    Maron may not have the depth and adventurousness of “Louie” or the crude energy of Jim Jefferies’s “Legit,” but it’s consistently well written (or improvised) and smartly cast.

    Maron portrays a war against self-pity that's unusually resonant for its willingness to plumb the legitimately pitiful.

    As sitcoms about talented, self-defeating assholes go, though, Maron is pretty good, though it has yet to plumb the sublime depths of self-loathing showcased on the likes of Louie, Girls, and Veep.

    Based on a preview of four episodes, the second season of Maron will be as laid-back and lighthearted as the first.

    [The premiere episode] begins with some decent gags (Maron wanting to profess his love with a toe ring!) before he gets to groaners.

    His TV show has none of the ambitious reach of his best podcasts, and it keeps pretending to be edgier than it is.
