SO HILARIOUS ! !
22 December 2023
When I saw this show was created by Chuck Lorre I knew I had to watch it. OH MY GOD, it is the funniest thing I've seen in year, thanks to the comedic skills of the two lead actors which are superb at timing, delivery and deadpan humor. First, there's Sebastian Maniscalco, (Danny) who I remembered from Why Would You Do That? He's one of the best standup comedians God ever made, and he can act. It's his understated and blasé reactions to horrific things that are so good, and I'm telling you, the end Season 1, Episode 1 had me howling for five minutes. I had to replay it several times. So original. Every episode has one of those hilarious comedic moments that just come at you, unexpectedly.

Omar J. Dorsey plays Danny's sidekick and he is a great Ying to Sebastian's Yang. He also has the same deadpan humor, but delivered in a different way. Put these two together and it's pure gold. Thanks Chuck, your show is what we all need. DAMN!

If you like to laugh, and who doesn't, you have to watch this. Great writing, good photography. I'm a sucker for anything shot in Los Angeles because I love the area so much.
