i know i wasted 90 mins of my life.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

So I watched this because I love Artie from Howard, and I didn't know anything else about the cast. For me I had to watch a few episodes then it all gelled-like any other sitcom. However, unlike other sitcoms it's not, laugh joke laugh talk a little laugh joke laugh joke. No lsugh track and no obvious playing for the laugh like an act. It's like spying on real life of comedians and all the convoluted situations that arise. It grew on me and I would have binged the whole thing if I didn't have to walk the dog.

An excellent show! Pete Holmes succeeds to make a funny show, while having lots of cameos from famous people in the stand-up industry. The plot is great, and the relationship between Pete and his wife are interesting, and evolving each episode. It is really nice to watch the progress of Pete, trying to evolve his career as a comedian. Also, I really like the contrast between the naivete of Pete and the sarcasm of the stand-up world. A really great show. Recommended!

Pete is one of my favourite standup comedians of all times. Now he does this. I'm glad that its on HBO because that LOLLIPOP deserves it. In all of Petes standup routines, his humour is timeless, meaning that it is something you can download in 2020 and it will stiil be as relevant in 1990, to use your discourse. And now he does this, a LOLLIPOP narrative. About a LOLLIPOP divorce. It is like everything the show Louie didn't manage to capture, and nothing else. Noteworthy is that Pete is a better actor than Louie or Seinfled, but again, who isn't. So LOLLIPOP this show, why on earth did he not continue his Conan approved talkshow? Is this the end of his LOLLIPOP? I will keep watching tho, because i care about you, you LOLLIPOP LOLLIPOP.

What an incredibly refreshing show about a familiar subject. I have been a fan of Pete Holmes for a few years now and I wasn't quite sure how this was going to work on screen- - especially on HBO, but it is more than obvious that this collaboration has been placed in the best of hands. Pete is doing some really special work, and Appatow knows just how to bring it out of him in the best of ways. After years of learning about Pete's story I am so glad we are getting the chance to see his own artistic interpretation of it---and what better way than with the help of Judd Appatow? GREAT casting, top notch writing, lovely moments---both honest and funny, and I really look forward to whatever is coming next.
