Difficult People is proudly absurd and wallows in our hope that people as hilariously obnoxious as Julie Kessler and Billy Epstein couldn’t possibly exist in the real world. Read full review

There’s some incredible reference work happening here, the sort that challenges even the most savvy pop culture nerd, but the inclusion that comes with recognizing each mention proves super-rewarding. Read full review

Like Happy Endings and Community, People continues to lean heavily on minute referential humor. Those who would enjoy Julie and Billy’s companionship in real life will have just as much fun watching them on television, while those who wouldn’t are doomed to smile, nod, and pretend they get the joke.

The exhilarating thing about Difficult People is that it consists of aggressive insult humor that’s rooted in a friendship that’s all heart. Read full review

Difficult People mocks and guts its targets--sometimes with the awkward stumbling of a chainsaw, mostly with the precision of a scalpel--but it does so without bringing attention to the fact that it’s so good at doing its job. Read full review

In its first season, Difficult People distinguished itself with such fast-paced, snippy dialogue, but the show has become more than just a series of quick jokes. The writing has grown increasingly intricate. Read full review

The hilarious Difficult People launches a second season of shockingly outrageous farce. [11-24 Jul 2016, p.17]
