Loudermilk (2017)
not funny
I wanted to like this because my boyfriend was excited to watch it but it's just not funny at all.
Ron Livingston's character is so unlikable. The interactions with his female neighbor are so condescending and lame, his character has the emotional maturity of a middle schooler, I get that is part of the character but it's so childish. It's embarrassing to watch.
I'm not an expert on AA/NA meetings or ideologies but this seems to be so insulting to actual real groups like this. I understand it's for the "humor" but it's not funny at all.
The CPAP storyline for the snoring roommate, so dumb too. I found this series completely a waste of time and found no laughs.
I hung in there for my boyfriend but I really disliked this show.
High Maintenance (2016)
What a treasure
Just found this show in May of 2023. It does a great job of showing what a wonderful microcosm NYC is. It's really inclusive without feeling cliche. Each episode is (mostly) a completely new story. It effortlessly shows the interconnectedness of New Yorkers, touches on current events, cultures, religions, sexualities, anything you can think of. I love how the stories of the characters are presented as they are, with no judgement, no subtext. The acting!!!! Wow, lots of recognizable faces, some new ones, but all superb. This really is a special series. It is one I'll come back to watch again and again. Highest praise to the writers, producers, creators, actors, and anyone involved. Thank you for this gem!
