Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined

Merolliv I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Staci Frederick Blistering performances.

Tango and Cash Let me start this review off by saying that I - hem hem - own the original four seasons of Mr. Show on DVD. Buy them on amazon - they're only like $25 bucks but they're worth a million.I've been waiting for this for years because I love/adore the original Mr. Show - it's priceless. Perfect stoner humor. Fire one up, pop the DVD in, and laugh til it hurts. I would say that the new run of episodes could possibly be even better than the originals. They've sharpened things up a bit, the timing is perfect (some of the original shows skits could run a bit long), and every single skit is hilarious. What I also really enjoy is that the 5th episode is a behind the scenes thing, and it adds another layer of brilliance and hilarity to this totally amazing, hilarious, near-perfect show.Why isn't this more popular? It's the funniest show I've ever seen. It makes SNL look pedestrian. Oh yeah and I'm going to see David Cross at the Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, NY in April! Suck on that! Peace!

cal-38007 I'm a huge fan of comedy.I devour it all!I was really excited to find another sketch comedy show on netflix after watchingsnl, key and peele,Catherine tate show,Chapelle show, amy schumer,and other great sketches over the years.This is just not funny. It tries too hard, has underwhelming premises, and for the most part, is boring. I might give it another chance later.Gave the first two episodes a shot but couldn't bring myself to watch anymore.

tomdallan I love Saul Goodman and I love Tobias Funke. I'm not really that familiar with the rest of the work of Bob Odenkirk and David Cross but they pop up from time to time in good stuff like Curb Your Enthusiasm and the occasional excellent but generally ignored Indy film, and one of them is in a band, apparently, and I generally like them. But, for me it's mainly about the best character in Arrested Development and my favourite character in Breaking Bad who was so good was made the subject of the equally brilliant spin off show Better Call Saul.So I was intrigued to see this new offering from these two fine actors who are currently at the top of their game. Oh how deeply disappointing. David Cross seems to be a genuinely funny guy but the rest of the cast is woeful and, try as he might, not even he can carry that much dead wood and the script is like a badly worked high school improv workshop. Odenkirk is not a naturally funny man it seems, his timing and delivery is way off and he just looks pitifully out of his depth. He's clearly an accomplished comedy writer (if you like that sort of thing) and not a natural sketch comedy performer. The rest of the supporting cast have good pedigree but they look like they are just there to support their newly famous friends egos in this ill advised vanity project.Maybe it's an American thing, after all Saturday Night Live has been doing this shtick for decades and is still huge despite it being about as funny as a family bereavement.IMDb's user rating is currently 8.4 but I'll wager my favourite trousers that this ridiculously high score will plummet to under 7 by Christmas, which would still be overly generous. It is a waste and a shame because it could, nay, should have been much MUCH better considering the talent on show.

dogga94-634-323122 This may be funny to Americans. But to worldwide audiences I think this is going to be terrible. It has that horribly cheesy typical over the top American everything about it. I just cant stand it. But It may just be bad altogether. The opening sketch was just... bad. Like you open a series with that... come on. Then the poker table sketch. Typical poorly done over the top humour. Oh wow a straight man arguing with four over the top characters, that hasn't been done before. The acting is still poor. Even from bob odenkirk which I really didn't expect. David Cross most likely ruined everything here as he always does. It just wreaks of his wrongdoings. But he is a polarising figure so if you like that stuff maybe its for you but to most its just garbage. So many better shows out there.
