ThiefHott Too much of everything

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

jimmyjoe583 Easily some of the best TV being produced. Kudos to all involved.

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!

Branden Christian Diven This show was an incredibly realistic portrayal of the 70's and it's criminally underrated by lame sources like Rotten Tomatoes (probably because it's very non-PC and shows an authentic dose of how much more crass social dialogue was back in the day aka lots of racial slurs). There are definitely moments of hilarity, but just because it is about comedians does not mean it's meant to just be a comedy show...it deals with lots of dark themes we all face in every day life (addiction, death, depression, failure...etc). Excellent show, can't wait for Season 2 because by the end of this last episode I was left wanting more and finally feeling intimately connected to each character.

paulashton001 Like the tragically cancelled Roadies I'm Dying Up Here has not received it's due praise. It's funny and touching examination of the lives of upcoming comedians masks the true magic of the show, which is to relate universal struggle all of us face in trying to realize our future potential while nurturing healthy relationships and balancing responsibilities right now. Shooting for the top before fizzling out or exploding. Reconciling our past with our present. I don't know why these amazing shows have so much trouble finding an audience or critical acclaim. It seems like if character arcs are not clearly defined then critics think it is muddled. This is not the case though.I love this show as I loved Roadies. The history and trade knowledge serve to enrich the themes adding texture and ambiance. I love it. The critics got it wrong but an 80 percent favourable audience score on Rotten Tomatos sounds about right.
