Agreed. I watched the first episode last week on Hulu and laughed quite a bit. A very strong first episode and a cast full of people I love.

I'm loving it. The entire cast is so on the ball. Leggero is particularly brilliant.

It's Downton meets the Real Housewives.

Anyone watch the rest of the season? I thought the finale was great. I'm so glad it's getting another season. I wonder if they'll do a time jump.

I couldn't get into this one, at all, but am curious is Documentary Now is the same sort of humor?

DEAR GOD NO! Documentary Now is devoid of humor while Another Period is hilarious. DN is the kind of "look how clever we are, aren't we clever?" but I think AP is funny in that it takes taboo topics and puts a hilarious spin on it like when Garfield was ravished by Pussy. I still think Difficult People is my favorite kind of comedy and one of the best I've ever seen.

I ADORE this show. It's currently my favorite show on TV and I can't believe I have to wait for 2016 for more new episodes.

I didn't hate Documentary Now, but I didn't think it was all that funny. The ending of the first episode was clever, but up till that it really felt like a straight-faced recreation of Grey Gardens.

I've only watched a few episodes of Another Period, but I thought it was hysterical. (And also never would've known that Paget Brewster was Dodo Bellacourt.)
When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain.

I know she's done other stuff since Friends, but I don't think I'd seen Paget Brewster in anything since then until she was on Community earlier this year. She nailed it on that, too.

I loved the show. Thought it was a fun take off of Dowton Abbey. Couldn't figure out why Christina H. Was basically playing the same character she played on Mad Men...

I like Difficult People, but I think I'll pass on this and DN then, heh. Thanks!
