The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Hi, amazing show with amazing unforgettable moments! Now, sorry for not writing a general review, but I am focusing of an especific scene here, at around min 14 in the episode #3 (Rehabilitation). Not only the song is really beautiful, but how the director makes everything come together with it in the background is simply perfect! These are just around 4 minutes which should go on record as one of the best moments in TV history. Watch the scene like 10 times laughing MAO...By the way, does somebody know the name of the opera song which starts in min 16:30 in the mentioned episode #3 Rehabilitation? I just can get it out of my head.

I know there must be some people out there who would not like this show, but I'm glad they aren't counted among my friends, because Big Time in Hollywood, FL is without a doubt the funniest show to come along in 2015. It is a slacker comedy of the first degree. The plot is so complex that at times I wonder how its target audience can follow it. And that, my friends, is a good thing. There are gangsters, drug lords, washed up actors looking for two kinds of big scores (Cuba Gooding Jr as himself in a scene stealing role), cocaine by the kilo ton, and so on.All overseen by two movie making brothers who aren't really addicted to anything but find life in rehab really nice.Well, as you might imagine; the drugs, thugs, stars, cars, and a chimp all end up making the brothers' movie. And things don't really go as planned.The ratings weren't good, so I doubt if it'll get another shot, so while you can still find it do yourself a favor and check out this great show. You won't be disappointed.

This show is meta, whatever the f*ck that means. But for real, this show is a big, fun middle finger metaphor to Hollywood TV script conventions. Lot of sh*t gets bleeped out, like a lot. But that's what adds to the charm of the show. The actors go to hard-boiled acting levels, something you see on the big screen, not the small screen, let alone a comedy. Nothing is held back. It's genius. ******SPOILER****** Do you need to be a genius to enjoy this show? No, but a decent IMDb IQ- knowing your Shawshank and what roles some actors are known for- is required. Cuba gives his "show me the money" all to drugs, Jason Alexander picks up where he left off in Pretty Woman, some play against type while others epitomize their roles. The casting is pitch perfect.And boy oh boy this show is dressed up like a seriously beautiful movie production but with garishly funny details added to it. ENJOY!SIDE NOTE: Watch @midnight starring the Dolfe family. Makes you wonder how much is improv because Lenny Jacobson and Stephen Tobolowsky are golden.

I've been an avid IMDb user/fan for over 14 years now (just checked my profile) and have never felt inclined to post a user review. That said, I just watched Big Time In Hollywood, FL, excitedly came to IMDb to see if others shared my exuberance over this incredibly fresh, well-executed, semi-farcical gem and noticed there were no comments as of yet. So I figured hey, why not have my first user review be the one to start the praise that is sure to pour in.This show is terrific. I would say "brilliant" (and it does border on it), but as a huge fan of comedy farce and absurdism (everything from Strangers With Candy to Children's Hospital), I won't go so far as to say I've never seen anything like it- but that doesn't mean "Big Time" doesn't come through on almost every level... big time. If you appreciate the brilliant mind of Ben Stiller (the way only he could deliver ridiculous characters like White Goodman in Dodgeball, Zoolander, and even his character's acting style in Tropic Thunder), you will most definitely enjoy the style of Big Time in Hollywood. New shows can be incredibly disappointing these days, so it's all the more satisfying when one is actually right on point. Great stuff!
