    Too much of everything

    Brendon Jones

    It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

    Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

    A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

    I stumbled across this in Netflix, and it is my favorite find, so far. I was a fan of the duo from 'Pregnant Women are Smug' and similarly funny youTube videos, but this show exceeded all expectations. Especially the second half of the season, where each episode seems to start with a ridiculous premise, and hilarity reliably ensues.Each episode is dense with jokes and charm, I'm only sorry that there aren't more episodes. The plots are light-hearted, but every thread seems to pay off by the end of each episode. Both characters are well-developed an their friendship is endearing. I especially love the Natasha Leggero and other great cameo appearances. I hope this show can return again soon!

    This new comedy has a lot more preparation and work than you might think at first.Except the scenes where actress–songwriters Kate Micucci (Oates) and Riki Lindhome (Garfunkel) talk to each other, delivering some quirky and funny dialogs, the show includes some unique musical cuts that have an almost surrealist feel! These musical interruptions (sang by the duo) are related to each episode's plot but presented in a unique way, that may include animations or even ...muppets! They are carefully designed and you might even get 2 or 3 in each episode.Because Garfunkel and Oates are 2 single, liberal young women, relationship and sex themes are inevitable, but think of it more like a lighthearted, easy going, relaxing comedy with music and songs.Also they spared us from any annoying fake laugh track.Overall: Check it out and decide.

    These two performers are brilliant! I've enjoyed several of their song videos on the web, and just watched the premier of their series. I was cautiously hopeful, maybe a bit doubtful, that they could weave together a coherent show in the longer format, but they nailed it. Funny, insightful, self-deprecating, honest, awkward, topical humor that's a rare find these days among U.S. comics. It's a real pleasure to find this kind of sophisticated talent without having to look to Australia or the U.K. Please sign them up for another season!To provide some context, one of my favorite recent comedic shows is Rake - The Australian series, not the horribly lame Hollywood remake that wastes Greg Kinnear's talent. My favorite all-around comedic actor is the U.K.'s Steve Coogan. If you have a taste for that kind of humor, you should give Garfunkel and Oates a try.

    It took me a minute, but I totally love it. By the time I got to 'Speechless' I was hooked. I can't wait for more episodes. It's not going to be for everyone, but I'm all about it. The stories are clever and funny. That's really all I need in a TV show. The music is funny although, musical comedy is not my favorite. I like that they talk about stuff that's not typical "girl" comedy. They poke fun at themselves more than others, which is awesome. Its great to be able to laugh at other people's perceived short comings along with them. The show isn't mean when it does make fun of others because it's what we're all thinking or at the least, they make fun of themselves at the same time.
