Really Surprised!

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

In what could have been an insight into the different lives of a culture we rarely get to contemplate we instead get to focus on a collection of ugly characters believably reflecting the current state of the self centered American psyche.
The dialog is witty, the acting is convincing, and the action is believable for the country it comes from, and it's a thoroughly engrossingly unpleasant experience that eventually has you wondering "why am I watching these horrible people?".
It's like a lot of American TV of recent years, deriving entertainment from pain & ugliness, and feeding back into the normalisation of that thinking.
I got tricked into watching this by the interesting premise and revolted by the self centered side characters to the point of having to abandon the exercise. I don't want these people in my life.

What started out as a unique idea and was well written and acted has quickly gone the way of most TV and lost it's way. This last season is simply an annoying repetition of the various characters dysfunctional relationships and in ability to cope. In many ways a lot like my own family which drives me totally nuts. It did better when it was examining the issues and angst of becoming a trans late in life but now has decided to abandon that theme and go on to frustrating portraits of Jewish angst. We cannot follow this show any longer and have abandoned it for more intelligent viewing. This is now nothing more than a copy of all of Woody Allen's earlier movie themes.

This series is continually brilliant. Stories about a family of floating people, trying to find something to hold on to in a world so confusing and random. It's the human condition, captured poignantly by the creator of the series. We see the lives of the Pfeffermans, and we see the lives of the people that came before them, and in this wide frame it's easy to understand the motives, trials and sense of lack that drive the lives of these flawed and beautiful humans, but they cannot see what wee see, so they continue to stumble, fall and rise, stumble, fall and rise. This show has the potential to take one on a journey of self discovery, if one lets it.

I truly do not understand all the bad reviews on here. I am not a good writer and never write reviews but I wanted to tell people this is actually a really good show! It's very different from other shows and it litarly touches on every taboo there is.. The family isn't perfect and everyone is pretty selfish, but I feel that is more because they are looking for themselves and their place in the world. When anyone does need them, they are all there for each other. I recognise this immensely in my family too. Everyone isn't perfect but when you need each other everyone is there for each other. I think it is a amazing raw betrayal of a real family. Please give this show a chance!! I think it is my favourite show at the moment.... !!
