Anyone else watching this? I’m very late to the game but I think it’s a fine show. As much as I want to hate Leaf I can’t. Reminds me of my college roommate.

It’s so good, I tell people about it but I can’t get anybody to watch it.

I’m a big standup fan so I love it as a behind the scenes type of show. It’s lighthearted but not too cheesy

Love it.

For some reason, Pete Holmes makes 5's look good.

I like it a lot. It's even improved along the way.

Marc Maron and his guests on WTF often tell stories about trying to get a spot in a club, being on the road, staying in the comic condos, jealousy among comics, college gigs, etc. Crashing seems to be very consistent with the way they describe the life.

The actress Jamie Lee is great as Ali. I love it when she is part of the story line.

Great show and it keeps getting better. I love how they are great at bringing in cameos and weaving them into a coherent storyline.

Saw a random episode and thought it was funny, so went back and binged it up to the latest episode. It's a good show.

I’ve only seen a few random episodes but everyone has been really good. I need to go and binge it from the start

Solid for sure.


The Artie Lange stuff is great. Funny, but also a surprisingly sobering look at addicts and addiction.


Definitely shows the behind the scenes hustle these comics and really anyone in the entertainment industry have to suffer through with minuscule chances of making it.

The most recent episode with Jason melting down about how times have changed was pretty damn sad, but in a funny way. “TWENTY TWO YEARS!!!”


The Sarah Silverman episode was really good. I liked how getting to do warm up for Rachel Ray was like hitting the lotto for him


And yeah, Ali does it for me

Ali definitely does it for me, too. She’s fantastic.

Wife and I started watching it a couple weeks ago and are nearly done S2. Really enjoying it so far. Like has been said, it's a good lighthearted, funny watch and the comedian cameos are well done.

The synagogue episode from this season might be the best, very funny

Yes, that was a fantastic episode.

Loved the bit about Christianity/Judaism and Lord of the Rings

I didn't realize it was back on. I watched all of the episodes form season 3 last night. I love this show.

Not sure where they're going with it yet, but my ex is a narcissist, and this Kat plot line is triggering me pretty bad.

It's a great show if you're a fan of standup. I could see why some people wouldn't like it.

The episode where he stayed at the girls apartment after they hooked up still makes me cringe

Great show but I don't know anyone who watches it. Pete is so cringey at times, but so sincere. And I'm a fan of anything that keeps Artie off drugs for a few hours.

I love this show but have never been able to get anyone else to watch. I really cringe at the scenes that highlight Pete’s total lack of social awareness. And when he called his ex-wife a “Leif blower”? Hahaha!
