Difficult People (2015–2017)

Joy to watch!

[8/10 · 31 March 2021]

Difficult People is like Broad City blended with 30 Rock. Some semi-toxic New Yorkers greatly involved in show business. The jokes are great, the side characters are fun, and sentimentality seeps its way in time to time. Let's be clear "Difficult People" punches down. Powerful people are made fun of and jokes are at the expense of others. Yet that's the show's charm.

At one point one of the main characters, Julie, decides on a life pursuing her dream and being miserable over a life of happiness making crafts. I can relate. If you can too, then this is the show for you.

Superstore (2015–2021)

Sitcom w/ Humor and Heart

[10/10 · 30 March 2021]

Having just completed the series, I feel compelled to share with others how much I love this show. Superstore finds a way to face real world problems and make light of it. When everyone is afraid of politically correct culture, Superstore embraces it. The show uses PC culture to their advantage with a diverse cast tackling a myriad of labor politics. Anyone who has ever worked retail or for a large corporation could easily relate to this series- knowing the droning on of everyday life being the same, but wanting more. From the pilot to the series finale, the thesis is clear: There is love to be found in just a "job".
