That's what I just completed, including the S2 premiere. The show and the Valerie Cherish character ended up growing on me quite a bit as the series progressed. Totally self-obsessed aging b-list narcissistic vapid attention-junkie who lives in a fantasy world where she believes people actually care about her. I'm glad that it's coming back to life after almost a decade. America's love of celebrity and reality TV shows certainly hasn't diminished.

The Comeback... is coming back. Season 3 was just announced for 2026. S2 was a disappointment for me, so I'm not looking forward to it.

Wow, that is a long ass hiatus before a return. I hated the few episodes I saw, but it's gotten some cult status since in the ensuing years. Maybe I'll revisit.

Will watch almost entirely based off the first season. Didn’t hate the 2nd but it left no impression at all.

I could never get over Kudrow's choice of voice for Valerie. It was just so grating to me. I can't enjoy the show if I can't stand listening to the main character talk. Same problem with Sandler in "Little Nicky."

Great trailer! Can't wait. Need to rewatch the first two seasons.

Re: The Comeback (HBO) - Series Thread - starring Lisa Kudrow

Can't wait either! its definitely an acquired taste but you gotta love Kudrow for how consistently she brings it. Of all the 'FRIENDS' gang she was never the one I figured would have the longest career but who is still standing now.

I wonder if we will get any cameos from the younger crew she was with on her pretend sitcom as Aunt Sassy. Sadly I think the actor who played the gay hairdresser character Mickey passed away. Still fun to see her husband and 'Jane' so many years later!

This is exactly the kind of show we probably won't see again with HBO under new ownership. I don't care how much they swear they want to keep everything the same--Ive lived long enough to know its all bullshit and they will eventually shut things down and sell off what they can in the name of shareholder value.

Re: The Comeback (HBO) - Series Thread - starring Lisa Kudrow

Had never watched this, but watched the first 2 seasons over the last couple of weeks, it's fine I'd rank it 6/10.

the finale of Series 2 was pretty good, loved Luna's party.

Ready to dive into Series 3 this week

It gets better with each season. I thought 3 was pretty good.
