Only one episode in ....
........ and I am hooked. It's relatable. I think for so many people, it will be. Maybe not all of it. But pieces of it.
Jeff Hiller. So good. Love the casting so far in general.
And that scene at the end has broken my heart. But in a good way.

Exactly my kind of show.
I love this show! The actors are absolutely amazing, especially Bridget Everett and Jeff Hiller. Their portrayals are so real, funny and down to earth. Great show, I would recommend anyone to watch...although I'm sure not everyone will connect with it or appreciate its understated charm.
Fun. Real. Puts a a smile on my face
Just a real show about people who don't have their life together. I always end up with a smile on my face and laughing out loud. It's an enjoyable 30min show.
"We're F@&$ed, but we're OK"
Seriously, this show is so terrific I feel like I'm getting away with something just watching it. Even better, every episode so has been better than the last.
Creators/directors the Duplass Bros. And stars Bridget Everett and Jeff Hiller, (as Sam and Joel), are knocking it out of the park, but I would also gladly follow Sam's awesome dad around, or the one-in-a-zillion Fred Rococco.
It's feel-good, but real, with some achy heart and grit and Kansas grain thrown in. If you are alive, you will cackle.
