Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!

Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Donald Seymour This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Carol I didn't watch pay TV for several years and only came across this this MONTH and haven't been as happy watching anything this witty and goofily entertaining since Psych ended. I didn't expect much at first from the title of the show but was happily surprised. I have an inordinate fondness for detection fiction and all things NYC having gone to Columbia University myself for a humanities degree and lived on the Lower East side back in the late 1980's, the show's settings make me miss NYC very much. Am very sad the show was canceled after such a brief run. Love all the characters and lines like "I'm a non-practicing vegan." Hope to see more from all of the talented team in creating this show and am interested in reading the work of Jonathan Ames now.

Sadie Tisher Overall I find all the characters quite likable and believable, complex and interesting but also consistent. Emotions are real and the writers bring us through the emotions, consequences, and reactions. Why 8? It is unnecessarily dirty. Drugs, sex, profanity. If they took this out it could be a hit for all ages. Genuine questions of friendship, love, what is right and wrong, and hilarious mysteries, are overshadowed by constant drug usage and profane language--it just isn't necessary. I enjoyed the show and laughed very often. I watched it twice in fact. But it gets 8/10 because it could easily be family-friendly (and no, I don't have kids) but they chose profanity instead.

mrronocon I really loved this show. I would highly recommend anyone reading this to give it a try. The only regret you will have is that this series was canceled way to soon. It really should have been given the ending it deserved. Ted Danson is hilarious. If you like film noir or old detective movies then add an extra point to the score. Some of the set pieces are excellently executed and it has a continuing set of recurring characters throughout the three series. If I did have to point at a fault I would say the acting could be better in places and it's the main character is most at fault for this. Otherwise great show. Enjoy.

greerjohnston The funniest thing on TV since "Seinfeld". In fact, when I describe "Bored to Death", I tell people it's the modern Seinfeld, re-conceived as a drama in which people actually have sex and smoke dope like normal folks.Who the hell knew Ted Danson was so funny? Best role of his career. Everyone in this series is fantastic: Jason Schwartzman as the new Jerry Seinfeld, Zach Galifianakis as a seedier, dirtier and, yes, sexier version of George. I think this comedy is aimed squarely at the contingent of New Yorkers (and wannabees) who love reading "The New Yorker" while regretting their fondness for its pretensions. It's the perfect blend of high and low-brow NY sensibilities.Due to the representation of cheerful, harmless drug and alcohol consumption, and all the many references to male genitalia, it would be impossible for this show to air anywhere other than on cable TV. For that reason alone, "Bored to Death" will never be the smash with the masses that Seinfeld was, but still, those of us who love cable and who are always waiting for the next best series will continue to be delighted with it -- and we'll tell our friends. Keep it coming!
