Reviews

K J The ironic humor in this show is hysterical. I love Seinfeld, but this is even better, exceeded only by Curb Your Enthusiasm, with at least as many out loud laughs as Peter Dragon's Action series.Lisa Kudrow does an amazing job as both writer and actor, with a large cast, each doing great work. Robert Michael Morris is especially funny at doing nothing.I stumbled across season 1 googling Lisa Kudrow as a big fan of Web Therapy's online episodes at lstudio. Psyched to find on IMDb that there's a season 2 with just two episodes left to watch on season 1. One show like this makes it worth paying for HBO Now.

maxime-chesneau This show is perfection !! I'm actually kind of...furious cause it seems like people are only realizing it now that they're finally releasing a second season ( 9 years later !!! ).When it first aired, there was neither Kardashian Family showing off their uselessness or Tori Spelling divorcing on cam and YET Lisa Kudrown and Michael Patrick King saw that coming !! It's like a trip in the mind of some desperate actress we see on magazine covers week after week only to talk about her diet or boyfriend of dog.November couldn't come faster !! Can't wait any longer.

henmcc In the tradition of "Waiting For Guffman," "Best in Show," "A Mighty Wind," and then on TV, "The Office" (both British and now American) and "Curb Your Enthusiasm," this is truly one of the great "mockumentaries"--I can watch the episodes again and again and still laugh (or cringe!). Lisa Kudrow is so believable and therefore so heartbreaking as Valerie Cherish that she must truly be a genius, a rare talent. Though the viewer is invited to laugh at Valerie's shallowness and shameless narcissism, Lisa Kudrow is able to portray Valerie in such a way that her vulnerabilities and humanity lead the viewer ultimately to cheer for her success. The supporting cast, too, are so believable that when I look at cast pictures I have a hard time thinking of them as actresses and actors.

Rubens Junior I'm sure that The Comeback is one of the best shows of the last 5 years or more. For a long and long time I haven't seen a so refined comedy series as this one. Lisa Kudrow is perfect as Valerie Cherish giving a so real caricature for the role making you fell ashamed for her attitudes. I think it's the first and unique show that could mix the reality show universe with real life situations without being REAL. Her expressions, her situations, her messes... everything is perfect! It's a shame that the series has been canceled because it was one of the most intelligent and different things that happened in years on television.
