Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

Charles Herold (cherold) 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.

thisisjoslyn 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.

schmandel Another show that I wanted to like that managed to persuade me to think otherwise in only a few episodes. The characters were mildly amusing at first, but are neither particularly likable or not likable; they are mostly tedious and affected. Their one-dimensional personalities evidently contain no surprises after only a few shows.The scripts so far haven't offered any novel premises or even particularly good jokes. What they all share in common seems to be pointlessness. An episode is a unit dose of tepid comedy smooth and featureless from end to end, definitely not a short story.I don't see this one being renewed but I do hope to see the cast move on to better things.

Carl Currie www.moviemakeouts.com To enjoy Hulus new original program Difficult People is to appreciate a formula that is one part Seinfelds self-absorbed/self-sabotaging characters and one part Will and Graces' warmly weathering friendship, as written for a post-cable sitcom audience familiar with R-rated material. Difficult People is, after three episodes, already demonstrating clever writing that both leads comfortably embrace. Both Billy Eichner and Jule Klausner play caricatures of themselves, or perhaps more accurately, play up to their public personas. As they are written to be clearly self-aware and not just aloft buffoons, this can make the two all the more difficult to sympathize with. This will be quite jarring to fans of Executive Producer Amy Poehlers series Parks and Rec, where Billy Eichner arguably received his largest exposure. The majority of fans investigating this series will do so on Poehlers reputation and not Eichner, despite humor that is clearly in sync with his work hosting Fuses gameshow 'Billy on the Street'.The audience will, most likely, find it easier to sympathize with the supporting cast. These characters, be it the episode specific offended-mother-of-two in the pilot or the recurring; Such as the brilliantly comedic James Ubaniak and surprisingly nuanced Andrea Martin give breadth for the audience to connect with. It is the combination of the leads shrewd temperament and the series decidedly profane material that audiences will find most inaccessible. It is profane, and the characters are decidedly abusive. And while each fail, the leads have been rewarded for this behavior. Difficult People has already demonstrated that while they will embrace Seinfeds cynicism, they will not be beholden to the No-Hugging-No-Learning rule. It can overshadow the strong pacing of the writing and excellent camera work. Episodes are best appreciated on multiple viewings, and like Netflix 'Bojack Horseman' you must look past the initial "shock" jokes to reveal a layer to the writing where themes are given the entire episode to flourish. *****SPOILERS BELOW*****The weakest aspect to the series writing may yet to have revealed itself, but it may well be continuity. Will we find out Billys fate in regards to his hit-and-run accident? Will Marilyn's hypnosis training be a one episode gag? Three episodes in, the viewers are left with no impression a season story arc is present and that we are looking down the barrel of a joke- of-the-week series. Liked or not, these characters are already to well realized to suffer this dole sitcom fate.
