AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks

Lucybespro It is a performances centric movie

Noutions Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

verocruz05 I would know. I have binge watched both seasons 3 times! The writing, the acting, the cinematography, the costume the sets......all are perfect. Compelling story telling. I got attached to majority of the characters and crave so much more knowledge on the characters backgrounds and future experiences. Please I beg of showtime to renew and give us Season 3!!

michellemerletto I keep with this show because it could be so great but is just not there yet!.... it's just too depressing.. each character's story lines don't seem to develop, Goldie could be great but isn't the best actress, there is nothing likable about the character Bill he's such a jerk... the boys that live in the closet started out hysterical ... Brad Garrett's character is dreadful to watch, and unfortunately the stand up isn't very funny.I am sure you are thinking if you hate, just don't watch rather than write this, but I'll keep watching because I believe it's going to be good, there's something there!

drael64 There's a few things that you should know about this before heading in. Firstly, it's mot particularly funny. There's a few scenes that might amuse, but both the stand up bits and the humour in the show is pretty juvenile. It amounts to "your mum" jokes, racial observation (black people say so and so), and fairly basic sexual humour. Perhaps this is an accurate reflection of how comedy has evolved, but really don't expect to chuckle.It's primarily pretty serious drama. The drama is relatively compelling, well acted, but then there's the second and third things you should know. It's dark, it's not uplifting, it'll leave you feeling sort of glum. And lastly, it's filled with very progressive narratives, as most post-naughties historical works are. And by this I mean, that the characters are quite black and white - the really bad people, are all white men. The women are to be sympathised with. There's the whole racial element. And I don't mean, as one would expect that it's just a current events, period theme. I mean it's sort of blow up into cartoonish proportions, as the progressive narrative tends to do.So if you looking for something with complex characters that are likeable and hateable at the same time, nuance on the periods issues, or multiple points of view, you may be disappointed. And if you are a centrist, conservative or left libertarian of some variety, you may find it irritating enough based on its every presence in media to give up on it.That said, if you are a baby boomer, millennial or other individual with leftist tendancies and don't mind something that brings little laughs and is kind of depressing - you'll probably like it. It's a very single lensed somewhat downbeat drama

haslentz After a 'first career' in ordinary work, I decided to take a fling at stand-up comedy at the Comedy Zone in Jacksonville Florida for a second life. It's a major club that draws "A-list" comics from L.A. And NYC for the Thursday-Sunday shows. Us rank neophytes are given the opportunity to do 5-12 minutes on a Tuesday-Wednesday, and we learn from the local club owner who is a national booker of comic talent. We had to pay and complete an 8 week class, and then meet the standard in our 'graduation show' to be part of the team. About half make it. I'm Dying Up Here is so much like what we go through every week. We get paid nothing, we get one free drink each night we work, no food. I drive 50 miles one way to the club, at least twice a week. The owner is like Goldie - he knows the business, he's demanding but supportive, and if we work another club, we're in trouble. But he knows his stuff. Some who have come up this way have done well, going on to Hollywood and Vegas. We've met Arsenio, Tom Arnold, Sheri Sheppard, Ralphie May, Bob Saget, etc. You want to know what it's really like? Like "I'm Dying up here" - minus the sex. Or maybe it's just me... Look for a club that has a comic class - try it.
