Big Time in Hollywood, FL

It an 8 because that's what is deserves as an overall. Me 7 and a half. I can't believe I just now found this. As usual I had run out f things so I had to search forever since it's happened so much lately. Anyhow it was different than I thought judging from the trailer but so good! Everyone was great in "their" role. Dell, Cuba, parents, the detectives etc. I don't know why but about half way thru I was thinking it kind of reminded me of Lodge 49 and what do you know that comes up as more like this tho most the time those aren't very accurate. I can't believe they didn't make more seasons. The episodes are only 25 minutes but filed with non stop interesting material there was so much more they could have done with this. It could have easily been a 4-5 season show. Maybe I'll write a follow up and see what happens. Lol. I didn't crack up at this tho it's very funny( well I did a few scenes) but the whole thing is just really good. Funny, weird, quirky , thrilling. It would probably have gotten more seasons if more people knew about it.

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.

Please watch! The best show I have ever seen in a long time.

It's a screwball comedy done very well and the acting is super and the cameos...! Oh Boy! I write this after the second episode and I have to say, that this episode was even better, than the pilot.

Finally I can laugh out loud watching a show and cringe myself in joy by watching at those idiots.

The protagonists are complete a-holes, but they are amazingly funny (in opposite to Last Man on Earth) Watch it!

The story is an ongoing story, so you need to see all episodes to understand what's going on and I hope this will make it into a ten season long movie.

If the writers can keep up this high quality standard, I am sure, that my next decade will be funny as hell.

I think this is one of the most amusing and hilarious series i've ever watched. I discovered it making a promo of it and got totally charmed. It's a shame it has no second season... or more and more season. it is amazing and it's very strange it only has one season... there are so many horrible series... this should deserve 10000 seasons! i love it. i do love it. it deserve 100 stars and i cross fingers someone realize it is a shame leave it abandoned...
