Sinopsis(1)
Jeff, aka Mr. Pickles, an icon of children's television, a beacon of kindness and wisdom to America's impressionable young minds and the parents who grew up with him - who also anchors a multimillion-dollar branding empire.But when this beloved personality's family - wife, two sons, sister and father - begins to implode, Jeff finds no fairy tale or fable or puppet will guide him through the crisis, which advances faster than his means to cope. The result: a kind man in a cruel world faces a slow leak of sanity as hilarious as it is heartbreaking. (Showtime)
(más)Reseña del usuario Malarkey de esta serie (2)
Kidding (2018)
There are several reasons why a viewer and a film (or in this case TV show) connoisseur should see this show. One of those reasons is the creator Michel Gondry, and another one is the lead role, which is portrayed by Jim Carrey who seems to be enjoying it. If you follow movies, TV shows and Hollywood in general at least a bit, you will know that Michel Gondry is crazy about efficiency and the anti-Hollywood absurdistan. Well and Jim Carrey? He’s an actor that pervades my entire life, so watching him in anything doesn’t require any justification on my part. But the result was a bit inconsistent. If you know Michel Gondry’s work, you can count on the fact that it will be no different in this case. On the other hand, Jim Carrey portrays himself to some extent and I can’t make up my mind as to to what extent he is doint that. The thing is that his character is very sad and at times so depressed that the depression spreads into your consciousness. But this might be why I find the TV show so interesting. Jim and depressions? You say that these things don’t work together? Then give this a try.

Season 2 (2020) (S02)
In the second season of Kidding, I was getting ready for a good laugh after the first season rather cautiously. After all, there were discussions about whether Jim Carrey somewhat filmed his life story with this series. But after the second series, I can say that I don't think so. I rather think that he realized an interesting theme, where he had the opportunity to express a few of his thoughts and opinions, which led him to seclude himself in solitude in the past due to misunderstanding, where he has been creating more than he has been realized in the film world in recent years. And in the end, I have to say that although I sometimes thought in the middle of the series that this season would be weaker, the last three episodes convinced me otherwise. Especially the last episode, which was clearly the best thing this series had to offer, and definitely worth enduring the series until the end because of it. This is how it should remain, this is how it should end. So I hope it turns out that way too. If so, it will be one of the most beautiful series finales I have ever seen. Thanks Jim, some of your views on the essence of happiness resonate in my mind.
