Jerk

Whatever you decide it's brilliant comedy. It nails the point home that we are all the same even if someone has a physical disadvantage. Yep, even the severely physically disabled can be utter b***ards.

Representation is good, having a character with a disability not being angelic is great, but having the lead be insufferable misses the mark. Breaking boundaries by having jokes about disability and making a certain audience uncomfortable is progression from everything being too filtered, and a great foundation for the series. However, none of the three main characters are likeable, and the surrounding support are all caricatures without actually being funny. There are a few moments throughout where you might let out a amused/bemused exhale, but by and large there aren't really any laughs. Acting is fine, script all fine and actually comes across as natural, but never compelling, memorable, or particularly enjoyable.

First off i love this show. Im sure it wont run another season; in the day of the thin skin generation. Jerk is cutting edge, breaking the bounderies of TV trying to keep us in a box; trying to tell us how to think and act.

The show hits some other social norms. Jerk shows how disabled people and their families can use comedy to "make the best" of the gifts we were born with.

The show was not uncomfortable like one review said. Politically correct ? No!

What is funny or entertainig that is PC? Nothing!

I love this show! Only found out season 2 is now available to stream. As someone who dated a person with cerebral palsey, I can say that people see the condition, not the person. Tim isn't nice because he has a disability, he's also not nasty because of it, he's a normal average, everyday person who, just happens to be a jerk. It's making fun of people's perception of disabilities, not the person with the disability. The first part with the toilet is the funniest thing I've seen. Watch it before making any judgments.

I think other reviewers have missed the point here. Tim actually does have cerebral palsy. He is not mocking it - he is living with it. Check out his youtube standup if you don't believe me. This is seriously good and thought provoking.
