A brilliant film that helped define a genre

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

This show is nowhere near as good as Mr. Show was and that's too bad because I really enjoyed that series. I guess maybe they just aren't trying as hard or something, maybe they're too successful with their other work now so didn't have enough time to really put into writing and taping this show? It just seems like it hasn't been finished properly or something. Yes there are a few good sketches that made me laugh, like the extended time travel thing they started the show with, but overall it was just sloppy and lazy and full of some pretty lame jokes. Hopefully they come back and are in their old form because I'd love that but also I don't want them to end their shows on this note.

If you only know Bob from Breaking Bad and David from Arrested Development you are clearly not a fan of comedy and have no business reviewing this show.Bob Odenkirk was a writer for SNL, David Letterman and Get a Life. He created Tenacious D and has written,directed,produced and starred in most of Tim and Eric's work and tons of other Adult Swim shows.He is a comedy god and he never even saw Breaking Bad before he was on it(Google it).If you watched this show because of Breaking Bad you're a mental midget who should have his internet privileges suspended.For those who have brains, this show is an awesome reincarnation of Mr. Show.It's sketch comedy for smart people who like to laugh.Most people won't get it because SNL has tricked people into believing that sketch comedy is just supposed to be the same unfunny recurring characters and prerecorded "songs".This show(and Mr. Show) never did lame jokes about politics that make a show almost unwatchable after a few months.Eight-teen years after Mr. Show you can still watch it and not know that it's old.This show will be the same way.A true timeless comedy classic.If you're just a Saul fan don't bother with this show.It is far beyond anything you can comprehend.

Laugh track, Bad jokes, and Poorly executed jokesThese are all done on purpose and that doesn't make it good. If a bad movie knows it's a bad movie, that doesn't make it a good movie.This show feels like they dug into a dumpster and found a folder containing all the rejected skits from Saturday Night Live and that does not make it funny.If you're one of the people that can laugh at bad movies like Scary Movie or Sharknado, this might be something you'd enjoy.I, for one, am tired of shows selling off the idea of "we're lazy and that's why it's good!" to the simple-minded who accept bad writing because it makes them laugh.

I love Saul Goodman and I love Tobias Funke. I'm not really that familiar with the rest of the work of Bob Odenkirk and David Cross but they pop up from time to time in good stuff like Curb Your Enthusiasm and the occasional excellent but generally ignored Indy film, and one of them is in a band, apparently, and I generally like them. But, for me it's mainly about the best character in Arrested Development and my favourite character in Breaking Bad who was so good was made the subject of the equally brilliant spin off show Better Call Saul.So I was intrigued to see this new offering from these two fine actors who are currently at the top of their game. Oh how deeply disappointing. David Cross seems to be a genuinely funny guy but the rest of the cast is woeful and, try as he might, not even he can carry that much dead wood and the script is like a badly worked high school improv workshop. Odenkirk is not a naturally funny man it seems, his timing and delivery is way off and he just looks pitifully out of his depth. He's clearly an accomplished comedy writer (if you like that sort of thing) and not a natural sketch comedy performer. The rest of the supporting cast have good pedigree but they look like they are just there to support their newly famous friends egos in this ill advised vanity project.Maybe it's an American thing, after all Saturday Night Live has been doing this shtick for decades and is still huge despite it being about as funny as a family bereavement.IMDb's user rating is currently 8.4 but I'll wager my favourite trousers that this ridiculously high score will plummet to under 7 by Christmas, which would still be overly generous. It is a waste and a shame because it could, nay, should have been much MUCH better considering the talent on show.
