It's unfortunate how unknown this brilliant show is. Not only is it funny (unlike garbage like Big Bang Theory) it's also impeccably written. You could take out the jokes and it would be a successful drama. When it comes to smart writing this is top tier. I give out very few 10's but this show deserves every star.

I know there must be some people out there who would not like this show, but I'm glad they aren't counted among my friends, because Big Time in Hollywood, FL is without a doubt the funniest show to come along in 2015. It is a slacker comedy of the first degree. The plot is so complex that at times I wonder how its target audience can follow it. And that, my friends, is a good thing. There are gangsters, drug lords, washed up actors looking for two kinds of big scores (Cuba Gooding Jr as himself in a scene stealing role), cocaine by the kilo ton, and so on.All overseen by two movie making brothers who aren't really addicted to anything but find life in rehab really nice.Well, as you might imagine; the drugs, thugs, stars, cars, and a chimp all end up making the brothers' movie. And things don't really go as planned.The ratings weren't good, so I doubt if it'll get another shot, so while you can still find it do yourself a favor and check out this great show. You won't be disappointed.

"What is a dark comedy?" That was my initial thought when I stumbled upon this show. I figured it would be some morbid situations and indeed this show abounds in shock and awe. But it does it in a way that is intelligently written and acted and it's not all dark. No the actual main plot is very innocent in a way. It's two brothers that just want to continue living at home making their little cliché action movies with some pretty low end technology. But everything goes sideways and crazy stuff happens in their pursuit of a rather mediocre goal.Should you watch this? If you like shows with a continuous story that builds each week like Arrested Development and Last Man on Earth then definitely. Just know it has some dark moments and you won't be prepared for them which is part of the fun of the show. If you need a laugh track or an audience that is queued to laugh at the "right moments" in order to find something funny then avoid this. But honestly I think most people will like this.In rating shows I'm not trying to go for an all or nothing. Something being bad or perfect. I think a more grade system works best. 5 or below is failing, 6 or 7 is a pass and overall good. 8's and 9's are fantastic... with 10's being less common.

This show has helped revive my confidence in the success and future of Comedy Central seeing as its going though big transitions now and for the next few years with the loss of Colbert, the coming loss of Stewart, the end of Kroll Show, though it was inevitable, just in the same way that Key and Peele and Workaholics will be gone in a few years as well.Hollywood, Florida is in its first season and I really believe its bringing some fresh air with its consistent story line as opposed to a random scenario each weak like Workaholics or Always Sunny(I admit Sunny has stayed hilarious for 10 seasons). I feel like I'm having the same eagerness for next weeks episode like many people were for Empire, and thats a good thing for a network! But whats really reassuring is the confidence Ben Stiller has taken with his aging attitude which has translated into less shits to give. This has definitely made for some hilarious situations as well as some pretty good film making including the back and forth comparisons between scenes for hilarious dark comedy effect in the 5th episode which I just got done watching.Ultimately the show has everything you could want, a fat scapegoat who wears short shorts, untimely deaths of characters who you start to get attached to, and gratuitous use of unspecified drugs, if you're watching Comedy Central chances are your tastes are already pretty poor so this will be great!
