    I'm dying up here meet Vinyl, Vinyl meet I'm dying up here. Same show same problems. Weird view of the early 70's. Not everything was "groovy or mod" looking, sorry I was there. Same weird filming filters on the camera. Hey morons we know it's the 70;s but my 2017 4K HDTV 65" TV says it's friggin 2017. Same too many characters I can't follow and really don't give a F about.

Same fate awaits, save yourself some grief, wait to see if this gets picked up in a few seasons then binge watch them then. Expand

    If all of the characters were as 14-karat authentic as Goldie, I'm Dying Up Here might have had a fighting chance. Instead, even with Jim Carrey on board as an executive producer and Tom Dreesen along for the erratic ride as technical consultant, this Showtime newcomer only intermittently finds its rhythm and hits its stride as compelling drama.

    Like the comedians, the scripts try too hard. Once the stage is set (and those conceits are out of the way), I’m Dying starts to breathe and draw us in.

    The cast is quite good — though Leo overdoes the tough-mother-hen bit-- and for actors not schooled in standup comedy, Griffin, Santino, Graynor et al. fire off one-liners (both funny and derogatory) with the panache of seasoned on-stage comedians. ... It’s hard to root for a coterie of self-involved, vicious people with nothing likable about them.
