that each and every one of the characters has is so ridiculously funny especially with each situation they get themselves into. I wish that there were a couple more episodes in the season, but it's perfect that another season was just announced a day after the first season was released. If you love 'The Office' or 'Parks and Recreation' I highly suggest you watch this show, but if you are not into a lot of cussing an extremely crude humor, continue with caution. I can't wait for Season 2!!!!!

The first two episodes are almost unwatchable, I only kept watching because I had time to kill. The 3rd episode it starts to pick up and you can see what kind of show it has potential to be but it's still not a good show. Shane Gillis is a funny guy but he's an atrocious actor, to be fair he is barely acting more just being himself but he can't keep a straight face. There's actually no good actor on the show but it's a decent concept that could be funny with some writing help and with really good guest appearances. I enjoyed it every time the "wops" came in and started saying dumb stuff. The biggest issue I had though was the entire season is 2 hours long, should've been 12 episodes minimum but we'll see.

Mr Billis has done a most satisfactory job with this serialised comedic play of fools. I especially liked the setting.

Having worked in the field of tyres for over a decade, I can tell you one thing, tyres aren't easy. They can be a cruel fish.

I call tyre work, rubbing rubber, because tyres is a life of rubbing up against rubber.

Interesting fact: The phrase, rub of the green, actually comes from tyre work. The old Dunlop racing range of tyres used by Jaguar F1 in the early 50s, came with a green line that encircled the rim. These tyres were very successful for Jaguar, hence the phrase, rub of the green, meaning, to be lucky.

I loved the Tires pilot from a few years ago, so I was more than excited when I found they were making it into a series. While the show had some funny moments, I think I would rather watch the original pilot 6 times in a row before watching these 6 episodes again.

Episodes 5 and 6 were the saving grace for the series. It gave a little hope for the second season building on what's here.

Characters were flat. You never knew or learned enough about anyone to really root for one single character. Show me something, what are they doing after work? Who are they away from the shop? Why are they stuck in this job? I get it's a show about the tire shop, but dang, make me care about someone on the show.

Show was funny enough. I'll hang in there for Season 2 hoping to see some growth.

The show was a banger that was pleasant in a time of hot garbage coming out of all mainstream places. It isn't worried about being deeper than it needs to be and it gives like a more graphic the office vibe from the show. I'm glad that netflix took an actual chance instead of the making it lame in order to appease the most annoying people possible. The first episode starts off a little slow but by the last episode I was sad that there was no more to watch. Hopefully they keep dropping seasons and netflix makes more of shows like this. Shoutout to the dawgz that watch the mssp podcast and were the biggest support behind the show!

I'm a Gillis fan so I might be biased since I definitely wanted to like it going in to my watching experience. The first episode was definitely slow but I think the storyline and the jokes and pace in general picked up considerably in the following episodes. There was a lack of substance to some of the characters that made it a bit hard to root for them or to buy in fully to the overall story. The twenty minute episodes do the writing a disservice as there's just an overall lack of depth to some of great ideas introduced throughout the episodes. Excited to see what they do with it in season two - enjoyed season one but just missing something that I hope they can bring in season 2.

The goal of this show is to make people laugh. That's it. It made my laugh a lot. Is it for everybody? No. Comedy isn't universal. That's why there are different varieties of comedy. If you didn't find this funny, that's cool. I did. Hence, the 9/10.

Shane nailed it. Stavros surprisingly can act. Heck, even Andrew Schulz had a decent go at it. For once, I didn't hate him.

Anyways, it was refreshing to see a show on Netflix that didn't worry so much about who it catered to or what story it told. It was just a casual comedy that doesn't take itself too seriously and in my opinion, that's exactly what comedies should be.

Alright. I watch classic films from Kurosawa to Hitchcock to Kubrick. But I also have enough of a sense of humor to just kick back with a cold one and have a full belly chuckle to some high school level raunchy humor - this show scratches that itch for me. Don't go in expecting revolutionary script writing. It's about dudes being dudes trying to matter at the tire shop around the corner. Shane Gillis, Stavvy, Schulzy, and that other guy from the podcast do a decent enough job to make you at least smirk. If that appeals to you, then let your hair down between panic attacks and you can take yourself less seriously a half hour at a time.

Not a single likable character. Gillis's attempt at smarmy charm in the style of Kurt Russell in Used Cars (albeit more low key) or Bill Murray in a lot of his 1980s output, comes off creepy and repellent. There is no real reason to root for any of these people, or even want to spend any time watching them. If you have a fondness for dude bro low bar low brow sarcasm, insisting that some punchlines are funny by simply having people repeatedly yell them, bullies you're supposed to cheer on as they mock thinly manufactured non characters propped up just to be made fun of in very forced and inorganic conversations, then this is the series for you. If you want to see morally questionable characters that charm you into liking them as they pursue dubious quests and goals do yourself a favor and watch Stripes, Meatballs, Caddyshack and Used Cars. Those are still very funny and politically incorrect (without the goal of trying to be politically incorrect) and will continue to be remembered as classic "slob" comedies for a years to come, whereas this is best forgotten or skipped entirely.

Ok..... you may not like, love, or even find this show funny- your cup of tea. But to say it's "just HORRIBLE" is completely ridiculous. It reminds me of similar filming of early office (obviously not a mocumentary or one on one interviews, etc) mixed with Eastbound & Down. Having said that, it met my expectations and even more. Great characters, dynamic, and unfolding plot. It feels like I'm at work when I watch this (I work in a kitchen) and makes work fun when looked at from an outsiders perspective. Very un "pc", but most good comedy pushes those boundaries & I think they nailed just that.

I throughly enjoyed the show and will now watch random episodes just for the giggles. Give it a watch & a chance and I think you'll see a lot more than what's on the surface. I'm glad they are doing another season because I wanna see where it goes! Isn't that how most great shows start out!? Cheers.

Exactly what you would expect from Shane Gillis. If you like Gilly and Keeves on YouTube you'll love this. They aren't afraid to push the line and don't care about cancel culture, because Shane has proven he can't be cancelled. Very funny and I highly recommend it!

Also, go watch all of his stand up specials. His life in Austin is on YouTube and it's hilarious and beautiful dogs on Netflix is even funnier. He has proven himself as the best comic out there currently and dare I say of all time. He definitely just plays himself in this show if he wouldn't have made it on the comedy scene and it fits perfect.

I did really enjoy watching this show. It's easy, light hearted but Shane Gillis is the star of the show, the rest of cast I found rather cringe. Not only only that, it had that obvious Netflix touch on it, trying so hard to still be edgy but being unsuccessful with it.

As a live sitcom in my opinion it would have world of been so much better.

The production value is high, but the quality of the show is low.

Saying this, it's all subjective and I still watched and enjoyed it. However it's not going to be rewatch.

I do hope for a second a season after they've tested the water with this one. However it's easy for 99% of to happily admit we only gave it a shot because we love Shane's comedy.

It's a blue collar version of The Office in which the goofy employees of a tire store get into all kinds of wacky shenanigans at work. It's a lot more lowbrow, outrageous and unrealistic than The Office but it's very funny in its own way. The small cast is affable and they play off each other well, particularly Steve Gerber as a well-meaning but incompetent manager as Shane Gillis as his lazy, insubordinate and domineering cousin/employee. There's nothing particularly original here but it's well done. Some of the gags will probably offend various sensibilities but the show doesn't have an obvious agenda beyond trying to make you laugh. It's refreshing.

I'm a fan of Shane. Episodes are short so time passes quickly. The premise is really basic so I'm not sure where this could go, but these first six episodes were enjoyable. The writing isn't going to win any awards, there aren't scenes that are really memorable, it's neither really witty nor is it a biting commentary on anything. It's blue collar lives having fun, surviving more than thriving, with their heart in the right place. It's clearly written so that Shane can shine, he does his thing, and it works well enough.

Some comments are calling it a blue collar version of the office, but here you really only have Shane carrying the show, so I don't see this going very far. Getting Netflix to bank a show is a great achievement in itself.

Preview for the show does not do it justice. Give this show a chance. Hysterical, ridiculous, heartwarming, simple, and enjoyable. The cast is great. The characters are interesting, and nothing about the show takes itself too seriously.

None of the jokes feel offensive or extremely far reaching because they're done with such a lighthearted air. This show gives a "baby "The Office"" vibe. With The Office you get moments of comedy that are so cringe it can be hard to watch. The cast doesn't mesh together very well and the episodes drag on. Not so with Tires. The comedy doesn't give you second-hand cringe and the cast meshes together very well. Extremely solid first season!
