For some reason my Netflix was burying this show. I always see new stuff right up front but I had to dig a little for it. Didn't realize it was out until yesterday.
Really enjoyed the first episode, don't think I've ever seen anything like it.

I say it every time in that voice. Although some episodes are different.
I feel like a lot of people are going to be immediately turned off because it's so strange but I really feel it's a lot more digestible and relatable as you watch more episodes.
I haven't seen the whole series yet but I really want Maria to play her depressed generic comedian character. That's my favorite!
I freaking love her in this. The second episode where she says,
"I rep Camden, the baby. He's a real piece of shit."
Also from the second episode, the Switch Hitters logo was great.

This show is a cornucopia of colorful profanity. So descriptive and clever. I love it.

Finished it.
Going to require a rewatch but I adored Fred Melamed in this show. It was zany and pretty serious at times but it had a lot of heart.
One of the best new shows of 2016.

This sheep herding thing...!
Yeah. I had to search for it, it wasn't on my starting page at all. Netflix was too busy trying to promote whatever shit Adam Sandler has coming up and a half dozen other things I don't care about.

This show is amazing. This thread should be 20 pages by now.
Maybe I should ask a mod to change the thread title to reflect that it is at 85% on Metacritic and 95% on RT. Since Gaf loves two.

I'm only four episodes in and I love it. I love Maria Bamford and I'm really impressed that they captured the essence of her standup so well. I'm also amazed at how pointedly they critique and parody the Target commercials she starred in. The entire show is really ballsy and not like anything you'd ever see on a network TV.

Fred as Bruce was responsible for every laugh out loud moment I had while watching this. Absolutely hilarious in the show.
I actually really like this a lot, I'm looking forward to seeing more, but I didn't find it to be all that funny, yet at the same time I don't really hold that against it because I thought it was very clever and creative than what it was doing anyways. Kind of weird to have such mixed feelings about a comedy show hat didn't always make me laugh, but still wanting more of it.
Don't really know how to describe it, but it kind of goes along with why I find Maria Bamford's humor funny.

I wish I could have that smooth jazz bumper in Episode 4 as my ringtone.
I kept waiting for it to be revealed as subversive or self-deprecating, but I didn't really find that.

Also Karen Grisham

We find out in the season finale that Karen Grisham was three different people, did Maria make her up in her head or were they all Karen Grisham or what?

listen to the mad man
I got through the entire show without realizing that Karen Grisham, the agent, was Ana Gasteyer, not Kathryn Hahn. Hahaha.

I can not keep them straight. I actually knew that was Ana Gasteyer because I listened to Comedy Bang Bang with Maria Bamford, but they are basically the same person to me.
Thank god it's not just me. (Though it wasn't the entire season, just a few episodes, but still...)

Yup. Love June Diane Raphael so much!

there is joy in sucking dick
She's obscenely attractive in this to me, simply due to the whole intense alpha female persona. That kiss.

I was really hoping this would be a female Black Dynamite. Like Foxy Brown.
I'd kill for more Black Dynamite in my life.

I just finished the season. This show is amazing. It's the perfect crystallization of Maria's brand of humor. Smart, discursive, utterly bonkers, and hilariously vulgar. I love how she incorporated so many details and quirks from her life, standup, and overall career. The incredible voices, the Target commercial references, her parents and friends, her passion for pugs, and even her semi-biographical struggles with mental illness. If there's a better comedy series this year, I'll be shocked.

The finale is bonkers. Even more so than the rest of the show. I'm obsesses with June Diane Raphael in this show. She nailed it. Also Ana Gastayer!!
