It needs to be shouted out from the rooftops how great this show is


This show is so incredibly hilarious yet also dramatically engaging that I feel like it's not getting the attention it deserves. I mean I guess for starters that's because it's on TBS. Prior to this show's airing, I would have told you that TBS is the place for bottom-of-the-barrel comedies that simply don't meet the quality standard of many superior networks. A standard not even close to what you'll find on HBO. Yet here we are with this show. It's so funny. It deserves to be the high pedigree you'll find on a premium network.

Of course, amazingly, it also doubles as an engrossing drama. The plot is masterfully conceived. I just got done watching the season finale and initially I thought, WTF? What did I just watch? For 5 minutes I was so disappointed with how i initially perceived the ending. Then it finally hit me that obviously things aren't what they seem. That revelation blew me away. It's been a long time since I've seen a season finale so thought-provoking.

So, yeah, in short, this is the most underrated series in TV history.

Yeah - I've watched the first 8 episodes this week and loved it - really funny and despite hating most of the characters in the first episode I've ended up liking them all for different reasons. I love Ali anyway from Arrested Development but never seen the others before. Hopefully watching the last 2 tonight so may report back! :)
