I know nothing about them. I'd have to read up on them, like quality of life, safety, level of antisemitism, etc
Nz is more tolerant to different cultures at least in the 3 big cities, Australia offers a higher pay and lower living costs. However as a American they will not see you as much as an outsider. Crimes in NZ are the cost of living.
Interesting, I have heard AUS has like the highest quality of life on Earth so that does make it somewhat appealing. That and the good weather.
Australia also has yearly floods, wildfires or tornadoes depending on the area. And the wildlife will try to kill you.
As an Aussie, I can say the trope of "everything wants you dead" is highly overhyped. I've seen three venomous snakes in the wild in my life (and I've mostly lived in rural areas) and there's a couple of venomous spiders, but none that will kill you (unless you're very young, very old, or very sick). Blue-ringed octopuses, crocodiles and sharks exist, but rarely cause human deaths. You know what we don't have? Bears. Alligators. Cougars. Wolves. Very few carnivores trying to eat humans here, it's mostly creatures with excellent self-defense mechanisms.
Because they all got killed by box jellyfish, venomous spiders or drop bears!
Damn I forgot about the dropbears. Keep your wits about you and you'll usually be OK, plus we teach kids to stay in pairs if they're passing through a eucalyptus area.
Well, okay true lol
here in NZ I'd say we are much more progressive than the states, although we have a centre right government at the moment.
you will earn less than the US I would think, but I would hope that our quality of life is better.
Safety? not every second person is carrying a sidearm or protesting with an AR style firearm
Yeah a lack of gun culture would be a huge plus for me. I'll def look into NZ
You guys also have a wayyyy better version of Taskmaster than the garbage we got in the US which is pretty cool
Oh no. I've watched All but an episode or 2 of the new series for UK, and all of Australia, and New Zealand. I'm assuming there is a reason I had no idea there is an American version
The American version failed miserably in so many ways.
I like Reggie Watts but he was either the wrong choice for Taskmaster or he just didn't understand the role. It didn't help that Alex Horne reprised his role as an assistant and there was just.....zero chemistry. The NZ and Aus versions have a different dynamic than Greg/Alex but they do seem to get along. Alex seemed very out of place with Reggie...almost like a British butler stereotype. I don't know how to describe it.
I thought the cast choice was bad, too. There was no one notable and their personalities weren't quite as varied as other series. I won't say who but there was also one who I consider to the worst contestant of any series ever by a wiiiide margin. Didn't have an opinion on them before but now I can't stand them.
Lastly, the pacing felt so.....off. The episodes were half as long and while you'd think that might make for tighter comedy, I remember being so bored watching it. There was basically no banter at all. You never "got to know" the contestants and I didn't feel the desire to look them up like I did with a lot of the UK/NZ/AUS cast.
It's not even worth watching to understand what I mean. I strongly encourage you to just forget it exists.
[Edit] I couldn't remember the whole cast so I looked it up and of course found people shitting on it. A few other things I forgot: all of the tasks were repeats from the UK version and at least one contestant was straight up mean to Alex (who is a precious angel that no one should be mean to)
Thanks for the reply! Will be giving it a pass
