    You have to be a certain person to really like this

    I loved this mini series, but can also recognize the hate surrounding it. This shows not for everyone, maybe even most people due to its over the top nature and Daves over acting. BUT if you're someone who likes depressing humor, and maybe even depressed yourself or have suffered from depression(I'm only saying this because I believe its the reason I personally like the show) then I do think you can find enjoyment from this series. I'd give the first few episodes a chance, and if it's not for you it's not for you!

    If You Love Dave Franco, You Will Love This

    Dave Franco and the hole cast did an amazing performance. The series was written really well. I normally dont laught at nowadays series becuase their humor is so flat and childish. But this show, man, it cranked me up a bunch of times. The Cast is good, the writting is good, even the ending is brilliant. A Big topic is handled on and its done right! With humor and a serious note.

    One of my favourite series. I really can recommend you this one.

    Should have been renewed

    I liked Quibi a lot and they had some really great content and I was excited that Roku bought their content but with that being said, I'm pissed that they haven't renewed any of it. Of all the stuff I watched, this was easily the best and had so much potential for another season with Dummy being a close second. I love the dark comedy and it's well written as well as acted. Sad they canceled.

    This whole bs of so many characters is getting old really fast since the best reviews are usually short and sweet; we don't need wannabe critics and/or wannabe jacket writers writing a synopsis of the content or going on forever and a day to meet the required characters.

    Thank You, Now Change

    I came upon this show while I was at my lowest. Didn't know what to expect at first, but having to watch this show and all of its meanings. It made me feel like I wasn't alone. That life is unpredictable and that if I focus on what happened in the past, I won't be able to focus on The Now. I want to say thank you for making me feel this when my back was against the wall. It also opened my eyes to how much people over think thoughts we ourselves create. Whether it's PTSD or anxiety, it's okay to look and ask for help. So I wanna say Thank You for seeing me in you.

    P. S. Please have a season 2. Ed still has to find himself.

    It was ok.

    It started out really good.. it was funny but also seemed like it would lead up to a deeper meaning at the end.

    For me personally I thought the further I got into it the more it just wasn't funny. I found myself really laughing for about 4 episodes and then it seemed to just get a little dry. It was like they was trying their hardest to paint a deep and serious picture and forget it was a comedy.

    It also annoyed me that the episodes are 10 minutes long. There are 14 episodes so they could have done 7 episodes that are 20 minutes long.

    I also didn't like how it ended. It was rushed.. there was so some side stories they started but never finished. Like what happened with him ex girlfriend? Or what happened to the people working for him?

    The only reason I continued to watch it until the end was because it was a quick and easy watch.
