Big Time in Hollywood, FL works best because it takes a preposterous comic situation and turns it into a preposterous dramatic arc, which frees the show from any sitcom restraints and allows it to spoof both tired dramas and predictable comedies.

I have to applaud Anfanger and Schmipf for taking what could have been another dull retread of slacker comedy tropes and launching it into unexpected territory. Big Time has my attention now.

Deceptively loose and shambling, Big Time is one of those shows - like the show it follows, Workaholics - that's going to quickly attract a cult following. Get in on it now.

Just think of it as something Stiller recently did in his spare time (say between breakfast and lunch).

Comedy about mooching brothers has violence, language.

The 10-episode order isn't exactly highbrow, but contains enough laugh-out-loud moments to indeed put co-creators Alex Anfanger and Dan Schimpf well on their way to the big time.

Either I've lost my marbles or "Big Time in Hollywood, FL" is a work of near-genius.

Smart writing and tight performances deliver the story of two anti-heroes who are comedy's answer to Walter White. Their actions are hard to watch, but they're done so convincingly (and hilariously) that you can't turn away.

The boys' stupidity and Jack's sociopathic selfishness grow tiresome.

All with a kind of self-conscious irony that makes Big Time in Hollywood, FL so meta, it's practically post-meta and generally more interesting to think about than watch.
