I cannot believe there are people who think this show isn't top-notch. I am a huge fan of comedians like George Carlin, Bill Hicks, Louis CK, Amy Poehler, and Tina Fey. I'm a huge fan of shows like The Office, Parks and Rec, 30 Rock, Seinfeld, You're The Worst. I love a bit of dark humour that feels authentic... I love hearing the things we all think but know are too inappropriate to say. And I love seeing it done well.Difficult People is amazing at making you laugh when you shouldn't and feeling great about it. Give it a shot.

I love this show. It's obnoxious...because Julie & Billy are so into themselves it's unbelievable. Through all the obnoxious behavior you end up loving the characters and their struggles for finding themselves in their mid 30s. So many shows characters "find themselves" at 22...let's be real who finds themselves in their 20s. Future divorcees, maybe. If you aren't into pop culture references, don't watch it. Save it for people who are. Like me! Arthur isn't brought up in many reviews and he should be. The weird but loving names he calls Julie in each episode are enough for him to come up. I hope his character gets bigger in their next season.

I went into this show knowing literally nothing about it. The show follows two friends Billy and Julia trying to break into show business. They dislike pretty much everyone except each other and are completely narcissistic and shallow.Both of the main characters are constantly talking trash about celebrities whom they are obviously envious of. I really enjoy how self absorbed the main characters are as I feel like it's pretty much a job requirement for a comedian or actor.Although a lot of the jokes targeting various celebrities are funny, a lot of the humor comes from the characters dropping a joke to the wrong audience. One example is the controversial Blue Ivy joke. Billy and Julia attend a dinner party hosted by some rather square friends. Julia tells a story about posting a tweet that said She can't wait for Blue ivy to be old enough for R Kelly too pee on." Everyone at the party is offended and rather than back peddling, she continues to explain the joke further. I did find that joke to be pretty funny, but I feel like the people getting offended are failing to recognize that the joke was intended to show how socially daft the main characters are as opposed to just being offensive for the sake of being offensive. There are also a ton of great guest stars including a "Sober Magician" Named Abra Cadouglas played by Kate Mckinnon who only does magic tricks that tie into her sobriety. This show is MA and takes full advantage of being able to say what it wants. Although it is edgy and no at times dark you really do emotionally connect to the characters. I foresee a long run from thus show. I am very impressed with "Difficult People" so far and look forward to seeing a long run it may not have been able to have on traditional television.

Great new comedy!It's been a while since I watched something labeled as comedy and actually laughed because of it. I have survived through many comedy series where the laughter in the background is making me feel guilty that I am not laughing when it is clearly a "Hey! This part is funny!You should laugh as well!" sign. Watching this was refreshing. Mean comedy is not really that new and it is not really nice when you encounter it in real life if it is enforced by negativeness. But even with that, I really did laugh and enjoyed the first three episodes. It might be a just a bit harder for some with all of the celebrity references, but even without that knowledge, they will make you laugh.I hope that people will be able to look at this for what it is: a comedy series. And in comedy, nothing is offensive.
