'BEST SHOW ON TV' WITH ICONIC THE SIMPSONS ACTOR IS NOW ON NETFLIX

Netflix has just added all episodes of what's been hailed as 'one of the all-time funniest shows ever' to its streaming catalogue.

Brockmire, a hidden gem yet to be discovered by many subscribers, is now available in its entirety across four seasons on the platform.

The show stands out for its lead role played by an original cast member of The Simpsons.

Hank Azaria, famed for voicing a host of iconic characters such as Moe Szyslak, Chief Wiggum, Professor Frink, Cletus, the Sea Captain and more, portrays Jim Brockmire, a renowned Major League Baseball announcer.

The character was conceived by Azaria himself for a short video on Funny or Die.

The series follows Brockmire as he endures a humiliating public breakdown live on air after uncovering his wife's repeated infidelity. A decade later, he attempts to resurrect his career and personal life in a small town, providing commentary for minor league baseball games for the Morristown, Pennsylvania Frackers.

Originally broadcast between 2017 and 2020, the show was met with critical acclaim upon its debut. It holds an impressive 98% rating on Rotten Tomatoes overall, only dipping to 94% for its first season, reports the Mirror.

The subsequent second, third and fourth seasons each garnered a flawless 100% score.

Devoted fans of the series have been vocal in their praise, with one viewer taking to social media to declare it as: "One of the all-time funniest shows ever put together."

They went on to say: "Absolutely brilliant. I'm so ticked the platforms don't do enough to promote it. Yes there is some serious adult content but so what?".

In a world where action and violence dominate, they lamented the lack of attention given to comedies like this, saying: "Especially in this landscape of everything's got to be action and violence it's no wonder that no one's making comedies when brilliant comedies such as this constantly slip under the rug because nobody promotes them the way they promote other things."

Another fan echoed these sentiments, expressing disappointment that Brockmire has largely flown under the radar. They said: "This is some of the best writing on TV. Unfortunately for the show it's smart humour and from what I've seen that is a hard sell this day and age."

They compared it to long-running sitcoms, adding: "I mean The Big Bang Theory had 19 seasons or some ridiculous run. Anyway keep it up Hank Azaria. I literally have to rewind some parts because I'm laughing so hard I miss the other jokes."

For those hesitant about the baseball theme, many viewers reassured others that it shouldn't be a deterrent. One person stated: "I don't give a flying anything about baseball and I loved this show. It shows the darker side of addiction, while being one of the funniest shows I've ever watched. Hank Azaria deserves more attention than he gets. Dude's a great comedic, and dramatic, actor."

Meanwhile, another viewer succinctly declared: "Outrageous, sincere, ridiculous, funny and fast paced! It is the best show on TV!"

Brockmire is streaming on Netflix, ITVX and Channel 5.
