Twentysomething Josh is going through a number of big changes as he navigates his first decade of adulthood. After being dumped by his girlfriend, he comes to the realization that he is gay. After that shocker, he moves back into the family home to help care for his mother, who has previously attempted suicide. He later moves out and into a house with best friend Tom. With his life in disarray, big challenges await Josh in his immediate future, which are especially hard for someone like him, who with a natural aversion to drama and emotion. So he deals with it all -- only in his own awkward, self-centered way.

Lauren Carroll Harris Guardian 08/01/2019
It's a bittersweet program and as [Josh] Thomas perfects the sitcom form, season four might just be enough to dignify this critically under-appreciated format in Australia. Go to Full Review
Emily Nussbaum The New Yorker 11/21/2018
The show's joyfulness is due as much to its confident aesthetic sensuousness as to its subject matter. Go to Full Review
Alison Herman The Ringer 08/15/2017
Please Like Me, whose fourth season quietly made its American debut on Hulu last week, realizes the potential of the post-Friends hangout even better than its abundant stateside peers. Go to Full Review
Matilda Dixon-Smith Junkee 10/18/2017
Only one episode has been released so far, but it's already clear the series is keeping up that incredibly high standard from season three. Go to Full Review

10/10
If season four is indeed the shows last it will have gone out on a high note, genuinely capturing the awkward shift between young adult and still figuring it out and should have figured it out by now adult. Go to Full Review

Kathleen H @RT20191880 03/17/2023 Sooooo....wow. This show had quite the ending. It started out as just this happy-go-lucky show about a few friends trying to find love and it turned into a deep dive into mental health and what we all really feel about what we deserve in love and in life in general. It rocked me to my core. Be prepared, the last few episodes are nothing like the others and you might cry, especially if you've been as invested in the characters as I had been. This show, all in all, was phenomenal. Truly. I am so lucky I found it and I am so glad I watched it. It's beautiful. It's heartwarming. It's colorful. It's freeing. It's arresting. It's hilarious. It's breathtaking. It's relevant. It's clever. It's compelling. It's dysfunctional. It's ambitious. It's tragic. It's.....well, it's perfect. Watch it, you won't regret it. See more 04/05/2021 the show is pretty unassuming in most of its interactions, yet in this particular season if you have been following the show it really pays off with an absolutely devastating ending that is worth every single minute one spent watching all four seasons of this show, truly one of the best episodes ever produced by any show and one of the best endings ever shot too. See more 08/06/2017 Hilarious and heartbreaking, Season 4 is possibly the best season of this Please Like Me. Hannah has some absolute zingers this season. I genuinely laughed out loud so many times and was absolutely heartbroken by this season. See more 05/17/2017 I absolutely loved this show. the characters grow so much. I'm really gonna miss them See more 12/24/2016 This is legitimately my favourite show in the world See more 11/25/2016 Please Like Me is one of the most beautiful pieces of writing I have ever seen. All at once it is funny, sad, poignant, real, searing and eventually uplifting. I am full of admiration of Josh Thomas' work. The first three seasons took you to the depths of human experience, fear, worry, doubt but always resolved itself by ultimately focussing on human dignity. I am hoping season 4 will be the same, that the journey through the gamut of unpleasant insides we all have and which Thomas so painfully bares for us all to see will evolve once again into finding that place where we are all bound together and can see beauty in our human predicament.
