Meet Tim, a 20-something New Yorker who would like nothing more than to be the average guy his girlfriend, Amy, yearns for. Unfortunately, Tim has a bad habit of chronically finding himself in awkward, scandalous situations. He is the one usually caught red-handed, while the shady characters he befriends go blameless.

Critics Consensus

The Life & Times of Tim 's irreverent, understated style won't be for everyone, but those looking for a little darkhearted humor may enjoy its offbeat sensibilities.

Ray Richmond The Hollywood Reporter 06/01/2018
Dildarian's ultra-low-key approach hits the right notes more often than not because it's such a contrast with the insanity of the material itself. The first few installments are more hit than miss. Go to Full Review Joseph Jon Lanthier Slant Magazine 06/01/2018
4.5/5
The gained laughs also suggest an optimistic future for the irresistibly chic sense of give-up-ism to which the show adheres. Go to Full Review Danette Chavez AV Club 06/01/2018
I realized how great it works as a cringe comedy. It's got it all: deceptively simple setups, ulterior motives, and head-shaking denouements. But, at just 12 minutes each, the episodes wrap before they can really set teeth on edge. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Joaquin L. @joaquinlop88 Sep 7 Cruel comedy hit to enjoy a great laugh! See more Kyle C @RT86133566 03/28/2025 The Life and Times of Tim is an unbelievably hilarious gem of a show, with all three seasons delivering absurd, awkward, and darkly comedic gold. Tim constantly stumbles into the most ridiculous situations, each more outrageous than the last, made even funnier by Steve Dildarian’s perfectly deadpan delivery as the hapless protagonist. The dry, offbeat humor and cringe-worthy scenarios make this a must-watch for anyone who loves absurdist comedy. I can’t recommend it highly enough! See more Maliha H @RT92094569 02/25/2025 Such a good show. I wish they made more seasons! See more Howard F @RT45977210 08/12/2023 This show is hilarious. One of the best TV shows ever!! See more Joerg W @Miiiiii 07/15/2023 Most underrated show of all time. See more Craig B @CraigB7708 06/26/2023 Stumbled across this and wow so so funny.
