Absolutely loved this. This is just Public Speaking but much bigger. Scorsese's direction here is also much more interesting, it certainly gives Ellen Kuras more to work with. I think the presentation of this docu-series was really neat. But of course the focus is Fran Lebowitz, and she's a riot. Hearing her speak about other people in New York has kind of made me more self-conscious about how I act when I'm in the city. I'm not sure if most people would like this. I would check out Public Speaking first to see if you like Fran Lebowitz's speaking and personality. If you do definitely see this series, it's just a bigger and longer version of that and it's brilliant.
I’ve tried to get into The Office US in the past. I never really got why people loved that show so much. Still really don’t. However, this was some really funny stuff. To me The Office US is basically just another NBC sitcom. This series really nails the mockumentary style. It works so well because all of the characters don’t feel like exaggerated caricatures. The show is also extremely cringe-inducing, but in the best way possible. By the end of many episodes I was in tears. The Christmas Special was also really great, it worked so perfectly as a bookend to the series. Definitely worth checking out.
