SEASON 1
Great show; very well written, acted and filmed. Based on a novel I haven't read so I can't comment on how it's adapted but if you enjoy adult dramedy with dry wit then you'll probably enjoy this.

SEASON 1
Hulu’s Fleishman Is in Trouble is funny, sad and relatable. If it isn’t surprising on top of that, it hardly matters because the ensemble is so superb. ... This is a series about understanding instead of indicting in a way that’s poignant and probing at once.
Boasting a strong, committed central trio, this is a compelling, confronting examination of getting older, and of life’s big choices. An excellent, faithful adaptation by first-time screenwriter Taffy Brodesser-Akner.
For fans of the novel who were concerned that its spark would get lost in translation, worry not: Fleishman Is in Trouble is in no trouble at all.
Not funny enough to be standalone satire and with a lead so self-involved he restricts a stronger emotional connection, “Fleishman Is in Trouble” ultimately only works as a thought exercise. Thankfully, there is a lot to think about — if you’re willing to give the time.
In its themes, it resonates: The sense that even the choices one retrospectively would do over are ones that have limited future options is an essential part of the human condition. ... The challenge “Fleishman” sets for itself, and one it finally cannot overcome, is that one never believes that its two leads would have been married in the first place.
Good series about the impact midlife crisis has on people. The acting is very convincing, and the writing keeps you hooked all the time. The voice-over can be too much at times, but it doesn't drive you away. In the end, 'Fleishman Is in Trouble' will make you rethink your role as husband/wife, father/mother, friend, and professional.

SEASON 1
I don't really know if the show is in fact a satire. It shows the "problems" that some mid to high class jews had to suffer, which, you can imagine, most people would like to have.

SEASON 1
Two episodes in here. It's just fine light entertainment. The comedy is gentle and fine, the premise is an intriguing approach to familiar themes.
Downsides include the voiceover, which always bugs me unless done very well. Here, it adds almost nothing and tells rather than shows.
The acting is a bit mixed in quality. Claire Danes is obviously perfect, Lizzy Caplan is good, but I'm a bit iffy on Eisenberg. He does approach the role without ego, but for me he's just not quite good enough at portraying the subtleties and nuances that his role requires.

SEASON 1
What a trite subject carried out by unfunny actors and a production not really worthy of much. Our overall view is "Not worth watching in spite of Critics reviews."
