jessblanchard16 I cannot believe there are people who think this show isn't top-notch. I am a huge fan of comedians like George Carlin, Bill Hicks, Louis CK, Amy Poehler, and Tina Fey. I'm a huge fan of shows like The Office, Parks and Rec, 30 Rock, Seinfeld, You're The Worst. I love a bit of dark humour that feels authentic... I love hearing the things we all think but know are too inappropriate to say. And I love seeing it done well.Difficult People is amazing at making you laugh when you shouldn't and feeling great about it. Give it a shot.

Charles Herold (cherold) Difficult people is about two really awful people who go around being awful and catty and mean. This can work, as it does in You're the Worst. But Difficult People is far less ambition. It basically feels like a couple of comedians who thought it would be funny to make a show where they just do insult comedy every week. The first episode was *mildly* amusing. I laughed once or twice, even though I found the characters unlikable and the premise thin. The second episode had all the flaws of the first but was even less funny. So that's the last episode I'll be watching.

readingsbydanish The writing. The timing. The really raw sometimes deliciously offensive humor. This show, especially Season 2 is like nothing else. All the really good stuff is in the details, the small comments, the insider humor, like a great comedy for people who have been there-done that can appreciate. Wicked smart, original, and addicting. Yes, some episodes are better than others, but I defy you to match " Italian Pinata" to anything ever written in its comedic format/genre . Insanely BRILLIANT, this show. Not for the faint of heart, or the banal mind. The characters are all out there, the backdrop of the City is just perfect. Even the two Basset Hounds, with those bored little looks on their faces, add to the whole tone of this show. Billy Eichner is at his absolute BEST here and Julie, is obvi, the next big THING in comedy writing. Like a smarter Tina Fey with a dirtier mind. LOVE LOVE LOVE .

b-rick690 I went into this show knowing literally nothing about it. The show follows two friends Billy and Julia trying to break into show business. They dislike pretty much everyone except each other and are completely narcissistic and shallow.Both of the main characters are constantly talking trash about celebrities whom they are obviously envious of. I really enjoy how self absorbed the main characters are as I feel like it's pretty much a job requirement for a comedian or actor.Although a lot of the jokes targeting various celebrities are funny, a lot of the humor comes from the characters dropping a joke to the wrong audience. One example is the controversial Blue Ivy joke. Billy and Julia attend a dinner party hosted by some rather square friends. Julia tells a story about posting a tweet that said She can't wait for Blue ivy to be old enough for R Kelly too pee on." Everyone at the party is offended and rather than back peddling, she continues to explain the joke further. I did find that joke to be pretty funny, but I feel like the people getting offended are failing to recognize that the joke was intended to show how socially daft the main characters are as opposed to just being offensive for the sake of being offensive. There are also a ton of great guest stars including a "Sober Magician" Named Abra Cadouglas played by Kate Mckinnon who only does magic tricks that tie into her sobriety. This show is MA and takes full advantage of being able to say what it wants. Although it is edgy and no at times dark you really do emotionally connect to the characters. I foresee a long run from thus show. I am very impressed with "Difficult People" so far and look forward to seeing a long run it may not have been able to have on traditional television.
