Good to see Jim Carrey in a series and he does a fantastic job with his character.
Weird, sad and funny.

I was too, but after watching the first episode - I like it. I find Jim's character truly heartbreaking.

I predict it will fail. Kind of like ... wait for it ... socialism.

If it fails- then it fails, just like a lot of other series have ...
but it doesn't sound like it so far: "Jim Carrey's 'Kidding' Renewed for Season 2 at Showtime
The comedy has been pulling 2.3 million viewers across platforms. Jim Carrey is staying put at Showtime.
The cable network announced Wednesday that his freshman comedy, Kidding, has been renewed for a second season.
The series, which doubles as the actor and comedian's return to TV after a nearly three-decade absence, premiered in September to a strong critical reception and is thus far grossing 2.3 million weekly viewers across the network's various linear and digital platforms."

Episode 1 was so rough but I stuck with it...the shortened format makes the pacing unique and by Ep 3 I was hooked. Easy to binge. Nothing spectacular, a bit of a dig at a pretty pure art form (hence the darkness of the comedy), but all in all worth a watch. I'm glad I did.
