Did anyone watch this show? I just sort of discovered it. How was it received when it was on?

Loved the first season. The show is so under the radar, but that is no reflection on the overall quality. Laurie Metcalf can do no wrong. She has a new network television show, but Getting On was renewed for a second season of six episodes that begin airing in November. Updated On: 10/4/14 at 09:15 PM

I loved the first season. Metcalf, Nash, and Borstein were all superb.

"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe." -John Guare, Landscape of the Body

I need to get on this one. Before I do, any opinions on the British original vs. the HBO adaptation?

What a great block of TV. I cannot wait for The Comeback and really really loved Getting On.

Watched the premiere episode of the new season this morning. Metcalf's scene in the bathroom was comedic gold. And yes, Borstein was fantastic as well. So happy to have this gem of a show back.

^^^^ I agree and want to add that this is an excellent partner to THE COMEBACK. Both deliver very dry comedy, dry to the point it's often more painful than amusing.

But if you like that sort of thing--and I do--GETTING ON and COMEBACK are masterful examples.

(The above being said, it strikes me that GETTING ON includes scenes of total absurdity--the bathroom scene mentioned above and the "runaway bed" scene--that THE COMEBACK eschews. This may make GETTING ON palatable to viewers who find COMEBACK too much to take.)
