J T @UtahRondo Nov 27 Great season one. Axelrod is such a great character. The writing in this show is well done. Really enjoy the music choices as well. See more A.L.Jude P @judebd Aug 4 Why waste time listening to lengthy monologues of dialogue? The plot feels surreal and could easily be compared to an Indian soap opera.

See more Alice M @RT71346911 03/13/2024 This show is BAD. I do not understand the positive reviews. The dialogue is amazingly awful, which might be okay if it was a bit tongue in cheek, but it's just cringe. Like whole scenes of two characters speaking in parallel allegories, which could be funny, except we're meant to take it seriously? And really uninspired sexual innuendo and insults, which you kind of feel the show is getting off on (it's certainly no Succession). No genuine psychological insight, 'cause psychiatry's a magic fix apparently, and even more because there's nothing at all real about any of these characters - they have the psychological depth of the kind of 'adult' character I would have conceived of as a teenager; ludicrous coincidences; a dizzying array of characters; whole storylines set up that are very easily resolved and disposed of, leaving you questioning what the point was. So many terrible lines, but one sticking with me right now involves the DA saying to his psychiatrist wife - who is, naturally, working for his nemesis - 'You're talented and you're beautiful. I'm sure you'll land on your feet.' Lol like what a bizarre credential beauty is for a psychiatrist. A stupid show that thinks it's smart. See more Marcus L @RT22580287 02/19/2024 Great show. Suits but more intelligence See more Some Guy F @RT75171520 10/05/2023 Every character in this show that has more than two lines of dialogue is essentially the same person. The writers do not know how to write anything except a pompous person who thinks they're the greatest and has to constantly prove it and make tons of references to show how clever they are. If it was just one character, it would work, especially if it was Paul Giamatti as he pulls off that insufferable type of person very well. The problem is you have every single character doing this stuff, including Dan Soder who is a stoner comedian, he's not a pompous windbag. See more Read all reviews
