There have been dark comedies in the past but this is one of the most engaging. As you get deeper into the episodes the viewer is forced to examine their feelings about the characters they have grown to love and identify with. You pull for them to escape the punishment that they all deserve but should you? This series toys with your emotions, and you know what? I am finding that very enjoyable . As you are laughing out loud, your inner dialogue is asking, "should I be laughing at this?" Then you realize that you are laughing out loud, and that's rare these days.

Series 5 is bizarre and Series 4 weak, but I still gave it 9 stars as Series 1-3 are brilliant and overall, it was one of the most addictive and entertaining shows I have seen in a while.

Great characters that are somehow horrifying and likeable in equal measure, plot twist after plot twist and very good acting. Really original!

IMDB insists I add more characters so I will also comment on Alia Shawkat. Her acting in particular stands out. The range of emotions she can portray is brilliant. A failure in Series 5 is the sudden changes to the main characters' personalities. However, Alia manages to pull it off and is pretty convincing as the tortured guru.

The show is decent, but took a nosedive season 4. First 3 seasons were a good mix of comedy and drama, but S4 is all about Dory and Chip's crazy asses and I just wanted it to be over.

I started watching this show because I thought it would be an easy background show to put on. At first I wasn't sure about the characters but stuck with it out of plot curiosity. But as each season passed it became more and more absurd and I completely fell into it. It is unpredictable, very dark yet light, smart yet ridiculously stupid, and made me laugh til I cried. I have never seen anything quite like it. If you have a quirkier mind and sense of humour, I think you'll eat this up.

I could not get enough of season one through four. The characters are absolutely hilarious. Elliot's character may be one of the best characters ever created. The last season is cringe worthy, hard to watch and leaves you totally annoyed and disappointed. Just like the last season of GOT, the last season needs a rewrite.
