Flatbush Misdemeanors

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>

I like this show. The interesting characters and authenticity. Many won't "get it" and others won't give it enough of a chance, which is apparent from many of the 1 star reviews. But this show is cool.

I saw several reviews say it was stupid and not funny, those people don't know funny cause this is HILARIOUS.

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.

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.
