Yes, this rips off “The Larry Sanders Show” and to some extent “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” and it’s not nearly as good as either of those. But it has a certain crass, infuriating charm.
**** it natural to want to route against a guy worth millions and who then stars in his own tv show? Sure it is. But once you get past the desire to see an already successful guy publicly fail, there is a very, very funny show here. Donny is surrounded my women who call him on his BS and at least 75% of the scenes make fun of him in a way that made me laugh both at him and with him. This supporting cast of women is absolutely hilarious (his new assistant and producer are standouts) and the show has a really fresh point of view. It is ironic without being cynical and the comedy is broad without being dumb. My favorite underdog show of the year!
I am not sure what these reviewers are looking for. Do they think they where going to get something intellectual or informative? It is just a funny, slightly crude, decently acted comedy with a whole lot of laugh out loud moments.
Maybe it's because I watched with low expectations, but I found it funny and look forward to future episodes.
ProGamer7 claims he watched the season, but there had only been one episode when the review was written.
It's just funny .. don't look for too much folks ... it's just funny.
There's little in Donny! that's surprising or unpredictable but as "soft-scripted" comedies go, it has the occasional funny moment. But mostly it's just another comedy with a cringeworthy Dumb Daddy (Donny Deutsch) lead character that's easily skippable.
Deutsch doesn't really have chemistry with anybody, so it isn't surprising that the scenes in Donny! that come closest to funny are the ones in which he's completely absent.
There’s some shaving that needs to be done here, all right. But if USA tried to pare Donny! down to its worthwhile bits--the few that could inspire any sort of enthusiasm--most could pretty easily fit inside a 30-second spot.
This show has A very limited,repetitive formula to **** far as the character goes,I like Donny Deutsche and He comes off as believable an d real to Me.However,the same old archetype of An older egotistical television
obsessed with himself and Women gets tiresome when essentially that's the premise every single episode.Ronny's assistance (four younger Women by the way) is what truly makes the show worth watching in my opinion.Their counterpoints to his misguided crusades and the results of them is what makes the show truly funny.I would love for the show to focus A few episodes on just one of them or maybe focus one Ronny's Russian **** other words,the supporting cast is what makes Ronny funny as A catalyst to all of Ronny's shenanigans.Ronny himself is interesting and funny,but his story lines are just A cookie cutter ****-Ronny does or says something offensive on his show or in social media,two-some is offended,three-he gets lectured by his assistance,four-He attempts to apologize or make amends,five-no one really believes him and six he is ashamed and rinse and repeat for 3/4 of all the episodes.
This show is entertaining and quite funny at times,but the reason for the modest score is that so many of the episodes are alike interchangeable that there's just not enough uniqueness after the third episode.I hope Season two will explore some different possibilities like perhaps him temporarily moving his show in the show to Hollywood or having it cancelled and he shops around for A new network and hi-jinks **** bottom line is that there needs to be better writing and more diverse story lines and characters for this show to continue any further.
Just looking at that image makes me want to hurl. See this dude on Morning Joe every now and then - self-aggrandizing, etc. etc. His show? Come on USA. You've done so much better. Mr. Robot, Suits, Burn Notice. Now Donny? ugh
Strangely enough, I find this series sexually arousing in a very intimate way. Can't say im going to watch this anymore due to its aphrodisiac-like affect on me.
Losing brain cells and being aroused by something like this is downright dumb. I ended up with my **** in a tree.
I may have seen a worse show in my 74 years but if so, it must have been before my conscious memory. This show is embarrassingly unfunny not to mention boring.

Translation: I have lost my sanity and all knowledge of the English dictionary and grammar after having watched this season. None should watch this unless they want to literally loose mental stability and all knowledge. Please don't watch this. 0/10
