Trakt Reviews

This might be a perfect comedy. I have no notes!

[Max] The best comedy of the year. Apart from the obvious chemistry between Jean Smart and Hannah Einbinder, it builds a story that intelligently walks through risky areas. A representation of the dichotomy between the comfort zone and the bravery posed by the confrontation between the characters. Deborah and Eve have complex personalities that grow through their difficult relationship, while we enjoy the conflicts. S3 shows that it continues to be an intelligent comedy, incisive in its look at the artistic world and reflective in the personal relationship of two radically different women.

The first two episodes were phenomenal. This is an absolute gem so far and I can't wait to see where it goes.

Season 1 & 2 were ok IIRC, Season 3 I’m not sure whether the writers have run out of steam or whether I’ve just lost interest. It’s definitely outstayed its welcome by Season 3. Vance is just a miserable, selfish, conceited cow who deserves everything she gets IMO. The endless self pity just drags now, as do the outpourings of inner feelings. Vance is also the primary character who’s supposed to be funny and she just isn’t, even at the points where she’s supposed to be REALLY funny, the humour is just cringeworthy. Ava is just dull and boring and NEVER stops moaning, I can honestly understand why the girlfriend binned her. She’s clearly supposed to be the emotional and mental opposite to Vance, the anchor who’s going to make Vance a better person but jeez, Vance needs to pick a better role model. I struggled to get to the end of this season. I won’t be back if there’s a fourth.
