Kidding - Il fantastico mondo di Mr. Pickles

"Kidding" is fun, wry and dark. It's refreshing to see this side of Jim Carrey. Cole Allen is such a talented boy. Frank Langella's stern humor is amazing.

After decades , he deserves the role of Jeff. As the summary of a career. And as proof of his skills , out of ordinaries categories, from drama to easy comedy. The serie has the virtue of an admirable director, great actors, a dark plot , using the humor as precise tool for describe a world in which to save the appearences is more important than to be yourself. The film reminds the force of Jim Carreys talent. And it does it in splendid manner. Short, a man, under pressure, in show world. And his answers to a profound grief. All using the shadows more than the performances itself, using appearences in a too familiar manner for many lives of public . So, Jim Carrey. And his great partners.

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!

'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'.

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.
