Plantiana Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

Evengyny Thanks for the memories!

Ceticultsot Beautiful, moving film.

Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

The Hawk I think the premise for this show was fantastic. The author with writers block turning amateur detective for inspiration being a good means for both comedy and introducing new characters or plot-lines.However the comedy was usually quite dark so that it rarely evoked a laugh and merely placed the antics of the characters in the category of absurd. To be fair to the show there were a few truly hilarious episodes but they were few and far between.The characters themselves were actually quite pathetic in a number of ways spending their time drugged up or slightly boozed for the entirety of the series and all having multiple character flaws. I also found Jonathan Ames naming his primary protagonist after himself a stroke of colossal narcissism.Overall not great. But it fills a space and time.

aaroninacave i have to say that as a rule i generally like Jewish comedies, Seinfeld, Curb, Woody Allen etc etc and i also like Ted Danson who was very good in Becker.So i thought this show should be great and i really wanted to like it, but after 4 or 5 episodes i realised that it was actually boring me, nothing happened and there was nothing of note to even make me chuckle... do yourself a favour and give this one a miss. please ignore this last line as it is only here to appease the line count Nazi's from IMDb!!!another line IMDb? another line?

George Grigorian I missed it when it started back in 2009, but somehow I had a feeling that this would be a great show. I started watching now on HBOGO and am loving it! Great story, great acting! One of the only things that helps me relax in these stressful days we live in.I have to say though, I got really sad when George was diagnosed with cancer and I was really bombed that why my favorite show that make me soooo happy has to have such drama in it... just to find out, that it was a mistake!!! :) I love you guys!!! great writing, great acting!!! Love the lines that Ted Danson says from time to time in the show and quote them on my facebook page crediting the show of course! I would love love love to work with you.cheers, George :)

bowier17 Bored to Death is completely unlike any other programs on at the moment, and its unique qualities, well-played characters and sometimes ridiculous plots have completely absorbed me ever since the first series. Jonathan Ames, played by Jason Schwartzman, is a heartbroken and muse-less novelist who decides to become a private investigator. His "cases" are more often than not seemingly run-of-the-mill, but when the bumbling pothead cartoonist Ray Hueston and the sartorial silver fox George Christopher become involved the plots rapidly become bizarre and hilarious.The highlight of the show is the well-crafted and aptly played characters facing these absurd situations. Ted Danson excels in playing George Christopher, creating an insightful and comic guide for Jonathan Ames. Many of my favourite moments and lines involve George and his insatiable desire for weed, liquor and beautiful women. Ray Hueston is Jonathan Ames' "side-kick" - a down-and-out cartoonist trying to succeed with his comics about "Super-Ray"; a superhero costumed version of himself equipped with a 9-foot long penis. Madly in love with his girlfriend, his rather cringe failings as a boyfriend are very funny. I am not so impressed by Jonathan Ames as a character though, as he is quite vapid and not often particularly funny. On the other hand, this absence of a fleshed-out subconscious to Jonathan is possibly the director's choice to push more focus on the other characters.The writing is also incredible. Dialogue isn't exactly believable, as these caricatures are all overly witty, cultured and dramatic, but it makes me laugh all the more. The deep friendship between Jonathan and George seems to be based on a father-figure relationship that is strange, funny and at times heart warming as the characters go through slightly more serious times in the 2nd and 3rd series. Most of all, a show about 3 fully grown adults in the cultural sector smoking weed, drinking all the time and going on some crazy adventures just sounds awesome.
