Noutions Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .
Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
bluecouchpotato This is a really weird show. If you, like me, watch the first episode and think "what the heck is this about?," try and stick with it -- I watched most of season 1 before I really liked it. It's not the content that took time to grow on me, it was more allowing my suspension of disbelief to kick in sufficiently that I could enjoy the quirkiness without trying to over think what was happening. If you're looking for something that is pure entertainment, give it a try.
Dylan If I were to watch this show as a comedy, I would have found it incredibly irritating and outrageously offensive. The show isn't funny, and I don't think it's really supposed to be. It's actually quite sad and deep.It's about struggling with bipolar disorder. As someone who struggles with mental illness myself, I find it fascinating. It's like looking through someone else's eyes. I find that the structure of the show how things transition and connect is very reflective of how my own mind works.My recommendation: If you want to better understand what it can be like to live with a mood disorder, watch Lady Dynamite. Don't watch it as a comedy though; watch it as dark, serious drama.
kamonkur I see very high ratings here and don't know why. This show is like a drunk wandered haphazardly around in the street dragging an empty cardboard box which people are constantly tripping over as they pass. In other words: it is annoying and makes no sense. Netflix has been producing some really good shows lately, but this is not one of them. I can't find any more ways to say it. This show is terrible. Really, really terrible. But, it looks like I must have ten lines of review, so here is more. The story keeps throwing things against the wall even though they just flatten and sink with a thud to the floor. While shooting this show, they must display signs that read: "Don't be Clever," "Stupidity is really funny" or "Segues only confuse people." I joined IMDb just so I could express how much I dislike this show.
roberthms Very fresh. Fantastic writing, wonderful characters, hilarious supporting cast and very well acted. We need more shows like this that are actually funny and not just following the same old formula. I found myself laughing out loud which is not easy to accomplish. It's so nice to be surprised and not able to guess everything that's coming in each scene as is the norm in most productions these days. As a male and human being and trying to understand what Maria Bamford has dealt with, my instinct is to just protect her and then hug her. It's hard to imagine anybody keeping it all together in Hollywood when everybody around you is certifiable.Death Takes a Holiday 1934 'It's not me who's mad, but the world'
