Bored to Death best pulp detective comedy on TV
I want to bring attention to “Bored to Death”, a show after my own heart. This HBO sitcom features Jason Schwartzman who I loved in Wes Anderson movies. The concept is very good. The characters have a lot of development potential. Good acting from Zach Galifianakis, Ted Danson, Oliver Platt and many others.\
I wouldn’t say that it is a great show yet although there have been outstanding episodes. The writing is key to the show and that seems to be the aspect that affects the quality of individual episodes. In this respect it has been uneven. The pilot episode was terrific however there is, as of yet, no strong story arc to meld all the episodes together.
Another word about the acting, Ted Danson and the others put a lot of nuance to their characters. I wouldn’t recommend this show to everyone but it has promise and I have enjoyed most episodes.
