bluecouchpotato This is a really weird show. If you, like me, watch the first episode and think "what the heck is this about?," try and stick with it -- I watched most of season 1 before I really liked it. It's not the content that took time to grow on me, it was more allowing my suspension of disbelief to kick in sufficiently that I could enjoy the quirkiness without trying to over think what was happening. If you're looking for something that is pure entertainment, give it a try.

hookaugust (by the way there's one spoiler, but it doesn't affect the plot at all and I'm not saying who, but yeah I don't wanna be blacklisted on this sight. So anyway, if you read the review someone said "treat this as a dark serious drama" I mean I guess, but to me I like to laugh at my dysfunction and I grew up with a mom who is bipolar and I myself have Borderline Personality Disorder, and I find this show pretty hilarious. It is in a dark humor kinda way though...I didn't laugh at the weird surreal rape scene, but I did cringe, though that one, you're not even sure is happening so it's kinda strange. Watching this show feels like dissociating and being manic at the same time.

Sylas Brantley It was almost impossible to pay attention to what was on the screen. This is not due to having some form of inhumanly low attention span, but due to the fact that the plot was too "random" to follow. Some scenes people were replaced with goats, for some reason....It was never explained, and I don't really think there was a reason for it. It was randomness for randomness sake, which is an unfortunate trend for television. This is why children's cartoons like Uncle Grandpa are hated, and yet some "genius" green-lit this sense of humor for a live action show that was probably intended for adults..I think?The voices were too hyper and grating on the ears, and honestly gave me an actual migraine. If you ever choose to watch this show, keep the volume as low as possible.

Joseph Godfrey I wanted to see this show after with a lot of approval from some high profile comedians, and all this has done is ruin their credibility.You can sum up this entire show with the word "wacky". This is like a live-action kid's cartoon riddled with zany plots. So, if you get a laugh out of bright colors or your Dad shaking keys in your face - you'll love this show.Mind you, there is something here that is salvageable. Maria Bamford is great (I love watching her just go), but it's like everyone around her is an exaggeration of a terrible human being. Nobody likes those Los Angeles assholes, let alone a magnified behavior of them. For every single person with a dialogue stemmed in f words ... remove them; One is fine, but a majority is lazy writing. One might believe it was sloppy improvisation.There was a nice set of cameos; the modern day half-child of Tom Bosely, Patton Oswalt as a bike cop. Ana Gasteyer makes an appearance as a cackling talent agent. Ed Begley Jr is in there as confused as every character he plays is. But the biggest surprise was the show pointing out everything that's wrong with it, in the script ...Oswalt tells Maria this stand-up gimmick has been done before and John Mulaney adds his disapproval of the autobiographical trope. Yet this Mitch Hurwitz and Pam Brady vehicle doesn't slow day or back away from this device for an instant. The show insists on being compared to Seinfeld, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Louis & Arrested Development - Yet as we do, it's bluntly apparent Lady Dynamite isn't anywhere near that caliber of entertainment.It's a failure.
