While I'm Dying Up Here hints at untapped potential and deserves praise for authentic period detail, its attempts at affecting drama are undermined by subpar writing and a muddled focus. Read critic reviews

I thought it was well written and marvelously acted. The writers take you on a journey with the unpaid comedians who struggled to make ends meet while trying to get their shot at fame on The Tonight Show. The title may have kept many from watching it since it didn't give much of a clue to what it was about. Anyone who had preconceived ideas on what it is about could be disappointed. A drama about comedians lives in the 80's. The Comedy Store was the place where our favorite comedians tested their material and plied their trade for little in return. I was so disappointed that there was no Season 3.
-
Great premise for a feature, but writers clearly had no idea how to keep momentum going for an entire series--which is truly unfortunate, because there is so much potential here.
-
The idea is good but the characters lack depth. When they're not on stage they still seem to be acting. Most of the jokes are not that funny. As I get older I realize how shallow & creepy artists are. I never liked Jim Carrey. A third season would be filled with meaningless soap opera drama.
-
I just found out this series was canceled. Started watching it on my Showtime app without knowing much about it. I'm devastated. As a big Marc Maron fan, it was so cool to see so many interview conversations he's had about Mitzi (and the LA comedy scene) come to life. The characters have drawn me in, and I can't believe I only get two seasons with them. I'm not sure who decided to cancel this series, but that person was wrong.
-
Sucks it was cancelled after just 2 seasons.
-
I love this series and I'm gutted that it's been cancelled. Bold strong characters, complex story lines, politically relevant themes. Come on Showtime bring it back!
-
Excellent writing and cast. Very surprised to see the critics ratings. I thought it would get a 9. Stumbled across the show and and binged S1. Now onto S2 and hope it stays captivating. I thought S1 was exceptional.
-
This is an amazing show but I feel like the writing is all over the place and doesn't really ever lead to much. Then again life as a comedian can be muddled and that is what this show is about. I hope to see a season 3.
-
This show is great! I have o idea why the critics reviews are so poor. The performances are terrific, the scripts are well done and there is real tension in the character development.
-
DARk, HIlarious, and very well writte and acted. One oF the best shows on caBle!
