hookaugust (by the way there's one spoiler, but it doesn't affect the plot at all and I'm not saying who, but yeah I don't wanna be blacklisted on this sight. So anyway, if you read the review someone said "treat this as a dark serious drama" I mean I guess, but to me I like to laugh at my dysfunction and I grew up with a mom who is bipolar and I myself have Borderline Personality Disorder, and I find this show pretty hilarious. It is in a dark humor kinda way though...I didn't laugh at the weird surreal rape scene, but I did cringe, though that one, you're not even sure is happening so it's kinda strange. Watching this show feels like dissociating and being manic at the same time.
waltzedout This show is amazing. It's certainly surreal, but the characters are well developed and every episode stands alone. The show is produced by the producers of Arrested Development and you can definitely see their influence here. Lots of puns, sight gags, and intelligent writing. I loved the story arc of Maria's relationships and if you've ever had anxiety or known someone who did, this show is extremely relatable. It's not for everyone, but those who get it will love it. Also: Dean Cain! Patton Oswalt! Bridget Everett! Fred Melamed! It's not your typical stand-up show. I had only kind of heard of Maria Bamford before watching Lady Dynamite and now I want to see her whenever and wherever she performs. Just watch it already.
wood-gledhow This is brave and inventive television. Netflix has done great work bringing this to the world. Currently the funniest and most verbally dexterous programme around. Very strong ensemble cast. It makes most other comedies look flat footed. There are delights at every turn and not a poor performance or unrealized character anywhere. And then there's the way mental illness is addressed - superb. And the talking dogs? Who doesn't love talking dogs? Especially ones with a sense of humour.The time shifts are well used and although becoming increasingly familiar since Breaking Bad they are used here to enhance the story and fully round out the characters. Let's face it season 1 didn't have enough episodes but there again it can't be easy to maintain this level of narrative and verbal inventiveness. Roll on season 2
kamonkur I see very high ratings here and don't know why. This show is like a drunk wandered haphazardly around in the street dragging an empty cardboard box which people are constantly tripping over as they pass. In other words: it is annoying and makes no sense. Netflix has been producing some really good shows lately, but this is not one of them. I can't find any more ways to say it. This show is terrible. Really, really terrible. But, it looks like I must have ten lines of review, so here is more. The story keeps throwing things against the wall even though they just flatten and sink with a thud to the floor. While shooting this show, they must display signs that read: "Don't be Clever," "Stupidity is really funny" or "Segues only confuse people." I joined IMDb just so I could express how much I dislike this show.
