Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Jenna Walter The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

mikestarr_89 This show could have been something great. I did watch all 4 seasons but continued to grow more and more annoyed by the main character. He continually becomes more unlikeable and is just an awful human being. he treats all his friends like utter trash and not to mention all the guys he dates, he somehow believes in his own twisted head that he is better then all of them, its very clear he isn't and its almost hard to understand what the boyfriends see in him... He also gives gays a bad name, with the whole open-relationship, 3some thing, hooking up and just being a complete sl*t as well as his use of the word "f****t" this really disappoints me that gays as a culture have come so far only to have someone who identifies as gay using that word also.... grow up Josh Thomas... The rest of the cast are amazing and thats what kept me coming back.... This show could have been so much better if the main character was played by someone different and made to be a little more human.

wkeb01 Watching this on Netflix, I had to force myself to go to bed. The best bit about this series is that, although you might never want to be BFF with Josh - talk about high maintenance! - you can't help but want to know what happens to him next, either by his own devising or by the machinations of the people around him.And, let's be honest, without the supporting cast, particularly Allan and Tom, this would just be a story about the type of young man, were he to come and sit beside you on the bus, would make you want to move to another seat.If you don't want to watch this, you might as well go back to cutting yourself for entertainment.

B24 So many successful sitcoms depend on likable buffoons as major characters that one's first impression of "Josh" is that he is just another self-deprecating target for stale jokes about his shortcomings. In this case, the eponymous actor/creator moves well beyond the predictable into a realm of hyper-originality rarely seen in a TV series. Nothing here is predictable. Each scene, each comedic line, each nuance bordering on serious personality issues comes across as going against the grain of laugh track one-liners.I viewed the first two seasons in quick sequence to determine some thread justifying the title "Please Like Me." There is so much more than that at work here I came to the conclusion that "Josh" intends his imperative to apply to the entire narrative rather than just himself. None of the main characters is one-dimensional. Each one stands alone in all sorts of revealing personal aspects. Attraction of one to another is quickly reversed or brought down to earth before sentimental attachments rear up to spoil the moment. Of course "Josh" is unerringly annoying. Surrounded by bipolar types and deliberately handsome but flawed lovers he has little choice. This is a fascinating series, which I hope to be able to follow as it progresses.

kelly-venner I had no expectations of this show whatsoever and pretty much watched it randomly.. I was pleasantly surprised. I've scored it an 8 based on the 2nd and 3rd season of the show, though I would rate the first season lower, probably a 6, as it takes a while to understand, and like the characters. Josh, the main character is a recently out gay guy living with his best friend and various others over time. Each one of the main characters is quite complex, yet surprisingly relatable. While on the surface the show is very whimsical and comical, they have tackled some really difficult issues, such as depression and suicide in an incredible manner - the later episodes are particularly moving. I think the jokes only gain in strength as it goes along too, while at first I found it a little stilted, many of the episodes have made me laugh out loud. There are sex scenes, nothing too intimate shown but obviously if you're not cool with gay romance - this is not for you.Overall, would recommend - could see myself watching this again.
