JVDB is smoking hot, and his gay assistant is a riot. The homoerotic undertones are hilarious, as is Ms. Ritter.

Yep, love this show! I think it needs to be on FX or something. The type of humor is not the "Modern Family" type middle American humor to be a ratings success on a broadcast network.
But the show is hilarious. The cast does a great job and the writing never goes where you expect it to go.

My favorite scenes so far are Chloe calling up her married lovers at home on Thanksgiving just to mess with them and June saying that James gave her "blue tubes"

Being a Breaking Bad fan, I only started watching because of Ritter, expecting to hate almost everything else. I was wrong and now I love it. Chloe taking over People magazine should be enough to get Ritter an Emmy nom.
Sad that it will probably be canceled.

I also loved the show where Chloe got a foster child because she needed an assistant and didn't want to pay for one. She's a diabolical genius.
I hope it doesn't get canceled. That would be very upsetting.

Despite being a horrible stereotype Luther still makes me laugh. Soo glad they made him a regular instead of the weird asian neighbor.
The other weird neighbor doesn't work. I don't know why they keep him. At least they don't give him much to do.

Yes, another one here that loves the B.
The People magazine takeover was hilarious. Yes, all are right that it's way too edgy to be a success on network television.
When ABC inevitably cancels it, hopefully FX is waiting in the wings to pick it up. This type of humor is right up their alley.
Ritter is very talented and perfectly cast.

I usually don't care for gay stereotypes but I too find Luther to be hilarious. It's really a well written show--a rarity these days. I think they initially planned on the blonde being the main focus; but Chloe makes the show IMO & she has great comedic timing. Love that bitch! It will probably be cancelled soon unfortunately because most tv watchers are mouth breathers & probably don't get it.

When I watched the first episode, I couldn't believe how far they were taking things, it was very graphic dialogue and themes and has continued to be pretty risque, but that's one of the reasons why I love it. I couldn't believe ABC didn't try to censor some of the dialogue. The whole cast is great, I loved Ritter on Breaking Bad and that's why I wanted to see this show, she's really good as is James Van Der Beek, someone I never paid any attention to before - the whole cast is good, even the coffee shop guy, IMO.

Guess I am the only hater here. I saw one episode. Where, in order to alleviate household chores, the bitchy one signs up for a foster kid.
I know comedy is a world of strained reality, but why didn't she just buy a genie and make a wish? Because that is about as realistic as taking in a foster kid.
And then... the foster kid was working so hard to be her assistant! Because I suppose the writers thought the way to make an unrealistic premise funny is to heap an unrealistic attitude and consequence on top of it.
Also, these girls are minimally employed but seem to have time for a daily blowout.
Also, the bitch isn't a bitch. she's an asshole. Assholes are selfish and do damage to others around them; bitches degrade the social standing of others around them in an effort to be top dog. Big difference.

R30. I don't care if sitcoms are realistic, they're usually funnier when they're not (with the exception of Curb Your Enthusiasm). But I have to disagree with you about that episode being unrealistic. Chloe is a brilliant con artist who I'm sure would have no problem getting a foster kid in just a few days. That's also the reason Chloe has a lot of money.
As for the asshole/bitch distinction, you may be right but Don't Trust the A in Apt 23 doesn't rhyme so clearly that couldn't be the title. Come on you're being ridiculous :-p

They filmed 13 episodes last year, but only aired 7. So now this season they're sprinkling in some of the leftovers, which is why there are weird continuity issues and the neighbor characters disappear and then reappear randomly. I really liked the show last season and I've liked all the episodes produced for the second season, but the ones held over from last year aren't that funny and I can see why the network chose not to use them last year during the show's shortened run.
Also, for what it's worth, I know someone who met Krysten Ritter last year and said she was really sweet.

I think these eps have been good, it is just jarring because it is clearly out of order so they a different energy than what we came to expect from the actual second season episodes. The dynamic between the characters isn't as established
Still, think they have been hilarious. This show is so well written it is amazing and the cast (especially Ritter) just makes it work. Going to be a tremendous lost to lose this show. More so than Happy Endings as this show has a more unique voice.

Krysten Ritter is quite unattractive, she has good hair, it's healthy and thick, that's about it. Her nose is awful, it looks like a bad nose job, she has a horrible profile.
At a former job, I used to assist the Fashion Editor booking models. I do not remember Krysten Ritter at all. If she was with any of the top modeling agencies I dealt with at the time, Ford, ID, Wilhelmina etc, I sure do not remember her.
She might have modeled for a very brief period before she started getting steady acting work, she's sure not a model I remember seeing in top print ads, such as Famke Janssen and other actresses who had steady print and runway work during their modeling days. Famke was on a lot of top magazine covers.
