Tartalmak(1)
14 évvel az Egy makulátlan elme örök ragyogása című film után újra összeáll Jim Carrey és Michel Gondry rendező. A sorozatukban Carrey egy Jeff nevű színészt alakít, aki egy népszerű gyermekműsor házigazdája. Ő Mr. Pickles, a gyermekek kedvence, a kedvesség és a bölcsesség mintaképe, a multimilliomos médiamogul. Amikor azonban ennek a szeretett személyiségnek a családja – feleség, két fiú, nővér és apa – a szétesés szélére jut, kénytelen szembesülni azzal, ki is ő valójában. (HBO Europe)

Most nevess! (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)
I approached the second season of Kidding with some caution, especially with the discussions about whether Jim Carrey was essentially telling his own life story through the show. After finishing it, I don't think that's the case. It feels more like he found an interesting platform where he could express some of his personal thoughts and ideas—thoughts he’s probably kept to himself after years of being misunderstood, choosing instead to retreat into solitude and focus on creating rather than acting. About halfway through, I thought this season might be weaker than the first, but the final three episodes completely changed my mind. Especially the finale—it was easily the best part of the entire season and makes the journey worth sticking with. If this is how the series ends, it would be one of the most beautiful conclusions to a show I’ve ever seen. Thanks, Jim. Some of your reflections on happiness and what it truly means still linger with me.
