just found this one looks good
This is great. It’s another one of the many comedy series Chuck Lorre has made except this time he gets to write big boy scripts for the audience on HBO.
Wife and I have liked this so far. We had some good laughs. And a few good cringe’s. lol.
This i a great bingeworthy comedy. If you haven’t seen this show yet, it is pretty good!
This is easily a classic it’s written in such humorous way that this show is a 8.3 for me.
Sebastian Maniscalco sucks. Makes me feel anxious.
The cast and script had me hooked in 60 seconds!
Ok new it’d be a little cheesy and more a ‘sitcom in the wild’ than a gritty drama going in. Got about 10 mins in on the first episode to the point where we see his first face 2 face interaction with one of his lendee’s. Of course it’s a guy who’s now a woman living their ‘real self’, who promptly cold-cocks the bookie from behind (Pun not intended) and chases him off.
Yeah….just nope. Yet another show that sadly prioritising their ‘virtue signalling’ check list over story and plot. Basically 90% of the straight white male characters you’ll see are only there as comic relief side kick, to play a villain/corrupt official/sleazy guy, or be the spineless ‘yes man to everyone else’.
Writers are too busy trying to ‘make up’ for shows and films of yester year but are just going way to over the top as it’s in reverse creating as many fixed stereotype roles for anyone who does fit the current moral social campaign as they’re trying to show are now broken. Over-correcting/fixing/medicating is just as bad as under.
It’s a comedy about a bookie in Los Angeles. You were expecting a bunch of shining examples of humanity?
