Entitled

I came to this as it felt like there was a lot that should work on paper, some interesting cast and an intriguing premise. Certainly, there's plenty of intrigue in the first episode, but sadly it's all downhill from there. And for a comedy, there are nearly zero laughs to be found.

Gelman's performance is enormous, the direction is so colorful that it's sickly. Perhaps both of those are attempts to bring some comedy to the show, but they are sorely misguided. The tone veers all over the place, operating in such aimless extremes that it will leave you feeling totally lost, and with little of it making any sense at all.

What it makes for is a show that is trying so hard to tell you how good and funny it is, without actually being either. A real disappointment.

This is probably the strangest, weirdest show I've seen in years.

The actors are great, the direction is great, and the editing is great! The story however, is all over the place, and so random that I'm baffled. I'm left wondering if there even was a script at all. Was it all improvisation by the actors?

And it's definitely not a comedy. But what is it? It's not funny, so not a comedy. It's creepy at times, but not scary, so not a horror. It's exiting at short amounts of time, but not thrilling, so not a thriller. What genre is this show??

There are so many things happening, and so many characters. Yet, after the last episode, you sit back and think - what the h*** did I just watch? Who was that girl, why did the villagers do as they did, what happened to that guy, and who was really that child? Too many unanswered questions.

I'm giving it three stars for the acting, editing, and direction. The story completely through me off.

Entitled is one of those shows where the elements are all interesting but it just doesn't coalesce. Something like a box of mystery trinkets that tell an almost story.

It has very good actors, creepy art directions, plays a balance between scary and humorous like a nightmare LSD trip that's part real, part fantasy.

I think it does go on too long though. I skipped through the scenes because there was something fascinating (I would watch all these actors in other projects again). But also a lack of momentum and focus. I hoped it would resolve to something, and it does and it doesn't.

Entitled is a curious art piece that continuously pulls more out of its hat, but also left me wondering what did I just watch.

I was excited through the first couple episodes. It had potential to build a great story but the show never brought it all together. It hints toward alot but leaves too much to infer. The show is labeled a comedy but is more off of a dark comedy than a laugh out loud comedy. The final episode seems to be a throw together to answer all the questions in one without support from the rest of the series. No way the watcher could come to these conclusions. Add more key info to each episode so we that all we can get to finish with you. This show wants for a lot. I am not sure how season 2 is approved.

This show is a great blend of mystery, a little horror, and complete and utter mastery of laugh-out-loud dark comedy. It's unlike anything else I'm aware of, and from a few of the reviews here, some people obviously don't get it (or get black comedy) but it has provided me with some of the best and funniest moments I've seen in awhile.

Bret Gelman is impeccable, and reminds me a bit of Paul Giamatti in the move "Sideways". The series builds well, and peels the onion layer by layer. Most episodes are quite short, which is great because I have to catch my breath and process what I just saw! If you like dark comedy, don't miss this one.
