Difficult People: 10 TV 'Reviews'

difficult-people-mad-men

Julie refuses to go back and finish the four-time Emmy winner for Outstanding Drama Series even though people tell her it gets "less boring."

difficult-people-the-tonight-show

Julie blames Jimmy Fallon for turning NBC's late-night program into "a five-year-old's birthday party" with games like "Pin the Tail on the Donkey with Pussy Riot." 

difficult-people-scandal

When a muscle in his shoulder starts acting up, Billy is convinced he's "falling apart" and "wasn't even that good to begin with. Like Scandal."

difficult-people-how-to-get-away-with-murder

Method Man credits the Shonda Rhimes soap with proving that there "are limits to what even Viola Davis can make plausible."

difficult-people-bill-lawrence

Julie says asking her about her least favorite birthday is like asking "which Bill Lawrence show do I find the most contrived — it's a tie for last."

difficult-people-chelsea-handler

Billy, who views Handler as a comedian who has been "so drunk for the last five years that [she] hasn't written a joke," can't determine which of the following he'd rather see less: Another one of her topless social media posts, or her Netflix talk show.

difficult-people-ray-donovan

Billy and Julie are shocked that online publication Buzzlist (heh!) can come up with a post detailing six exciting things happening on Showtime (where Ray Donovan recently got a new hat!) 

difficult-people-the-affair

Julie doesn't understand how this particular Showtime series can be "so well written, yet so incredibly boring at the same time." Billy, on the other hand, claims it would fill all eight slots on a hypothetical list of shows he'll never watch.

difficult-people-entourage

Billy is amazed that adult film star Sasha Grey ever agreed to "go from doing porn to something as degrading as Entourage."

difficult-people-ahs-hotel

Billy and Julie question whether Season 5 of the FX anthology had a writers' room. The franchise's most recent chapter also gets blamed for ruining "Matt Bomer's ass and Lady Gaga" for gay people, and giving its entire cast PTSD.
