Mr. Corman

In the first few episodes I kept waiting for this series to be funny. It doesn't go there. It goes deeper. It's compelling as you try and unravel the big picture. It can be hard to watch sometimes. The anxiety is deeply upsetting. Strange and dark, I think there's something going on and I'm going to stick with it.

I like this show a lot. It's comedic, sarcastic, dry, a bit self loathing and well, realistic. I found it to be more on the comedic side than the dramatic side but other reviewers seem to feel differently. If you have anxiety you will relate to Joseph Gordon-Levitt's character. If you don't have anxiety, you know someone who does so this will give you some insight. It's the perfect show to watch when you don't want to watch mindless humor but also don't want to watch a serious dramatic show. Best part? You get a sprinkle of song and dance from Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Second best part? Episodes are only 30 minutes as opposed to all the shows at the moment that produce feature film length episodes.

Relatable and depressing. But erroneously categorized as a comedy. Absolutely nothing in this is funny.

I knew I loved this show 10 minutes in when Mr. Corman spoke exactly like me. Everything he said on the couch with his friend is exactly what I say/think and my friends agree lol. It's great to see something so relatable that's not just like nostalgia comedy. I went in expecting to hate it because most things that touch in depression are preachy and pretentious (this is too), but it does a good job.

During episode 4 I had to stop watching. It's too much. The struggle. Couldn't do it. Though it's good, it's well made but I couldn't watch it anymore. Too much stress and anxiety.
