Karry Best movie of this year hands down!
Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
mannrw61-522-702063 This show is definitely worth watching, plain and simple, especially if you share the sort of dry, sarcastic, deadpan sense of humor that Tig is known for. The characters are interesting and well written. Remy may be the least interesting, but I enjoy Tig, Kate, and the stepfather Bill, especially the way they handled his second season story arc. The series premiere is always tough for me to watch as I recently lost my grandmother in the exact same way Tig lost her mom so it hits home hard. I enjoyed the dynamic between Tig and Kate. I have seen other reviews who think it's lame, but they must have missed the part about how this show is semi-autobiographical, and this dynamic reflects that. They also missed the point completely. The point was not about Kate becoming a lesbian, but rather the emotional complexity that relationships are, and how they can challenge preconceived notions of who we are. As Tig says: Skin is just skin.Maybe don't watch it if you're a Trump supporter, as some Trump supporters have commented here saying exactly that. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, as are the creators of this show. They do not support Trump, why should they pretend to for the sake of your entertainment? Or gloss over real issues that are present in America today? No, this show is tackling those problems. The issue of racism is mildly tackled, as is the issue of sexual harassment by males in the workplace. Would not be surprised if a certain episode is hinting at the misconduct of a certain (hopefully) former show runner. But if you'd like to pretend everything is all hunky dory in the world today, I'd suggest you go watch Last Man Standing.
swilliky When I heard that Tig Notaro's series was coming back for a second season, I put it at the top of the list for me to catch up and watch. I burned through the first season laughing out loud at every episode and the quirky behavior f Tig's family. In the first season, Tig returns to Mississippi from Los Angeles to attend her mother's funeral. The second season sees Tig returning permanently to live with her stepfather Bill (John Rothman) whose strange habits grate on her nerves but also amuse her. Her brother Remy (Noah Harpster) still lives upstairs and struggles with his dating life. Tig also has a new romantic interest, her coworker Kate (Stephanie Allynne). Kate is not sure of her sexuality and reluctant to date Tig.Even Bill, who lives such a strict lifestyle, has met someone he can bond with when he has a medical emergency on the elevator and Felicia (Sheryl Lee Ralph), a woman who works in the same building, escorts him to the hospital. Remy finds his best opportunity to meet someone is at church and first, he attends a Vietnamese church where a nurse he met at his Civil War reenactment attends. However, when another performer says something racist, Remy doesn't stand up for her, and this is a major infraction in the time of Trump. Remy attends another church where he meets Desiree (Carly Jibson) a loud single mother with some interesting opinions. Remey and Desiree hit it off and she moves in almost immediately.Check out more of this review and others at swilliky.com
Charles Herold (cherold) I had some hope for this dramedy after the first episode. While it's pretty dark material, it is handled with intelligence and occasional humor, and there was something about the tone that reminded me of Transparent.There's also John Rothman's fascinating character.And yet, after the second episode I decided to stop watching. It's all a little too sincere, a bit too focused on the drama at the expense of the comedy, but with a "comedy" quality to it that makes it not quite a drama.This seems like the sort of show some people would love, but I didn't connect with - or particularly like - the characters, and that made me lose interest.
rastunas Cancer isn't funny. Being a comedian with cancer doesn't make you funny. Being a female comedian with cancer doesn't make you funny. Being a female lesbian comedian with cancer doesn't make you funny. Cancer isn't funny. Should I remind you that cancer isn't funny?By the way, don't capitalize on your illness, it's gross, should I mention that cancer isn't funny? Humour IS a great way to deal with pain and suffering, but cancer isn't funny.If you can't be funny, don't try to be funny using a crutch (especially cancer). Don't use your predilections and your Illness as a basis for a TV show, it's cheap, disingenuous and it makes you worth far less as performer with an opinion or a point.Oh and in case you forgot somewhere along the way, cancer isn't funny.
