twocatsandwine This doesn't seem to understand the line between funny and mean. I get that the main characters want to be viewed as toxic but that doesn't result in being funny. Instead it just creates bad energy and stereotypes about gay men, single Jewish women and New Yorkers. Someone else who was more gracious than me said that this show has a narrow demographic, like gay male couch potatoes. I couldn't agree more. So if this is your thing, enjoy.
b-rick690 I went into this show knowing literally nothing about it. The show follows two friends Billy and Julia trying to break into show business. They dislike pretty much everyone except each other and are completely narcissistic and shallow.Both of the main characters are constantly talking trash about celebrities whom they are obviously envious of. I really enjoy how self absorbed the main characters are as I feel like it's pretty much a job requirement for a comedian or actor.Although a lot of the jokes targeting various celebrities are funny, a lot of the humor comes from the characters dropping a joke to the wrong audience. One example is the controversial Blue Ivy joke. Billy and Julia attend a dinner party hosted by some rather square friends. Julia tells a story about posting a tweet that said She can't wait for Blue ivy to be old enough for R Kelly too pee on." Everyone at the party is offended and rather than back peddling, she continues to explain the joke further. I did find that joke to be pretty funny, but I feel like the people getting offended are failing to recognize that the joke was intended to show how socially daft the main characters are as opposed to just being offensive for the sake of being offensive. There are also a ton of great guest stars including a "Sober Magician" Named Abra Cadouglas played by Kate Mckinnon who only does magic tricks that tie into her sobriety. This show is MA and takes full advantage of being able to say what it wants. Although it is edgy and no at times dark you really do emotionally connect to the characters. I foresee a long run from thus show. I am very impressed with "Difficult People" so far and look forward to seeing a long run it may not have been able to have on traditional television.
Belwoeth Harbright The low ratings thus far on this show made me create an account just to log on and tell you what you're missing out on.Difficult People is difficult. Yes, the main characters can be abhorrent. Yes, especially in the pilot. No, they're not the best people. They're pretty annoying, actually. But.The show is a deconstruction and homage to every show about comedians and comedies based in New York. It's very obvious halfway through the first episode (in a library fountain water drinking water joke) that the two are completely clueless, and every episode ends with them (very cruelly, in some of the later episodes) getting their just desserts.I almost didn't continue watching after the pilot. I mean, it was funny, in a gleefully malicious revenge porn way. But as I continued I realized that this is the Will and Grace of the new century. It's original, and the vein of humor that runs through the show is true irony in a Dahl-esque fashion. This is a show where we have vapid, vain characters searching for self-acceptance in the arms of others and they're failing miserably. Everywhere they turn and look they are denied access to minor successes and it' solely a result of their behavior. It's a critical look at the entire idea of comedy... and that Amy Poehler had the courage to try a non-formulaic comedy that didn't rely on a laugh track says a lot about her.Give it a shot, stick with it to the second episode. The characters grow on you. Even as they're punished they grow, and it's a treat to watch.
Aktham Tashtush so the the pilot started in a "keep away" "don't laugh" sign on it ... the jokes didn't really work properly .. not really funny and the scenario grows without even knowing what's going on not until the end of the episode when you know that the whole idea is about a struggling "supposedly" comedians who try so hard to make it but they are being so Difficult , but the comedy is missing like it is just about "difficult people" living life !!Honestly and i'm really not trying to be hurtful or something but i don't know Julie Klausner like did she really write something noticeable or was she in a memorable TV show !! i mean yeah i'v seen Billy Eichner in Parks and recreations last season and no he wasn't funny but again in here something doesn't feel right ... like you know already that the show is not even watchable .. Overall,, for me this is the end and i strongly don't think the show will survive ... and the fact that the only good show by Hulu is still "Deadbeat" still stand and it was a good move picking up "The Mindy Project" because they'll need it to patch up the holes made by shows like this one :P I had the second episode two on TV but i didn't even bother to go on with this nonsense.
