"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.

Should Season 3 continue to explore what family means to Jimmy, Gretchen, the still-adrift Edgar, and the expectant Lindsay, it has the potential to live up to the groundbreaking second season. Go to Full Review Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com 12/28/2015
It is a masterful comedy about how our actions often say what we cannot. Go to Full Review Brian Lowry Variety 10/15/2015
The central joke has a repetitive quality, and if series creator Stephen Falk brings a singular voice to the proceedings, it's partially dulled by the fact that every character essentially speaks with it. Go to Full Review Randy Dankievitch TV Over Mind 03/09/2020
And with "The Heart Is A Dumb Dumb" (and the extraordinary second season as a whole), You're the Worst offers up the most heartfelt depiction of love and all its complexities I've ever watched. Go to Full Review Tampa Bay Times 08/31/2018
A crude show about a couple in a relationship, or whatever. Calm down. Some of the best shows on TV right now are the ones that walk the line between humor and pain. You laugh as you feel all the other feels. Go to Full Review Joshua Rivera GQ 08/06/2018
Gretchen's depression is one of the boldest, most successful risks taken by a television show this year, one that's been met with much praise for the way it handles a sobering character arc while remaining one of the sharpest comedies around. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Faiz D @RT95588871 May 14 Season 2 is on a whole new level. Beautiful, beautiful writing. Hilarious & heartbreaking. Aya Cash deserves all the Emmys. See more Michael L @thatMichael5 11/28/2023 Rarely can a TV show approach true, absolute greatness... this did. See more 10/21/2018 Improves on its first season with tighter and funny writing. See more 09/08/2016 I had gotten to a point where I was hating Gretchen, but Aya nailed it. I hated it because no one likes to be reminded of what depression does to people, but it was so well done I could not stop watching. Then, it all came together wonderfully and it was well worth the watch. See more 08/24/2016 An even better second season for You're the Worst, that kicks up the writing and episode-count, but it's also surprisingly more tender. Dealing with clinical depression, the latter half of the season goes into dark territory rarely seen in any American rom-com (or even any American drama for that matter), with Aya Cash giving an excellent performance. The laughs still remain bawdy and big though, and there's nary a false-note in the cast or a joke that doesn't work. Possibly television's most sorely under-wached show, and here's hoping the third season will find ways to get even deeper. See more 01/29/2016 Delightful romcom. Way better than Catastrophe.
