Season 2 Review:
In no way does it lose the sublime sauce that lubricates everything here--how movies and movie-making, or just the allure of Hollywood, capture the imagination of those outside that world while warping those within it. That's where the best comedy comes from in Get Shorty and there's no letting up on that element in the early going of season two.

Season 1 Review:
Mr. O’Dowd is a delight as we watch Miles get sucked into the hell that Hollywood can be. And the series made an inspired choice by casting Ray Romano as Rick, a failing producer whose help Miles seeks. The two, Droll and Droller, pair deliciously, but they don’t hog the proceedings, leaving plenty of room for all sorts of other colorful characters to make an impression.

Season 1 Review:
Scenes go on too long, the plot spins its wheels, and one can sense that the narrative is being stretched well far past its breaking point. What results is a show that works in moments--you can’t get a cast this talented together and not produce some interesting moments--but never develops a rhythm.
