Hulu's bold new comedy 'Difficult People' is hilariously tough going
From the "I wanna be a star" high jinks of "I Love Lucy" to the micro self-absorption of "Seinfeld," narcissism has always been a key ingredient in comedy. In recent years, however, self-centeredness has become not just predictable, but synonymous with adorable — the internal myopia of lead characters regularly passed off as quirky, or cavalier or even admirable.
We find ourselves rooting for even "Veep's" Selina Meyer despite the fact that she is, as one character correctly pointed out this past season, "the worst thing to happen to this country since food in buckets."
