About
If you enjoy talky, character-driven comedy-dramas about fame and self-reinvention—closer to You Hurt My Feelings than a broad comedy—you’ll likely be into it; Not for you if you want nonstop jokes or a fast, plot-heavy ride.
Pros: sharp dialogue; strong chemistry; smart, edgy humor | Cons: uneven pacing; not laugh-out-loud; messy, aimless stretches
