Documentary Now!, Season 1

Each one of these is a little treasure, masterfully written and consistently surprising. I'd recommend this series to anyone who liked Spinal Tap, Best in Show, or Behind the Mask: the rise of Leslie Vernon. Could be the best thing Lorne has produced in thirty years.

I admit that when I saw IFC and Fred Armisen, I hastily bought the whole season upfront, thinking it would be like Portlandia (which I love). While I should’ve been more careful before spending my money, I don’t understand how IFC can cancel shows like Garfunkel & Oates but pick up shows like this. Maybe I don’t “get it” because I haven’t watched all the obscure documentaries they are parodying, but not only is this not funny, but many episodes go so dark that they are almost disturbing to watch.

Bill Hader is better than this. Not worth buying the season.

The spoof on grey gardens is done so well that I had to write this. These guys hit it on the head perfectly and had me in tears from laughing. The humor is often subtle so people who aren't paying attention might lose some of it.

Slow and not funny. Just capitalizing on Hader's popularity right now. Only explanation for IFC picking it up for two more seasons before it even aired.

If you're a fan of Fred and Bill's comedy, and the idea of overtly specific things makes you laugh, then you'll find a great humor in this show. The second episode (which I currently don't see on the store) where the boys parody HBO's VICE is spot on and very slickly produced. The series may not be for everyone, but I really enjoy it.

Armisen and Hader are hilarious together. So glad that they came together to create this adorably awkward and smart series. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE parody Super Size Me and Waiting for Superman.

I'm so annoyed to keep seeing SNL alum involved in both high and low budget projects by the cluster as if them being there is enough to make it either entertaining or funny. In fact, seeing clusters of SNL alum in shows is more often than not an indicator that the project was built through networking rather than inspiration. This is one of those projects. Not interesting, not entertaining, not funny.

It was cute 10 years ago, its just pathetic now. Are there any real writers left in television?

two people that just don't get Grey Gardens or at least that's what the weakness of their parody alluded to me. drew barrymore did a far better job channelling Edie than this smug hipster a-hole. they should be half as witty as they think they are.
