    Simple and Fun

    John Lurie is a fascinating guy and a considerable talent. The first episode of the his new show sees him bumming around his seaside home in borderline pyjamas; painting, musing, joking, observing. It's not exactly a courtroom thriller but what did you expect? I appreciate some new television that isn't edited at a frenetic pace.

    Moving forward, maybe we'll see some interesting guests, but even if it remains just John, the man is quirky enough to capture my attention for twenty minutes.

    Check it out.

    I liked it

    I wasn't sure what to expect and even when it started I wasn't sure what I was watching. If your looking for a "point" I don't think this is for you. To me, it was about art...the laughter and breath of it. I will watch again. When it was over I was just a little more relaxed. It's for the eyes and ears...to me.

    Bedtime story... that makes you want to paint

    Not sure if this thing has any analogues. I don't know, you have to try the first episode and see if you dig it. There, is a scene where he is literally rolling a tire down a slope "because every day you have to have a bit of fun". Personally enjoyed it, probably because the show is not taking itself seriously at all. Found John fascinating.

    Hopefully we see more stuff like this in the future.

    Thoroughly Entertained

    As a big fan of Fishing With John, I was thrilled to learn of Painting With John. In short, I was throughly entertained by his style, method, stories, and shenanigans. Your mileage may vary.

    Great Show for Fans of Lurie's Work or People New to It

    This is the ultimate pandemic comfort watch. A few years back, musician, actor, producer, and painter John Lurie went into seclusion on an island in the Caribbean. Now that we're all in seclusion due to COVID, John's showed up back in the television world to show us how to make the most of it -- dedicating ourselves to whatever art we can, and doing at least one fun and ridiculous things every day (in John's case, rolling tires down hills, finding a tree branch that looks like an elephant trunk and cosplaying an elephant all day, etc). Mixed between John's ruminations on life and art are his gorgeous watercolor paintings being done in real-time, and the stellar jazz music from his pre-painting days ensemble, The Lounge Lizards (along with a few Marvin Pontiac gems, too). If you're a fan of John's, you'll be delighted -- he presents himself here as the older, funny, grumpy, genius artist uncle you never knew you really wished you'd had -- and if you're new to his work, maybe his dedication to the divine connections that can be made through art will help you through your own seclusion in these weird pandemic days. Either way, watch. It's a delight.
