Review with Forrest MacNeil

Description: A review of a movie, or a restaurant, or a car -- or whatever else that typically falls under a critic's domain -- is all well and good, and can even be helpful at times. But how can one find out about myriad other experiences that are never tackled in reviews? Enter Forrest MacNeil, a critic who goes beyond overviews of life's more-common subjects -- way beyond -- to satisfy the curiosity of others: The adrenaline rush of stealing; the danger of drug addiction; the delight of sleeping with a celebrity. MacNeil tries anything suggested by viewers of his TV show, then presents a 1-to-5-star review. But his unwavering commitment to experiencing intense adventures means he must deal with the unintended consequences of such a goal. Andy Daly ("Eastbound & Down") stars as MacNeil.
