Reviews for The Comeback

Snapping my fingers for Lisa Kudrow & Michael Patrick King! You guys are totally ahead of time. The first few eps are such viscerally uncomfortable watches but once you get the hang of its satirical comedy, you'll see how big the truth this show holds

When I grasped the idea that this season was about Valerie working again with Paulie G on a show that clearly depicted her in such a bad light, I dreaded it because not only I didn't wanna contaminate my eyes by seeing that fuckface, I feel like the entire season's documentary setup would be a repet

Marketing this as a sitcom is so amiss. The Comeback is much more than that; it takes us into an introspective journey of women navigating not only the ruthlessness of the entertainment industry but the ruthlessness of being a woman before society. There are MANY hard pills to swallow throughout the

If "Fleabag" and Black Mirror's "Nosedive" had a love child, this would be it. I've been wanting to watch this in a long time and now I finally binged the entire first season and it's so, so good. I think it's marketed the wrong way because it's not really just comedy, and it's nothing like The Off

Ironically, it’s the complete opposite of everything I liked about the show’s first season, but that only made me like it more. It’s a kinder, more mature take on celebrity and their rel

When Valerie laughs, I laugh; when Valerie cries, I cry. It’s one of the greatest things a sitcom can accomplish in its first season: developing characters that you grow to care for as if they’re real people. That was the case for me anyway on my first watch of The Comeback, and it still is years la

i rly liked this season hilarious with great commentary even though the season there are too many episodes cause there are dull points in the show and sometimes the cringe comedy is more cringe than funny

I actually liked the first season more! Super happy with the ending though, good work! And seriously, when has a show ever been cancelled and then brought back 9 years later?? Wild! Stupendous! Incredible!
