A noir-rotic comedy

Jonathan Ames, a young Brooklyn writer, is feeling lost. He's just gone through a painful break-up, thanks in part to his drinking, can't write his second novel, and carouses too much with his magazine editor. Rather than face reality, Jonathan turns instead to his fantasies — moonlighting as a private detective — because he wants to be a hero and a man of action.

Matthew Gilbert · Boston Globe 80.00/100.00

HBO sent out three advance episodes of Bored to Death, and by the third one (also the best one) I felt confident that Schwartzman was exactly where he belongs--in Brooklyn, in a cafe, watching, and worrying.

Dorothy Rabinowitz · Wall Street Journal 80.00/100.00

HBO's Bored to Death sneaks up speedily, an eight-part comic enterprise that's soon transformed into flat-out inspired comedy.

Alessandra Stanley · The New York Times 80.00/100.00

Bored to Death is as idiosyncratic and delightful in its own way as “Curb Your Enthusiasm."
