Simply A Masterpiece
Kien Navarro
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Surpririsingly this is a pretty good show. But my review will mainly focus on the negatives. The acting is decent, and the directing the visuals are decent. But at some point the main character becomes too flawed to relate to or emphasize with. And he's not exactly a character that you can hate to watch and have fun. I like that the show tries to have a realistic and meaningful side, but the main character feels more of an old friend who never learns so even the least assertive person gets too annoyed to spend his time on him. It's not like a crash about to happen that you can't take your eyes off, or like fun gossip about a small but harmless mistake. I was pleasantly surprised that I liked Arnett's acting but day after day his character makes poor choices that just seem inconsistent with some of his other behavior, not in a way that makes him a multidimensional character but in a way that makes it feel like they write these poor choices just for the sake of them. I believe this makes the show too annoying to want to follow. Furthermore, the storyline becomes too cloudy and tangled. I believe there is an unwillingness to add new characters as well. Too many coincidences, too many betrayals, too small a circle. I don't necessarily think the show needs more characters. I just wish that things were not as messed up. I believe there was potential to have an entertaining storyline without having so many very very big mess ups. It just does not pair well with the realistic dramedy vibe of it. I'm glad it's not just a comedy/ exaggerated show. This format suits an AA story quite well. Yet somehow, it is difficult to watch at times *spoiler*like cheating on girlfriends, betraying the town, betraying and lying to best friend so many times.

Seems like its fashionable in the US to make shows about people who have no direction or purpose in life, no ties or even a proper job and this is supposed to be funny or touching or what? Its about a bunch of flaky guys who float around doing nothing of any meaning. If that does it for you then, by all means, watch this utter nonsense..... Will Arnett is trying desperately hard but this show lacks any substance whatsoever. If there are people in the world (or the US) like this then clearly they are to be avoided. Making a series about such losers is a waste of time and insults the intelligence of people looking for intelligent, proper comedy.

Chip makes me want to break my computer--one too many guys in my youth were Chip. Best depiction of AA ever. And somehow they capture the Venice of my memory, in a crazy hilarious way. Everything is quirky, witty, fun. Not perfect but fascinating show. Sorry only 6 episodes this time.

Will Arnett stars in this beautiful comedy/drama Netflix Original. The whole show is about change: Chip (Arnett) refuses to change anything about his life. He rides a bike, does not have a cellphone, sells the same stool since 2008. When his friends, entourage and town try to move on from the way things are, he will do whatever is in his power to prevent that. Also, the past is literally chasing Chip. Great writing, great acting and directed in such a comfortable manner that really illustrates how the characters perceive their life in this city that is stuck on hold. The soundtrack is amazing and fits perfectly with the tone and the colours of the show. I strongly feel that it is the most underrated show on Netflix.
