Nov 28, 2022Great show; very well written, acted and filmed. Based on a novel I haven't read so I can't comment on how it's adapted but if you enjoy adult dramedy with dry wit then you'll probably enjoy this.

Dec 29, 2022Just finished the show. Very good show that makes you questions your relationships and their impact on other people as well

Aug 20, 2023Good series about the impact midlife crisis has on people. The acting is very convincing, and the writing keeps you hooked all the time. The voice-over can be too much at times, but it doesn't drive you away. In the end, 'Fleishman Is in Trouble' will make you rethink your role as husband/wife, father/mother, friend, and professional.

There are problems beyond the endlessly yapping voiceover. I don’t recall the Toby of the novel being such a tiresome, self-righteous whinger. Unlike in the book, his dating app escapades appear dated and sleazy. Ultimately, Fleishman Is in Trouble is strongest when viewed as a fortysomething New York cautionary tale.

Illuminating and destabilising, Fleishman Is in Trouble is the kind of show that makes you want to grab people by the shoulders and shake them, to shout "watch this!"

The narration is sharp and there are countless good lines – “Toby liked to say that the end of his marriage happened like the fall of Rome – slowly, then all at once” – but it keeps the audience at a certain remove. But maybe that’s a good thing: best not to get totally immersed in these awful lives.
