9/10
What an adventure.

This show is bloody brilliant. Tim and Eric are absolute comedy geniuses, and it's cool to see that they were like that from the start. I believe they were around 25-26 years old when they wrote the very first TGttM, and even from such a young age they had already established their unique brand of humour with great competence.

This show is also tremendously bleak, and almost feels post-apocalyptic at times. I honestly can't tell if the mayor is a complete airhead or a megalomaniacal genius who has the town under his thumb, using Tom to do his evil bidding and then making him take the fall for it.

Tom Goes to the Mayor is a must watch, whether you're a T&E fan or a lover of dark humour, dry humour, and satire.

Also, fair warning: some of the episodes are flat out hard to watch due to how much suffering Tom goes through, to the point where it's actually depressing. Despite that, I'm already excited to re-watch it in the near future!
