    Dorf, Davidson, and Ramras aren’t interested in getting particularly deep. They are looking to provoke bigger laughs and more visceral cringes. And, for a few nobodies, they do a pretty good job.

    Its themes are hardly revelations: Hollywood’s hierarchy is a cruel beast; executives are high-strung divas one tantrum away from a deep vein thrombosis; parking in L.A. is hard. But it’s still decent fun to watch the trio throw pebbles in the Narcissus reflecting pool of fame, and enjoy the tiny splash.

    Even though Nobodies works from a familiar playbook and, like its bumbling heroes, can try a little too hard to ingratiate itself, it’s still fun, zippy, and Seinfeldian in its ability to braid together plot based on various humiliations.

    The series could live on its ample supply of good jokes alone, if only the nobodies were properly elevated in a story meant to be about them. Nobodies should be the platform for these three to shine, but they end up ceding the spotlight to their guests or, worse yet, merely the idea of their guests (with all that McCarthy talk).

    Someone thinks this show is a comedy? So far the two episodes I've seen have been scripted disaster shows, with nothing funny happening.

    The premise of the show, while probably happening on a daily basis somewhere in Hollywood is conveyed with such over-acting by poor actors that it becomes non-believable.

    I've taken this show out of my DVR's "to be recorded" list, and do not plan to waste any more of my time watching it.    … Full Review »

It's very "try hard" in an aggressive way, like stand-up comedy that bombs over and over again, where the jokes are all rather obvious set ups that land with hard flops. To make matters worse, none of the three main characters are compelling or interesting enough to make you root for them as they fail again and again in trying to push their script. Given how frequently, obviously, and carelessly the trio lies to people they're trying to impress, combined with their casual distaste for the process and the people involved, I spent most of my time wondering why this was even pitched. I'm astounded that it's already been renewed because it's just so objectively terrible. I could only stand watching two episodes, as they've put me off the rest.… Full Review »
