I feel like this show is tailor made for me.
Made by stand up comedian(s). (Similar to Louis CK's "Louie" or Rob Delaney's "Catastrophe" - both ranked among the tops in comedy series - for me). And speaking of comedy series - I'm loving season 2 of Baskets (also a Louis CK production).
Anyway - this show has all the ingredients.
Dark comedy.
Big City.
Complex relationships (somewhat).
Uncomfortable humor.
5/5 - Love it.
This show is obviously not for everyone. But if you are a fan of any of the shows I've mentioned above, you won't be disappointed.

Have been enjoying this one, pretty funny. As a criticism it does kind of seem like it's just the same formula for every episode ... could get kind of old as a show overall after awhile, but I get some laughs each episode ... I think I'm glad its just a half hour show with some funny jokes in there so I don't have to put much thought or effort into watching.

Yeah it definitely has a finite lifespan - but they are sorta unfolding his life slowly (so-to-speak). His relationship with his wife, his struggles in letting her go, his weird relationship with his over-bearing mom, his homeless life as a starving comedian in a big city, his epic interactions with leif, his new beginnings,... (etc.) BTW - I've spent many an evening inebriated, at the corner of mcdougle and 3rd (i.e. "his spot" where he was handing out flyers ).

The first episode in S2 was pretty good. I couldn't stop rewinding the 'peel the banana, slice the banana, go banana' part. Too friggin funny.

Lol yes! Glad this show is back, I don't really have any other comedies on my schedule. Also got a kick out of the ice cream song, I went to one of those places once and definitely made the people sing the song.
Love to see some Gilbert Gottfried too!

Season 2 finished tonight. Another good season I thought. I assume another season is already lined up , though I'm not sure what the focus of the next season might be. My first thought was maybe Pete's getting more and more college gigs and stuff and traveling around, but then I thought that traveling around might not make for the most entertaining plot lines. Maybe some potential TV role that ends up falling through at the end? Maybe I'll let the writers hash out whats best for next season?
