Loved it, deeper than you think


Great casting, directing and story telling. Binge it for the best feel. Yes, Brooklyn is a weird place and the truth is if you really took the average person's life there it would be nothing like these people. It's a dark comedy, and it works. Be careful trying to find out who you are, you may find nothing there, but then, that's a first step isn't? The writer, director and actors will go on to make great work, and that's the real success.

I think it's fantastic. The characters are completely authentic. I think I know most of these people. The writers totally nailed it on that score.

The show is a send-up of clueless, self-important millenials, just like Portlandia ridicules West Coast hipsters. TBS probably isn't the best outlet for the show. TBS viewers are probably looking for sitcoms more than this.

Perhaps they want to distance themselves from that image, though? People of Earth is also quite "out there".

The USA channel, for instance, has come a long way since their Monk, Psych, and White Collar days.

Loved the whole thing. I'm not into regular sitcoms. This seemed like a dark comedy to me. Reminds me of some older films.
