Big Time in Hollywood, FL

Hi, amazing show with amazing unforgettable moments! Now, sorry for not writing a general review, but I am focusing of an especific scene here, at around min 14 in the episode #3 (Rehabilitation). Not only the song is really beautiful, but how the director makes everything come together with it in the background is simply perfect! These are just around 4 minutes which should go on record as one of the best moments in TV history. Watch the scene like 10 times laughing MAO...

By the way, does somebody know the name of the opera song which starts in min 16:30 in the mentioned episode #3 Rehabilitation? I just can get it out of my head.

I've been an avid IMDb user/fan for over 14 years now (just checked my profile) and have never felt inclined to post a user review. That said, I just watched Big Time In Hollywood, FL, excitedly came to IMDb to see if others shared my exuberance over this incredibly fresh, well-executed, semi-farcical gem and noticed there were no comments as of yet. So I figured hey, why not have my first user review be the one to start the praise that is sure to pour in.

This show is terrific. I would say "brilliant" (and it does border on it), but as a huge fan of comedy farce and absurdism (everything from Strangers With Candy to Children's Hospital), I won't go so far as to say I've never seen anything like it- but that doesn't mean "Big Time" doesn't come through on almost every level... big time.

If you appreciate the brilliant mind of Ben Stiller (the way only he could deliver ridiculous characters like White Goodman in Dodgeball, Zoolander, and even his character's acting style in Tropic Thunder), you will most definitely enjoy the style of Big Time in Hollywood.

New shows can be incredibly disappointing these days, so it's all the more satisfying when one is actually right on point.

Great stuff!

"What is a dark comedy?" That was my initial thought when I stumbled upon this show. I figured it would be some morbid situations and indeed this show abounds in shock and awe. But it does it in a way that is intelligently written and acted and it's not all dark. No the actual main plot is very innocent in a way. It's two brothers that just want to continue living at home making their little cliché action movies with some pretty low end technology. But everything goes sideways and crazy stuff happens in their pursuit of a rather mediocre goal.

Should you watch this? If you like shows with a continuous story that builds each week like Arrested Development and Last Man on Earth then definitely. Just know it has some dark moments and you won't be prepared for them which is part of the fun of the show. If you need a laugh track or an audience that is queued to laugh at the "right moments" in order to find something funny then avoid this. But honestly I think most people will like this.

In rating shows I'm not trying to go for an all or nothing. Something being bad or perfect. I think a more grade system works best. 5 or below is failing, 6 or 7 is a pass and overall good. 8's and 9's are fantastic... with 10's being less common.

It's unfortunate how unknown this brilliant show is. Not only is it funny (unlike garbage like Big Bang Theory) it's also impeccably written. You could take out the jokes and it would be a successful drama. When it comes to smart writing this is top tier. I give out very few 10's but this show deserves every star.

This show is completely underrated, just like Arrested Development and IASIP when it first aired. Episode three is one of the funniest things I've seen in a long time. It's unbelievable that Comedy Central canceled this but stupid shows like Broad City last for several seasons.
