It is a nice start, but we need to wait a bit to see how it compares to the previous two series.

Channel Dave has ordered two more series of Taskmaster, the show created by Alex Horne in which Greg Davies sets comedians challenges.
British Comedy Guide, 3rd October 2016Preview: Taskmaster series 3
It feels as if the second series of Taskmaster has only just finished but the third series starts on Dave on Tuesday, October 4 at 10pm.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 2nd October 2016As Greg Davies's sitcom concludes, it's Dan's last day before he heads to the US to join his lady love, Emma. While some will scarcely miss his haplessness, Jo is trying to make his departure go with a bang, sorting out a party bus. Well, a van. A van that smells of meat. In fact, it's a meat van. Things go from bad to worse when the party and its guests go awol, but Tony Robinson's Daedalus finally gets his comeuppance, so it's not all bad.
Ben Arnold, The Guardian, 17th August 2016Greg Davies's amiable sitcom reaches the penultimate episode of its third season. The sound of the Star-Spangled Banner fades into the background as Dan's discovery of his adoption certificate sinks in and his mind wanders to the life he could have led. A good time to escape from the squalor of his adoptive family and take to the beach with Jo (Roisin Conaty) - a trip that also appeals to Brian's children, at least when the only other option available is a dull day out with their fastidious father (Mike Wozniak).
Mark Gibbings-Jones, The Guardian, 10th August 2016It's time for 'Man Down' to grow up - review
Who is Man Down (Channel 4) for? Or rather, who was it for? There's one episode to go in the third series and there's a sense that it is seeing itself out, and perhaps won't be allowed back in through Channel 4's doors.
Jasper Rees, The Telegraph, 10th August 20165 questionable moments from Taskmaster series 2
Oh boy, Taskmaster's second series was a ride to say the least, and an enjoyable one at that! Looking back, here's our five most questionable moments from the show.
Callum Moorin, The Angry Microwave, 2nd August 2016Man Down catches up with sad sack teacher Dan (Greg Davies) as he finally comes to the realisation that maybe he's chosen the wrong profession. By the end of the first episode, which saw Dan try to break into the school to destroy his personal file, he'd handed in his resignation which suggested to me that the sitcom may be covering new ground. This can only be a good thing as I'd found Man Down had been stuck in a rut for a while now so seeing Dan trying to pursue alternate career opportunities will at least give Davies and co-writer Mike Wozniak something new to work with. Tony Robinson as Dan's mum's new beau Daddy, short for Deadalus, who has already made it known that he isn't a fan of the protagonist's attitude towards the older ladies in his life.
