Undescribable Perfection

Such a frustrating disappointment

I'll tell you why so serious

Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

I had to comment on this show simply to boost it's undeserved 3 stars it was getting. It's rare Canadian shows can deliver and especially compare with US big budget shows but somehow Billable hours works.Its fun bittersweet corky jokes get quick laughs yet are just valid enough so that office workers can somehow relate to their context. Characters still seem very shallow (even for lawyers!) so i don't know how long this series will last but slowly over the years i hope through twists of events (romance, good friend bad friend..., new hires...) some development will take place.Overall, if The Office and Scrubs had a Canadian Torontonian baby this show would be it... for better or worse :)

Seeing as quality Canadian TV shows are an utter rarity (comedies being no exception)one has to appreciate the extraordinary quality of this show. It rivals even the biggest budget American comedies and surpasses many in both outright hilarity and uniqueness. Each of the characters are so uniquely absurd but only marginally outside the realm of believability.The clever allusions to real life Toronto events (the opening events of S2E1 is based on a real occurrence). The main characters complete and utter amorality becomes such an endearing trait that I've come to wish I had more friends that would mess with me on a daily basis (to keep things interesting). The dark comedy with it's sensitive subjects and pervasive ennui made this show a hilariously endearing one.

This show is hilarious for any modern office worker.I trust it will become a classic like the movie 'Office Space'.It's funny yet true how little actual work gets done, in our modern automated economy. They debate such things as parking spots, ghost e-mails, other pranks, and office chairs.Especially for lawyers, who get associates to do all the work, then mark it up and charge you $500 per hour.Those 'critics' that don't like this show likely never worked in an office before.(or more likely never worked before.)

Well, contrary to the person in the first inappropriate and unneeded comment, I happen to LOVE this show. The writing, acting and everything else with this show is almost correct. The chemistry all of the actors have is simply amazing. (Though I would like to see tag's character do a little bit more.) And the last thing that I would have to say is that the writing is far more realistic in the fact that they all use curse words in their everyday conversations, just like the youth and young adults, and practically everyone else, of today do. I really love this show and am hoping for at LEAST 3 seasons! Also, it is needed to let everyone out there know that I want ever so badly to be a television writer, but have been to lazy and barely completed a script. But, after last nights episode of Billable Hours, I have found what was missing from myself to go all out and build my portfolio: passion. See, before watching last nights episode, I had all of these ideas in my head, but again there is the laziness. After watching the episode, I went to bed @ 11, and got up @ 12 am and wrote for an hour. So, in conclusion, I say watch Billable Hours, and please, PLEASE go into it with an open mind so hopefully you will be able to enjoy and fall in love with it like I and all of my roomies have. Peace!
