Flatbush Misdemeanors V.F.

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.

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.

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.

The show is good and has some great characters, Kareem being one of the stand outs! But Dan just really grates on me, he can't act and it seems like he's trying to be funny but it never lands. He should stay behind the camera from series 2>

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.
