Except for what they've done to Tara Lipinski (which traumatized me and now I can't even think of her name without seeing it again and again in my traumatized mind), Jim Carrey SURPRISED ME. I consider myself as a HUGE fan of Jim Carrey, He almost always made me laugh, but I never thought that Jim Carrey can make me feel other things which are not fun. I never thought that Jim Carrey can touch my feelings, make me feel anger, make me feel sad, make me feel like Jeff Pickles is... Me. If Jeff Pickles was real, I don't think I would left my kids to watch him. But I still can understand why does the people in the show do trust him: Jeff Pickles is an honest man who wants to deliver the "adults life" that he experienced to his child viewers, Because just like them - He himself is a child who will never grow up, even if his body will. He needs his own Jeff Pickles which he'll never have - because his own Jeff Pickles (Jill, his ex-wife) just left him, his pickle-father is too d**n busy with his own collapsed life and his sister can't hold him anymore because she can't even hold herself. Jeff must go through all the steps alone, Way too late into the adults life, and deal with feels that can not live in a cartoonish-child world. Season 2, Ep. 5, Jim and Judy - thanks for making me cry... JIM I LOVE YOU AND HATE YOU AT THE SAME TIME, This is the BEST of Jim Carrey, and f*ck the critics.

Never Really Explores The Multiple Themes It Attempts To Unpack. There Is So Much Going On The Drifting From One Montage To Another Just Create A Mash Of Ideas. Nothing More, Nothing Less. Nothing Ventured. Nothing Gained.
-
This is one of my favorite TV shows. I wish they would continue it.
-
This is just sooo good. I'm only at episode 6 season 1 but I must say I haven't seen such good not only television but on-screen storytelling in ages.
-
Really good show! how can people have cancelled it :-(
-
I think it's one of the best things Jim Carrey have done since Eternal sunshine of a spotless mind. He is just a good Guy Who got broke by real life cruelty
-
It's hard to overstate how much I enjoyed this show. It's dark humor is nearly unmatched while still pointing to the need for healthy emotional expression.
-
Damn Jim Carrey is a GREAT actor, Simply GREAT.
-
If Mister Rogers had a dark side and a break down is the best way to describe the show. Carey plays the role of Jeff Pickles extremely well here showing us more of his serious side of acting

This show is incredible. If you haven't seen it yet (most never will), there is no adequate way to describe just how DIFFERENT it will be from what you think it is. I feel like that needs to be the starting point because most people will assume that this show is about a fictionalized version of Mr. Rodgers. It's not. That is just the wrapping the show comes in, but the range of themes the show covers and the swings between dark comedy, artistry, human drama, and wittiness belies a very very brave and carefully constructed series. You know how most people will say "It's a great show but you gotta watch more than one episode." ... well for Kidding, you really don't get a sense of just how good it is until about three in. Even then, there were times in Season 2 in which my wife and I would turn to each other and say "How the f**k is this really happening in this episode?!" You probably want a comparison. There really are none, so instead here's a cocktail comparison: 2 parts "Six Feet Under" 1 part "Arrested Development" 1 part "Big Lebowski" and a sprinkle of "Memento" zest that's as close as I can get you to what this incredible show is like.
