Stephen C @bob25009 05/26/2025 LOL, 8 funny episodes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more Max A @Mxxx76 09/29/2024 Not only this show can't justify its own existence, but it also lacks of everything it was supposed to bring : comedy, emotion and, please, good acting See more 06/28/2021 This show--which appears to have come out in 2019--was shoved in my feed by Netflix in June 2021. Normally Netflix's original stuff is really bad but this particular show was a delight! Clever and not a downer. I will watch till the end See more 06/28/2021 Shallow and vapid.I'm sure William Fox is rolling in his grave. See more 05/21/2021 Formulaic tripe. It would have passed muster 20 years ago. Obnoxious characters that you don't even care about. Too over the top trying to make sure the viewer is very aware of how really soulless and empty most people in the actual city of Los Angeles are. See more 02/10/2021 This show is brilliant. I really don't understand the lukewarm reviews. The writing is phenomenal - sharp, complex, original, unique. And all the parts of the story connect and twist together to culminate into a surprise season ending. Some of the finest dramedy around. The show satirizes certain parts of American culture, but never in a way that is completely damning. While you may find yourself laughing AT all the characters, there is still good to be found in them - Viv is too intense and controlling yet is a devoted and loving mother; Jason is a manchild, but an emotionally torn and caring one; Luke should be the one-note, vapid aspiring male model (who doesn't like jokes?!), except his rockhard pecs belie a sincere and sensitive heart, and if you're paying attention, ironically, some of the best and most subtle situational comedy moments involve his character; and Gad, well, Gad is, of course, the narcissist who must try to learn what it means to think about anyone else besides himself. The beauty of Gad in this show is that while he should be the "star," it's the ensemble itself that shines brightest. He is merely the medium that ties it all together. And Brian, his trusty though awkward assistant, is a wonderfully absurd foil. The superb acting really brings these bizarre humans to life, and the timing in this show is phenomenal. Dare I say there is an "art" to characters like Jason Alan Ross and the performance by Del Negro behind him? Oh, I dare. If all you're seeing is a caricature, then you're missing the point. And if all else fails, just enjoy the silliness of it all. In fact, I'm rewatching it a second time around because I'm still so sad that there isn't a second season. I find myself literally laughing out loud all the time. See more Read all reviews
