... View MoreIt's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
... View MoreTrue to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
... View MoreI 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 :)
... View MoreThis 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.)
... View MoreI love the directing and the writing in this series. It's very eccentric, wry humour that only certain people can appreciate.The characters are wonderful, the witty dialog is what makes this show tick.There is some blunt and lowbrow humour in this; not much worse than family guy and if you respect the characters you'll really get the humour.I can't stop laughing when I watch this show and I highly recommend that you watch it; it also dissects society today in great scenes like "sensitivity training" when the facilitator says that handicapped is a derogatory word.If you like family guy then you'll love this.
... View MoreWell, 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!
