I'm watching it and had posted in one of the TV threads. I think Gordon-Leavitt is a rather brilliant guy and I'm curious to see where he goes with his creation. The way his panic attack was depicted with the disturbance in the sky was well done. I feel his character and the supporting cast will be revealed in more real, more heartful and humanly weird ways as the series progresses. I love seeing Debra Winger in the show, and because she's picky about parts and chose this one means--I hope at least--she believes in her character and the overall story.
I knew it! I've been a fan of Debra Winger and her husband Arliss Howard for a long time, and had a hunch the guy playing Ruth Corman's boyfriend Larry in episode 3 might be Howard. There was something familiar about his smile. Haven't seen Howard in anything for a few years, and he does look a bit different. Sure enough though, a couple of sites confirmed it's an uncredited appearance. I don't read msn normally but it's one of the few sites this bit of trivia came up.
"This argument is all spawned by Josh’s confusion and surprise at finding a strange man named Larry (an uncredited Arliss Howard, AKA Mr. Debra Winger) in his mother’s house, only to learn that this is his mother’s boyfriend, and they've been together for a year."

'Mr. Corman' 1.03 Review: Happy Birthday
If the first two episodes of Mr. Corman raised the concerning question of why exactly this story is a TV series as opposed to a movie, then “Happy Birthday” only raises that question a bit louder.
Same here, I watched three episodes and I am still note sure what to make out od this series. Found it quite boring too, even if the acting is good.
That is the first AppleTV+ series I do not like.

Yes, that odd part of episode 3 made me squirm, so just fast forwarded through it. I think it was an experimental way to reflect his mind's state, but there's a reason I don't want to watch Schmigadoon. I'll pick up again with episode 4 and try to stay with it.

This show is filling a void left behind by Atlanta. If you can relate, you will like this show. Especially up to episode 5.

Aw man, I'm gutted it wasn't renewed. I had a bit of a mental wobbly myself a few years ago and I'm not far off the age of JGL so it was quite relatable. I loved the surreal elements I think its the kind of show that would have fared better on Channel 4 or BBC2 over here in the UK.

It's a wierd show, for real. I watched the whole season and I'm not even sure if I liked it or not. The episode centered around Victor was pretty good. I also liked the episode where they go out clubbing with the Influencer dude. The fight scene was really interesting. And the scenes where he's dating Emily were really good too.
But then there are whole episodes where nothing really happens.
Overall, I'm not sure if I would have watched a Season 2. But I do want some closure as well. Oh well.
