Gretchen and Jimmy's story, which acquires surprising emotional weight as the season progresses, is highly addictive on its own merits. Read full review

One of the reasons that You’re the Worst works so well is that we buy this relationship instantly. Geere and Cash have chemistry. Read full review

The show grows ever more confident each week. As Jimmy and Gretchen grapple with their relationship, their conflicts seem authentic and not contrived. Read full review

We know the end point for these two; they’re made for each other. But the writing makes the bumpy journey nonetheless entertaining. Read full review

Cash and Geere make the most out of every cutting line and look. But too often, the show mistakes being unpleasant for being amusing. Read full review

Jul 17, 2014

The notion of two superficial, emotionally stunted human beings struggling with the realization that they still have feelings is by far the most interesting premise of these four shows. But Cash is significantly more appealing than Geere (in fairness, her character is a bit less horrible than his), and the overall execution falls short of the idea.... This one, at least, has the potential to be something more than it is at the moment. Read full review

Cash and Geere are two talented performers selling this mess as best they can, but mostly the show suffocates under its own feeling of brashness. Read full review

This show definitely meets my sense of humour, and that doesn't happen very often. In my eyes it is the best discovery since "New Girl" and if this show can not make it, both leads (with their characters) should join the cast of "New Girl".

In my eyes it is the best discovery since "New Girl" and if this show can not make it, both leads (with their characters) should join the cast of "New Girl". Chris Geere's character as a love interest for Zooey Deschanels Jess - that would be fun. Anyway, I hope "You're the Worst" gets more seasons.… Expand

It's only vulgar to prudes and is only stupid to people who "just don't get it" who would probably be better off watching Little House on the Prairie or the gods forbid Big Bang Theory. *gag*

The best romantic show on TV right now. The show captures the lifestyle and feelings of the age group. My husband and I really love this show and relate to it and the characters very well. We really relate to the emotions and story lines and have found it to be extensively hilarious. It's only vulgar to prudes and is only stupid to people who "just don't get it."… Expand

I have saved every episode of this show and have watched each at least three times. The quality of the main characters and supporting cast all the way down is just terrific. Well written and unique. I hope that You're The Worst is around for a long time.

Horrible characters you can’t help but love. Think a darker, far more narcissistic Seinfeld if you will. Somehow, you end up rooting for them all, no matter how terrible. Funny. And some of the best portrayals of mental illness (depression / PTSD) that I’ve ever seen.

What if Jerry and Elaine were revolting sex addicts?

I couldn't make it through the first episode. Is this supposed to be a daring new comedy because some misfit jack-ass wanks himself under the blankets every five minutes? That Aya Cash even allows this creep to get near her is disconcerting enough. By signing on to this stinker, she has instantly typecast herself as a vulgar, sorry slag. If the jokes and off-the-cuff commentary could match their crass behaviour it might be marginally worth watching. Sorry, the Ferris Bueller pop-culture reference was dim and out-dated. Is this the best anecdotal humour they can muster to sweeten the crude and callous stench of this irredeemable muck? This could start a cable race for the lewdest common denominator.… Expand
