Hi, amazing show with amazing unforgettable moments! Now, sorry for not writing a general review, but I am focusing of an especific scene here, at around min 14 in the episode #3 (Rehabilitation). Not only the song is really beautiful, but how the director makes everything come together with it in the background is simply perfect! These are just around 4 minutes which should go on record as one of the best moments in TV history. Watch the scene like 10 times laughing MAO...By the way, does somebody know the name of the opera song which starts in min 16:30 in the mentioned episode #3 Rehabilitation? I just can get it out of my head.

I know there must be some people out there who would not like this show, but I'm glad they aren't counted among my friends, because Big Time in Hollywood, FL is without a doubt the funniest show to come along in 2015. It is a slacker comedy of the first degree. The plot is so complex that at times I wonder how its target audience can follow it. And that, my friends, is a good thing. There are gangsters, drug lords, washed up actors looking for two kinds of big scores (Cuba Gooding Jr as himself in a scene stealing role), cocaine by the kilo ton, and so on.All overseen by two movie making brothers who aren't really addicted to anything but find life in rehab really nice.Well, as you might imagine; the drugs, thugs, stars, cars, and a chimp all end up making the brothers' movie. And things don't really go as planned.The ratings weren't good, so I doubt if it'll get another shot, so while you can still find it do yourself a favor and check out this great show. You won't be disappointed.

This show is meta, whatever the f*ck that means. But for real, this show is a big, fun middle finger metaphor to Hollywood TV script conventions. Lot of sh*t gets bleeped out, like a lot. But that's what adds to the charm of the show. The actors go to hard-boiled acting levels, something you see on the big screen, not the small screen, let alone a comedy. Nothing is held back. It's genius. ******SPOILER****** Do you need to be a genius to enjoy this show? No, but a decent IMDb IQ- knowing your Shawshank and what roles some actors are known for- is required. Cuba gives his "show me the money" all to drugs, Jason Alexander picks up where he left off in Pretty Woman, some play against type while others epitomize their roles. The casting is pitch perfect.And boy oh boy this show is dressed up like a seriously beautiful movie production but with garishly funny details added to it. ENJOY!SIDE NOTE: Watch @midnight starring the Dolfe family. Makes you wonder how much is improv because Lenny Jacobson and Stephen Tobolowsky are golden.

This show has helped revive my confidence in the success and future of Comedy Central seeing as its going though big transitions now and for the next few years with the loss of Colbert, the coming loss of Stewart, the end of Kroll Show, though it was inevitable, just in the same way that Key and Peele and Workaholics will be gone in a few years as well.Hollywood, Florida is in its first season and I really believe its bringing some fresh air with its consistent story line as opposed to a random scenario each weak like Workaholics or Always Sunny(I admit Sunny has stayed hilarious for 10 seasons). I feel like I'm having the same eagerness for next weeks episode like many people were for Empire, and thats a good thing for a network! But whats really reassuring is the confidence Ben Stiller has taken with his aging attitude which has translated into less shits to give. This has definitely made for some hilarious situations as well as some pretty good film making including the back and forth comparisons between scenes for hilarious dark comedy effect in the 5th episode which I just got done watching.Ultimately the show has everything you could want, a fat scapegoat who wears short shorts, untimely deaths of characters who you start to get attached to, and gratuitous use of unspecified drugs, if you're watching Comedy Central chances are your tastes are already pretty poor so this will be great!
