Big Time in Hollywood, FL

I've been an avid IMDb user/fan for over 14 years now (just checked my profile) and have never felt inclined to post a user review. That said, I just watched Big Time In Hollywood, FL, excitedly came to IMDb to see if others shared my exuberance over this incredibly fresh, well-executed, semi-farcical gem and noticed there were no comments as of yet. So I figured hey, why not have my first user review be the one to start the praise that is sure to pour in.

This show is terrific. I would say "brilliant" (and it does border on it), but as a huge fan of comedy farce and absurdism (everything from Strangers With Candy to Children's Hospital), I won't go so far as to say I've never seen anything like it- but that doesn't mean "Big Time" doesn't come through on almost every level... big time.

If you appreciate the brilliant mind of Ben Stiller (the way only he could deliver ridiculous characters like White Goodman in Dodgeball, Zoolander, and even his character's acting style in Tropic Thunder), you will most definitely enjoy the style of Big Time in Hollywood.

New shows can be incredibly disappointing these days, so it's all the more satisfying when one is actually right on point.

Great stuff!

A great screwball comedy for the 21st Century that grabs hold of the quest for instant fame and success with two delusional adults with easy access to recording devices and the "pickle" they can find themselves in.

The plot lines and characters are way too involved to discuss in a review. But the actors have captured each character perfectly and anyone who has been watching this series can only lust for the next episode.

I can only thank the creators: Alex Anfanger, Dan Schimpf and each actor for bringing something to TV that is fun, funny, and suspenseful.

This show is completely underrated, just like Arrested Development and IASIP when it first aired. Episode three is one of the funniest things I've seen in a long time. It's unbelievable that Comedy Central canceled this but stupid shows like Broad City last for several seasons.

"What is a dark comedy?" That was my initial thought when I stumbled upon this show. I figured it would be some morbid situations and indeed this show abounds in shock and awe. But it does it in a way that is intelligently written and acted and it's not all dark. No the actual main plot is very innocent in a way. It's two brothers that just want to continue living at home making their little cliché action movies with some pretty low end technology. But everything goes sideways and crazy stuff happens in their pursuit of a rather mediocre goal.

Should you watch this? If you like shows with a continuous story that builds each week like Arrested Development and Last Man on Earth then definitely. Just know it has some dark moments and you won't be prepared for them which is part of the fun of the show. If you need a laugh track or an audience that is queued to laugh at the "right moments" in order to find something funny then avoid this. But honestly I think most people will like this.

In rating shows I'm not trying to go for an all or nothing. Something being bad or perfect. I think a more grade system works best. 5 or below is failing, 6 or 7 is a pass and overall good. 8's and 9's are fantastic... with 10's being less common.

I think this is one of the most amusing and hilarious series i've ever watched. I discovered it making a promo of it and got totally charmed. It's a shame it has no second season... or more and more season. it is amazing and it's very strange it only has one season... there are so many horrible series... this should deserve 10000 seasons! i love it. i do love it. it deserve 100 stars and i cross fingers someone realize it is a shame leave it abandoned...
