Steven
Brody Stevens is a former baseball player now turned stand-up comic. His
comedic style is in your face and brash, like the bipolar disorder he refuses
to accept. After a very public meltdown, he tries to put his life and career
back on track, with some assistance from his best friend, comedian Zach
Galifianakis.
With
the mixture of comedy and drama in this one season TV show, it is sometimes
hard to tell if the people involved are serious or not. But, in the end, it
felt very real. There were some funny moments, and some very human and touching
aspects to it also. The first few episodes might be off-putting and
disconcerting, but it is well worth toughing it out for the whole 12 episodes. This
show gives a very interesting look at how mental illness can affect one’s life
and how having a good entourage can help you a lot.
