Recently found this show and I've devoured both seasons in a weekend.
Love it, really good fun and some memorable characters and lines.

Dry replies from Gilfoyle are my absolute favourites

'Synergy bitches! Do you know what that means?'
'Does it mean taking a big pile of cash and burning it?'

Yeah very good follow up season. Dealt as well as it could with the death of the actor who played Peter Gregory, and as well as being funny it actually makes me care about what happens to Pied Piper and Richard. I was on the edge of my seat waiting to see whether they had deleted everything before Richard got home. Like has been said, Russ Hanneman had some great lines and moments. Hard to do a character who is enjoyable and so unlikeable.

Martin Starr great as Gilfoyle of course.

I thought the lawyer was really good too. Guy had a great voice and did a good job of being hilariously disgraced while also commanding respect.

Oh and Jian-Yang could do anything and I'd find it hilarious.

Great to see its fanclub expanding on here....the quotes have prompted me to watch season 2 again....very, very funny show

peachybum · « **Reply #43 on:** June 22, 2015, 06:34:12 pm »

Probably my favourite comedy at the moment. With season 2 even better than 1 for me.

Gilfoyle is great. Best part of season 2 imo was the Let Blaine Die SWOT board.

Yep. Love this show. Gilfoyle and Dinesh are a great tandem and Erlich is good for at least one classic quote an episode. Thought they got a much better handle on the character of Big Head this year which should be good for Season 3. Can't wait for this to come back.

litliper · « **Reply #46 on:** June 22, 2015, 10:07:30 pm »

Just finished season 1. I absolutely adore it. It's the funniest thing on TV since 30 Rock was in its prime. Happy to have all of season 2 left to enjoy.

Missing it already. These new comedy-shows on HBO are no match to Mike Judge's writing.

Sans Beavis and Butthead, Mike Judge is just a factory of superb comedy. Always a bit under the radar, sublime, funny, smart, consistent.

I'll tell you what mate, when B&B first came out, I thought I was going to die laughing. That fucking Cornholio episode

It was a special kind of stupid, and it wasn't the sort of thing that can last forever, like "South Park" can, but in its day it was well and truly hilarious. I know it's not a popular opinion, but I'd watch B&B any day over "Office Space," which I didn't care for at all.

Yeah, I was too young when B&B first came out and going back to watch some when I was older I wasn't too into it. Can see how it was probably pretty funny and ridiculous when it came out. Have you seen Extract? Really like that movie, feel like it stayed well under the radar.

It feels like I have seen it, but I can't remember it - I'll give it another look.

I saw the first series as a Sky boxset and then they never showed series 2, which was weird. I will catch up with it online if I ever remember.

Elrich is such a bonus character. Didn't like him at the start but I just can't imagine this show without him.
