Lack of good storyline.

Good idea lost in the noise

Absolutely brilliant

It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

Tig Notaro's infamous 2012 stand-up set at Largo proved that cancer, like anything else, can be funny. Yes, it can. Yes, it can. If you disagree, cool. But you're wrong. That's like saying "broccoli doesn't taste good." Maybe not to you, but to someone, broccoli is delicious. Comedy is subjective, and a joke based on any topic or situation, no matter how horrible or distasteful to you, has the potential be funny to someone. Maybe not you. That's fine. But someone. Trying to apply a "cancer isn't funny" rule is preposterous, conceited, and futile.Okay, here's my opinion of the show, if you care. The second season was weaker than the first. Plot lines started to feel splintered and diverged from the main character's story. Common pitfall of many second season shows. I guess this was more of a rebuttal to another reviewer than a straightforward helpful review. Hope it doesn't keep you up at night.Insomnia isn't funny.

I gave this a "6" rating, because I would have put Season 1 at a 7 or 8, but Season 2 is about a 5. And for me, that's a big difference.Season 1 was very interesting, and certainly unique. It explored the death of Tig's mother, and her being sexually molested at a young age. Despite all that, it had its moments of understated humor, and John Rothman as the anal-retentive step-dad stole most of the scenes he was in. So what happened in Season 2? Where to begin. First of all, as others have already noted, there were quite a few anti-Trump references in the show, which seemed wholly unnecessary. Secondly, Notaro's character became much less likable. Thirdly, they gave more emphasis to the supporting characters this year (her brother, and the aforementioned anal-retentive step-dad), and quite frankly, they weren't very interesting. Fourthly, the first season had a lot more "fantasy sequences" coming out of Tig's fertile mind, and this season, there was very little of that. Fifthly, the show had far fewer funny moments compared to last year. Finally, and most importantly, the main story arc of the series was whether Tig's sound engineer on the radio show (Stephanie Allyne, Tig's partner in real life), would come out as a lesbian and be with Tig. It was all very, very predictable. At only six episodes per season, you can blow right through them, which is what I did for Season 2. Because I assume Season 3 will also be 6 episodes, I'll give it another chance. But now it is on a short leash.

Have you seen ONE MISSISSIPPI? I binged watched the entire season one last night and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND it. Inspired by comedian Tig Notaro's life it's a smart, intermittently hilarious, well-written comedy (dramedy) that's occasionally a downer with intervals of great deadpan jokes. The show has everything! death, cancer, intestinal disease and a missing cat. I'm a Tig fan and great to see Shira Piven directed episode 6 of season one. Also, the executive producer is Louis C.K.I can't wait for season Two!

I had some hope for this dramedy after the first episode. While it's pretty dark material, it is handled with intelligence and occasional humor, and there was something about the tone that reminded me of Transparent.There's also John Rothman's fascinating character.And yet, after the second episode I decided to stop watching. It's all a little too sincere, a bit too focused on the drama at the expense of the comedy, but with a "comedy" quality to it that makes it not quite a drama.This seems like the sort of show some people would love, but I didn't connect with - or particularly like - the characters, and that made me lose interest.
