Difficult People

I am totally obsessed with this show. I feel like it was made for me. I love talking about random celebrities! But I can't really watch it with other people without having to answer the question "Who's that?" or "What does that mean?" every 30 seconds. Billy Eichner was my absolute favorite actor on Parks and Recreation (he played Craig) and I am totally in love with his street comedy show. Thank god Difficult People exists. The fact that it's successful makes me feel like maybe the rest of the world is starting to be as mean and weird as me! And I love that it's about people in their 30s and not their 20s. I can't stand shows about super successful people right out of college where everyone has their dream job and dream life and everything is perfect. This show is real life, for people who are as cynical as me. I love it.

Two aspiring entertainers in their 30s and brimming with bitterness, slam everyone and everything in this almost ridiculously diverse comedy show that veers strongly into dark territory. Season 1 is a riot, with all it's pop culture references and situations gone awry, but the cracks are showing by Season 2.

This show just doesn't have enough juice to sustain itself and the writers aren't helping all that much. It's like they pitched this via a few YouTube videos and maybe that's the format this comedy is best suited to. By Season 3 it's two people hating everything, with a few tired anti-Trump/Christian jokes that sit awkwardly amongst very familiar Jewish stereotypes and the odd mushy scene to add some artificial "heart" to the proceedings. There's also no common storyline running through the episodes, so it's like a Jewish skit show by the end.

I like dark comedy, but maybe they should have done what the Brits do - knock out two short seasons and call it a day and hope for cult status.

Great new comedy!

It's been a while since I watched something labeled as comedy and actually laughed because of it. I have survived through many comedy series where the laughter in the background is making me feel guilty that I am not laughing when it is clearly a "Hey! This part is funny!You should laugh as well!" sign. Watching this was refreshing.

Mean comedy is not really that new and it is not really nice when you encounter it in real life if it is enforced by negativeness. But even with that, I really did laugh and enjoyed the first three episodes.

It might be a just a bit harder for some with all of the celebrity references, but even without that knowledge, they will make you laugh.

I hope that people will be able to look at this for what it is: a comedy series. And in comedy, nothing is offensive.

Difficult people is about two really awful people who go around being awful and catty and mean.

This can work, as it does in You're the Worst. But Difficult People is far less ambition. It basically feels like a couple of comedians who thought it would be funny to make a show where they just do insult comedy every week.

The first episode was *mildly* amusing. I laughed once or twice, even though I found the characters unlikable and the premise thin. The second episode had all the flaws of the first but was even less funny. So that's the last episode I'll be watching.

I never heard of this show till It showed up on my streaming service so I thought I'd give it a try and what a surprise. I loved loved loved this show it deserves way more credit then it got. It reminds me of Seinfeld , broad city all out into one. I loved how the characters are awful but it's real awful. I wish more people would talk about this show it deserves more credit. One of the best comedies ever.
