Pluskylang Great Film overall

Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.

reverendlinneken The acting is phenomenal and so is the writing. This series takes a look at what we consider normal, and it also looks at what hurts and heals. It is funny, dramatic, and honest. This is the best show I've seen in a long time. Also one of the most honest in regard to what it means to be a part of the capitalist machine. So damn good.

jcjs333 I'll probably watch the 2 seasons but i'll force myself to do so. One scene tells the whole story. Laura Dern's boss says 'i thought you were fired'. Laura says 'no because they found out i'm right'. But, truth is, the company didn't fire her because they feared her self centered, gimme gimme, oh poor me, attitude was going to cause the corporation money. The company showed its petty nature in that they are afraid of her. Another reviewer had it right on saying this is about a shallow, narcissistic, self centered girl'. I know the show means well and is humorous and entertaining for a couple episodes but, quickly, the character becomes to irritating and stupid she couldn't be real. She's a composite of do-gooder misguided to the hilt living in 'spiritual make believe' trying to fix and preach her ways to everyone else making them jump to her tunes. A control freak extraordinaire who doesn't help herself or empathize with anyone. In the background 'narrations' Laura pays lip service to 'enlightenment'. Perhaps, she's on an eventual enlightened state but the whole show is this woman who thinks she's better than anyone else and can't take a hint that she's dumber than anyone else around her and , maybe , one of many reasons she's divorced, messed up, and living with her mother. And has no friends. Sometimes, i think the show wants me to feel sorry for Laura. I wish they'd stick her in a straight jacket. Not really. The company ought fire her. No good company would put up with such an immature little gal walking around in a perpetual break down bothering everyone with small stuff. She's immature to the max. If she had any real beliefs into action she'd get a real job. At the show's start she goes to work at a homeless shelter. She can have the job and claims "I CAN NOT LIVE ON $25,000 PER YEAR". She's unwilling to sacrifice'. She's late for work and disobeys all the time and doesn't get fired. The boss of the homeless shelter let go of his corporate job to work for others but Laura will not help others unless she's making lots of money and taxing and hurting others. She's a living virus expecting all others to kiss her rear end and she appears not to have any clue she's so ugly, self loathing sitting on a fur lined pity pot. Self pity is ugly and Laura Dern plays a misguided, naive, ugly girl. And, in the background she narrates this 'phony spiritual make believe enlightened hogwash'. I love the acting though and her boss is one of the 'good guys'. The show doesn't hold up. So much more could be done with this. The show is right on the edge of being awesome but remains bogged down in this bog irritating the heck out of me losing it's humor. You know what's next. Hi, I'm Laura Dern's character and i'm here to tell you how dumb i think you and everyone else is. And, i'm hear to make you listen to how hard i have it. I am suffering , oh poor me , oh poor you , please let me destroy your life like i'm destroying mine. And, i will do this to you even if i have to seduce you to do so. Here, look at me. See how sick and messed up i am. Let me use you to mess us both up. Perhaps, the show it meant to show us most people are this way or were supposed to think they are. But, hardly anyone is this shallow. We all have some of this but , wow , nothing like Laura.

Man Bok I use IMDb on a regular basis just for reading reviews, although I always felt compelled to write my own reviews, it was not enough as most other people already have said, what i would have said.For this specific title, I had to write something.First of all, the show has been canceled this year and I'm glad. Season 2 final leaves a great ending point and I highly doubt a 3rd or 4th season could have topped it. Sometimes it is better to leave a little bit open for speculation, but not too open, so that people get satisfaction of a well rounded ending. It is perfect.Why did I title this review "mirror"? Well, this series exposes and shows the truth about human nature and social interaction. About life. While watching it, sometimes I found it almost unbearable (like a car crash that you can't watch, but can't look away), because it was too true, showing the ugly reality. I'm fairly sure, many, many people can relate to some degree, or 100% degree to the characters in this show. All the traits and natures of us humans are shown from hypocrisy to forgiveness, love, hate, hopes, dreams, imagination and clash with real world, disappointment, resentment, regret, success, happiness and so on. Right, so you think you might have seen it all before? Not quite.It's not only the exposure of human nature, but we are constantly kept on our heels through this series, as happiness doesn't mean happy. Success doesn't mean successful. It plays with your mind and shows the viewer his/her own imperfections. How we judge and assume, how we guess and conclude. It works so well from episode one. It could be something you disregard, but if you stick around, the well written script and the extra ordinary acting by all individuals involved will grab you.

Murli I wanted to see this series solely for Laura Dern. The first episode seemed okay. A woman has a meltdown at work after finding out that the boss she was having an affair with was transferring her out of her department. So she goes away to a retreat, fixes herself, and comes back to find that her old job has been filled, and she's got a new job...in the basement of the company working with computers.I thought that the story would develop as I got deeper into the series but that's where I was wrong. The series deals with Amy and her issues and we're left wondering if her Hawaiian retreat actually helped her or not. Each episode, with the exception of the second last one, deal's with one of Amy's hangups and I was starting to get frustrated with it.Laura Dern does a good job as a wacky person who just can't see past herself. She's her own worst enemy, choosing to ignore what's right in front of her face, deal with her predicament and move on and do something about it. I was getting fed up of seeing her continually go back to her old floor and try to confide in Krista, one of two characters (besides Janice) whom I found two faced and really despised.Thankfully, the last episode sort of made up for most of the series and I'm interested in seeing where Amy goes with her new found power. As long as the series gets another shot. Aside from Laura Dern, the whole cast that makes up the Cogentiva floor is well cast and funny, with each person contributing to the weirdness that makes up the DNA of a basement floor worker. Timm Sharp as the politically incorrect, nerdish, loutish, priggish head is very funny. Mike White also deserves a mention because he says a lot more with his quiet demeanour and smile than with any dialogue (but I had to laugh at his hack in password!).All in all, I'd recommend it but bear in mind that Amy is highly annoying and frustrating most of the times but there are lucid moments when she gets the picture and you think there is hope for her after all.
