    MamaGravity good back-story, and good acting
    Merolliv I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.
    Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
    Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
    killjoywholiksgameing Great News, even though it was short-lived, is worth a binge watch. While it has it's issues, which many have pointed out, check the dates those reviews were posted on. The negative ones were mostly posted in 2017, during the show's first season. However, the series solved it's issues by the time the fifth episode of the season aired. But, it wasn't until the seventh episode that the series truly began to shine. It is one the best sitcoms to air on NBC this decade. It's so witty and humorous. Each character really comes into their own after a handful of episodes. The character of Chuck, played by John Micheal Higgins, is the most lovable of them all. His charm is irresistible and I found myself enjoying his portrayal most of all. Give a watch and stick with it, it gets better, even when you think it's already at it's best. Support the series online, and tweet at Hulu or Netflix to pick-up the series for a third season, if you like it. It deserves to thrive like Tina Fey's other Netflix sitcom, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, which is also quite funny, but not as funny as Great News.
    chriskoczka-64473 Too much of "Great News" is a repetitious telling of a bad joke: the most irritating character ruining the adult aspirations of her daughter. The daughter is emotionally crippled due to the bad parenting of her loser of a mother.
    blynkebloodlust My mistake was that I didn't. I thought that I was being too hard on a joke that missed its mark by a mile, so I kept going. Within another minute or two I regretted having continued. The jokes are cringe-worthy. While I managed to sit through the entire show, I took it off my DVR scheduling immediately following. Although I enjoy (with varying degrees) the 3 shows in the lineup before this, it is simply not worth staying around. Tina Fey was the draw for me, enjoying most of her other work, but the show failed to make me crack a smile even once.
    verucasalt23-1 I started watching this because I really like Andrea Martin in Difficult People and My Big Fat Greek Wedding. I didn't realize it was created by the 30 Rock writers. This show definitely started slow, and I don't love the lead actress. But I do like the rest of the cast. It reminds me a lot of 30 Rock, with a "normal" trying to deal with a crew of weird egoists in a television setting. It took that show a while to get going, and I hope NBC will give this show a chance to find its legs also. The fact that they're burning it off with two episodes a night seems to make that doubtful, but hey, maybe they won't have anything else to air. It's not like their comedies have been hitting lately.Verdict: Give it a try.
