Phillip J @RT65187272 05/23/2025 Must-watch show for people who like their comedy characters to be quirk, flawed, dark, real-world relatable, emotionally-deep. Same vein as Somebody Somewhere but more slapstick. Don't be deterred by the apparent clown theme..references are light. Louie Anderson is phenomenal as Christine. You end up really rooting for this character. See more Georgan G @RT98616417 02/10/2025 This great comedy has so much character development that I wish I could get the later seasons. Love to watch this ridiculous cast interact. See more john r @RT64648487 10/02/2024 I gave season 1 a 4.5. In a world now full of quirky comedies dealing with serious themes, Baskets manages to outdo them all. If you loved season 1, of course you're going to have to watch season 2. I knocked a star off of this season's rating because this season veers in a more dramatic direction, and there are fewer of the deliriously funny jokes that made me fall in love with this series. On the other hand, it's smart that they made Chip more realistic as a character. He's less of a caricature of a manchild, and he has more normal human emotions. And shows are much more suspenseful if the protagonist is human enough that you care what happens to him. Part of the reason I stopped watching It's Sunny IP was because the characters were so loathsome that it was hard to summon any interest in their doings; at least not for dozens of hours! So based on this improved characterization, I added a half a star. So this was only marginally less enjoyable than the first season. I'm still amazed that FX aired such a delightfully niche, awkward cringe comedy for four seasons. See more 03/24/2022 This is peak Baskets. Every story line explored brings us somewhere we need to be. Louie Anderson, once again, is unbelievably good as Christine. This season we really learn who Christine is, and in a way we learn who we are ourselves. Also, it's so refreshing to see a Republican portrayed as what most are- an average person with virtues and deficiencies. That is, human. I enjoy how at the end of the day Ken and Christine don't have to vilify each other over politics. If only the rest of our country could behave in this manor. Martha, Chip, Dale, the twins- the whole gang- are top notch. This is just about as good a season as a 30 min comedy can have. Absolutely LOVE this season.

I'm perpetually afraid that they will hurt her but that also makes her compelling and poignant. See more Read all reviews
