The greatest movie ever made..!

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Honestly, there are just way too many dumb characters and we can see it's just too forced! You can't possibly go 10 minutes into the series without your brain going numb from all the retarded conversations the characters have with each other...They are all so slow and seem to have the emotional intelligence of a rock. I understand that can be part of the fun but making all the characters like that leaving only Chip as the "normal average IQ guy" is way too much for a normal brain to handle.

This show is certainly flawed in some aspects, but that is also part of its nature. That might be difficult to understand. It can be a bit of a mess, just like the main character and the spirit of the show. What is however extremely competent, is the way it is shot. It's gorgeous. The cinematography is probably the best i've ever seen in a TV-show. The way it uses Vence as location and the way they capture light is gorgeous; the orange glow of a low sun shot in natural light on location. the locations and vibe of venice. Together with the use of music this makes a framework that gives the show an inherent quality that few other shows have..The show is like a mix of The Big Lebowski and Californication, with some added flair of beat literature. You either get those things or not, and sometimes you need time. The show certainly grew on me, and somehow I couldn't stop watching. Enjoy the atmosphere that is beautiful and chillThe show does sometime dip into melodrama a bit too much for my liking, when it should be a bit more comedic than it is. But it is a far more intelligent, mature and artistic show than most. In fact it's probably one of my favourite shows since Treme.

and didn't drink the Koolaide or buy into it wholesale, might appreciate this show. It's dark, dry and real. There's always "that guy" (many of them) who talk the program and really "work it" whether they are still drinking or not. They also love to work the 13th step, which consists of preying on younger and vulnerable women new to the program. They are indeed flakes. AA is full of them. They talk love and acceptance but in my experience, ego stroking, controlling their sponsees, and bragging is the real name of the game. I don't begrudge the community many of these folks get at AA. Most of them need serious psychological help they can't afford. They do get help but the program isn't entirely healthy. World wide membership is way down, their funds are way down. Chip is embodies this whole feeling for me. I even knew a guy named Chip in AA!

Excellent, engaging first season. I can not wait for Season 2. I sat and watched the entire first season; back to back episodes. I have never done this with any show. It displays Will Arnett's power as a writer, producer and actor. This isn't an expected comedic performance. The character development is deep rooted with real life moral issues. The comedy is dry and masked within the everyday dialogue. He manages to make a very dark, self-centered person desirable. Overall the show has great character writing across the board. The soundtrack is brilliant. This needs to be renewed with more seasons, it is truly fantastic.
