    Based on the pilot, Please Like Me falls in the depressing comedy genre along with series like Louis. It's kind of funny sometimes, but everyone is low-key and uncomfortable, and it makes me feel trapped. The performances have a certain casual realism to them, but the only performance I actually enjoyed was the son's caustic second wife. She gave about two minutes of bright, sharp humorBased on the pilot, Please Like Me falls in the depressing comedy genre along with series like Louis.

    I don't plan to watch any more of this one.    … Expand

    Much of the show’s appeal lies in the cast’s shaggy, naturalistic chemistry, which papers over the occasional imperfect plot turn.

    The pilot episode is more amusing than hilarious, but it's often delicately funny thanks to Mr. Thomas' odd duck character and his reactions to those around him. When Geoffrey (Wade Briggs) hits on him, he's flummoxed.

    Please Like Me, unlike the much-praised millennial comedy "Girls," feels unpretentious and natural with fully-realized characters rooted in reality.
