Kidding

Just finished binging both seasons of kidding and I am humbled, moved, touched and grateful that this world has such warm hearts populating the community of comedians and dramatic artists.

Even more grateful for Mr.Rogers, the obvious premise of the series, the creative and enthusiastic minds that contributed to inserting macabre, real, honest life-events that define the realities the rest of us live.

Why haven't I heard of this before? I was especially moved by the performance of Judy Greer. What an amazingly restrained, mature, precise character she created who literally breaks your heart-in a good way-in the final episode. The series razzles and dazzles with amazing performances, art, sets; then nails each episode with a universal truth. You will not be disappointed with this cradle-to-grave life-lesson manifesto!

A charming adult version of Mr Rogers mixed with any of Michael Condry's films and the incredibly talented Jim Carrey; he's so beloved to me! I absolutely love all the generosity involved throughout, it's so sweet. Kidding would be cool on drugs I'm excited for season 2!

I really cant tell if this show is good. Not yet at least, but it really got my attention. Very heavy show trying to touch some very heavy topics. Jim is really good and im afraid that he is trying to reveal some of his true emotions in this show. I can surely say one thing. You should give it a shot. I promise you that you wont get bored.

'Kidding' approaches the subject of grief and loss that is commonly masked by comedy. From Executive Producer Michel Gondry (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind) and Creator Dave Holstein (Weeds) you can get a sense of the handling of this show. Bit of dark/quirky comedy that is quite poignant and inevitably gets you in the 'feels'.

While I admit after the first episode, I knew I liked it, but thought I could go either way depending on the next. I am now fully invested in this tremendous show. Jim Carrey doing TV again was the catalyst, obviously, but it has soared past any expectations I might've had. It is equally quirky, and shocking, and hilarious, and above all, supremely well-written. Never talks down or insults your intelligence. Why Frank Langella didn't become a superstar is beyond me. He is an absolutely stunning actor. I am glued to the screen when I watch "Kidding" every bit as much as I was to "Breaking Bad", but for obviously different reasons.
