Difficult People

Difficult people is about two really awful people who go around being awful and catty and mean.

This can work, as it does in You're the Worst. But Difficult People is far less ambition. It basically feels like a couple of comedians who thought it would be funny to make a show where they just do insult comedy every week.

The first episode was *mildly* amusing. I laughed once or twice, even though I found the characters unlikable and the premise thin. The second episode had all the flaws of the first but was even less funny. So that's the last episode I'll be watching.

First, let me say, I'm a New Yorker.

These people in this show are nothing but terrible caricatures. They're not funny, not interesting, they are just incredibly irritating.

I tried to watch this, but, after 10 interminable minutes, I had to stop.

To see that there are people who not only liked this, but, gave it very high ratings only shows how low the bar for quality has gotten, and how low people's IQ's have become, as well.

Being bitchy, sarcastic, ironic, takes more than just spewing out 'shocking' words (the parents are there, because they're not shocking words to me, nor anyone with a brain).

This is just pitiful, and think that this is also where Orange Is The New Black originates, makes this unfunny garbage all the more unsettling.

It's one thing to offer diverse shows, but, it's like any semblance of intelligence went out the window with this.

Yes, it's great to give a chance to (relatively) new talent, but, if this is the 'good' stuff, I'd really like to see what it was compared to. The writers, and stars of this travesty have absolutely zero charisma. It's great when someone say bitchy, vicious things, - like verbal acid, but, this is like a clichéd view of what 'gay' people must be like to those who grew up in the middle of nowhere.

I was just appalled - and that's not an easy thing to do, unless it's just poor quality (as far as I'm concerned, make jokes about anything, but, make them FUNNY).

For those who liked this, please; DON'T - EVER come to NYC (I mean it), and if you think this is 'biting satire' ('Belwoeth'), and 'sharp...well-written' (??!!??), (Schmandel), I'd be very curious to see what else you think is good, because, this is so below 'rejected', it's abysmal.

You couldn't pay me enough to EVER watch this, again, nor anything else these people are in, or in any way connected with.

Two aspiring entertainers in their 30s and brimming with bitterness, slam everyone and everything in this almost ridiculously diverse comedy show that veers strongly into dark territory. Season 1 is a riot, with all it's pop culture references and situations gone awry, but the cracks are showing by Season 2.

This show just doesn't have enough juice to sustain itself and the writers aren't helping all that much. It's like they pitched this via a few YouTube videos and maybe that's the format this comedy is best suited to. By Season 3 it's two people hating everything, with a few tired anti-Trump/Christian jokes that sit awkwardly amongst very familiar Jewish stereotypes and the odd mushy scene to add some artificial "heart" to the proceedings. There's also no common storyline running through the episodes, so it's like a Jewish skit show by the end.

I like dark comedy, but maybe they should have done what the Brits do - knock out two short seasons and call it a day and hope for cult status.

It's a little inaccessible. The jokes would be funny, if I actually knew what the heck they were talking about. I don't live under a rock either, I follow pop culture. The casting is terrible. Is her dumb boyfriends supposed to be a straight man who is interested in this fat, uncharismatic, self-absorbed girl? He is an unnecessary character; somehow, he doesn't hang out with Billy and Julie, but he is in no way a foil to Billy. He's like a redundant piece of furniture. I think pretty much everything about this show (with the exception of Julie's costume design) is terrible. They somehow manage to make her appear smaller. But honestly, she's not cute, and she's barely funny, and this entire show is pretty indulgent. If you're not cute, be funny at least.

I never heard of this show till It showed up on my streaming service so I thought I'd give it a try and what a surprise. I loved loved loved this show it deserves way more credit then it got. It reminds me of Seinfeld , broad city all out into one. I loved how the characters are awful but it's real awful. I wish more people would talk about this show it deserves more credit. One of the best comedies ever.
