Difficult People2015
It's not them. It's you.
Life is really tough for Julie Kessler and Billy Epstein, two thirty-something aspiring comics living and working in New York City. While their friends and acquaintances move on to find success and love, they continue to struggle with careers and relationships, getting more bitter by the day.

3 cataloguedBased on the five episodes screened, Difficult People isn’t interested in treading water this season, contributing to a richer, more empathetic experience that never also fails to find the funny.
Why on Earth would anyone want to spend a half hour with these people? Simple: because they are hilarious. The fact that they don’t have a good word to say about anyone reflects on them, and the image isn’t pretty, but it’s very, very funny.
Like Happy Endings and Community, People continues to lean heavily on minute referential humor. Those who would enjoy Julie and Billy’s companionship in real life will have just as much fun watching them on television, while those who wouldn’t are doomed to smile, nod, and pretend they get the joke.
