TV-14Synopsis
Taskmaster (2015), Season 19 is the British comedy you can watch online on iFILM — ten episodes of pointless tasks judged with total seriousness. Greg Davies presides; Alex Horne does the suffering.
Five fresh contestants put their dignity on the line: Fatiha El-Ghorri, Jason Mantzoukas, Mathew Baynton, Rosie Ramsey and Stevie Martin. The challenges get sillier as it goes. Someone invents a brand-new way to walk, someone punches a mannequin, and Horne's shoes end up drenched in yoghurt. Mantzoukas reaches for violence almost every round, Baynton sheds whatever pride he had left, and by the closing run Patatas the cat makes a comeback. The scoring follows rules only Greg understands.
Horne built this format himself, and a decade in it has a BAFTA and a worldwide cult following. Season 19 keeps the chaos dialled up — stream all episodes in order and watch the five slowly lose the plot. Watch Taskmaster Season 19 online on iFILM.
