"You're the Worst" is a modern look at love and happiness told through the eyes of two people who haven't been very successful with either. It's the story of Gretchen and Jimmy, fear, heartbreak, romance, sex, food, Los Angeles, Sunday Funday, friendship, and the fact that sometimes the worst people make the best partners. Narcissistic, brash, and stubborn Jimmy Shive-Overly has inadvertently found himself paired up with cynical, people-pleasing, and self-destructive Gretchen Cutler. "You're the Worst" is an original comedy from writer and executive producer Stephen Falk, and puts a dark twist on the romantic comedy genre.

You're the Worst treads the fine line between alienating the viewer with characters too abrasive and being funny. Fortunately, it tends toward the latter. Go to Full Review Randy Dankievitch TV Over Mind 03/04/2020

Luisa M @RT89245752 08/02/2025 Irreverent comedy, with a sense of black humor, gives a look at mental illness, which few series give it in a respectful way without constant mockery. The characters have a wonderful growth during the 5 seasons, but the last one marks a lot how much you can grow with friends that don't abandon you and of course a good therapy.

See more 12/01/2019 HULU is really presenting some excellent shows, and YOU'RE THE WORST is one of the best. I haven't seen any of the previous work of the actors in the show, but they are all excellent in YOU'RE THE WORST. Excellent ensemble cast, writing is witty, sharp, and funny, and the pacing is really brisk, which is great! (I appreciate the intertextuality!) See more 06/19/2019 THIS IS THE WORST SHOW EVER!
