Comedians Billy Eichner and Julie Klausner make being a terrible person appear a lot less terrible. In their Hulu comedy Difficult People, they’re able to convince others that their questionable moral decisions are the only course of action. Obviously, pretending that you just came out is the best way to get the attention of the hottest guy in the gay bar. And when given the choice between coffee and day wine, day wine is the only way to go.
But in the end, this show is about Eichner and Klausner, and this season they carry themselves with a confidence that says they know they’re stars and don’t need anyone else’s opinion about it. It’s that disregard for others’ approval (and the freedom Hulu offers that a prime-time network might not) that makes Difficult People one of the most original and entertaining comedies out there.
