    Falk proves right out of the gate in season three that You're the Worst looks as creatively dangerous as ever.

    In rebuking standards and connecting as individuals, these angry, antagonistic, self-centered companions break the mold for everyone else, so that we, too, can embrace the brave new world of love, whatever way you want it.

    Falk’s biggest challenge is to maintain our interest level in this wackadoodle sextet and especially in Jimmy and Gretchen because these probably aren’t the kind of people you’d want to spend too much time with in real life. He does that by making them all as vulnerable as they are insufferable.

    The show is brimming with salty humor, cynical rants and plenty of raunch. But for all its bleak irreverence, You're the Worst also can be surprisingly sweet, tender and even poignant.

    For the most part, though, You’re the Worst keeps clicking as a decidedly “adult” look at thirtysomething infantilism.

    The return of You’re the Worst is a welcome event, a great way to fill in some of the TV dead zone between now and the mid-September rush.

    This series continues to excel on all the black comedic levels it has before. The dialogue is still sharp as a serrated knife, the situations in which the characters find themselves still amuse and surprise.

    You're The Worst finds hilarity in Season 3 in the unstable fault lines of [Gretchen's] passionate but perversely ambivalent relationship with struggling author Jimmy. [22 Aug - 4 Sep 2016, p.17]

    The characters have emotional issues without huge labels or teachable moments. The lack of stigma is refreshing for television.

    Watching the show's noxious and damaged narcissists slowly, credibly get over themselves remains an entertaining, worth project. But the start of season 3 isn't You're the Worst at its best. [2 Sept 2016, p.51]

    Seems the U.S. still hasn't had its fill of obnoxious English males whose typical facial expression suggests they're sniffing dog turd.Seems the U.S. still hasn't had its fill of obnoxious English males whose typical facial expression suggests they're sniffing dog turd. Frankly I do not understand the fascination with obnoxious trolls with upper class accents and vulgar trashy personalities. I doubt anyone raised in an English household, like me, finds this stuff amusing. Just brings back memories of rude uptight people who think their sh-t don't stink.… Full Review »

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. You know how "Always Sunny" got better and better in the first few seasons? Well, this is nothing like it. Season 1 was killer funny, season 2 carried on the hilarity but the departure from the carefree obnoxiously funny characters we'd grown to love was beginning to become apparent. Gretchen's depression won't go away and why should it? That's the reason we fell in love with the show in the first place (being sarcastic). I don't know why shows move away from their core theme. Now we're spending an entire episode exploring medical marijuana and PTSD or another episode digging in to the origins of Gretchen's depression; the latest one was about Vernon and Paul getting stuck in a forest. I'm finding more and more that creators never think past the first season when they're drawing the blueprint! I'll still watch it though because The Heart is a Dumb Dumb (one of the best episodes ever).… Full Review »
