Buscarse la vida en Brooklyn

Flatbush Misdemeanors is up there with Curb Your Enthusiasm in its wry wit and hilarious plot punchlines. If you've ever lamented the life of an underdog, you will resonate with this gritty sitcom. Not recommended for those that don't speak the language of veiled cynicism, ambivalence and irony. Take any poor reviews with a grain of salt, and give this show a chance.

This show I felt was very underatted an didn't get the push by showtime it should off because the people who did watch it most of time had positive things to say about it. Characters were relatable an it was just a dry humor conversational type comedy that hit on certian aspects of life also like addiction an getting through life as best you can an it had a very good supporting cast to make it funny an it didn't seem to drag it flowed very well. A shame it got cancelled even tho I admit it the second season wasn't as strong at the first but still it was very solid an definitely deserved a better run.

Writing this as season 2 ep1 just came out. Really like this show. Similar to High Maintenance in that it blends what could be NYC real life people and situations. Only difference is HM will go towards the surrealistic at times. The humor in Flatbush comes from the absurdities of real life that when happening in the moment to people wouldn't necessarily seem funny, but looking on as viewers, are very comical. Then there's the characters.... Kareem (Dan's stepfather) and Dr Flowers (Dan's online therapist) are absolutely hilarious characters.

This show is funny!. I grow up around the Flatbush area so the show resonates with me so much. The writing is clever and doesn't force lines for laughs. It's not meant to be taken seriously as the *1 star* reviewers are doing. It reminds me of shows like Broad City, Rami, and Dave. Just enjoy a day in the life of two 30-somethings living in the real Brooklyn.

The story revolves around two twenty something childhood friends, recently reunited and now roommates. . One is a struggling artist; the other a struggling teacher. Both are very low key, timid, and likable types, trying to make their way in a crazy and dangerous inner city environment, with some funny characters. We are introduced to a great supporting cast.. including some oddballs that bring on the laughs. The writing is very good... subtle humor. It seems, though, that half the opening episode was edited out, as it contained many loose ends that probably wound up on the cutting room floor.

Solid start, though, to what promises to develop into a hit series.
