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!
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'.
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.
This is one of the most amazing shows I've ever seen. Jim carrey delivers his best performance, and one of the greatest performances ever. This show is hilarious, but also exceedingly dark, which only makes it better. 2 great seasons. The ending of this show is a masterpiece. But still, the fact that this show got canceled is a tragedy.
