This show has a unique sense of humor and wicked promise. This just goes to show the great variety on Adult Swim as a whole. Can't understand why it would be rated so low, but then again Tim and Eric's "Beef House" (in the same half hour time slot on Sunday nights) has a similar rating. Maybe people just don't get it but if you don't dig on these, maybe Adult Swim isn't your kind of party.
Adult Swim's live action shows have a record of being very hit-or-miss. Luckily this show is just silly enough to give me a good laugh at least once an episode, without me being too embarrassed to admit I'm watching it. And all the Debras are fantastic!

Maybe tone it down on the lol random humor. You can tell the 3 main leads are funny but you don't really get to see it with all the gags constantly happening.

The debra actors are absolutely hilarious, so I have a strong feeling the show will catch up to the quality of their other work. I think it would be a lot funnier if they leaned more into the dark humor and not the random stuff!

Honig, Stonoha & Jouhari's daft Debras is a massively strong concept - sharply stabbing at vain domesticity, societal norms and feminine tropes through the cunning guise of extreme foolishness. It flew so far under the radar I'm amazed it even got a second series, or that I even saw it in the first place, but I'll be forever glad that I did. Honig is particularly good at a form of bent-leg hunched gurning behaviour that I find extremely favourable. I hope that one day this steaming slice of bizarre honking and strange thrashing about gains the strong cult status that it truly deserves. Lemoncurd may be gone, but from the smoking ruins three iconic silhouettes emerge...

Being random and quirky does not make you funny. Please end this trainwreck adultswim

This show is funny. The three Debras are great at playing off of each other, I love that they always put in little jabs at one another whenever they get the chance. It builds character without ever taking a break from the humor, so you get to know a little about what the Debras are. The world they inhabit is just as wacked out as they are, giving the whole setting an anything goes vibe. Sometimes the jokes that are made seem a little obvious, but that's the worst I can say for this show.

Just something silly to watch. You get a few laughs but also the episodes are short so it's not a waste of time.
Subjective but I just did not find any of it funny. It just feels forced. Sleepover episode had a decent premise but it never even got a smirk out of me.
Three Busy Debras makes fun of those "Stepford Wives"-y type film settings. Everything is cartoonish and absurd, but I didn't find it "random" like a lot of people say. It is a bit of pointed satire. I'd wager whatever shows most people are watching are also stupid and random time wasters like Family Guy or Robot Chicken.

Not gonna lie I was skeptical of watching just judging the commercials but I was kinda surprised I liked it. Its just like the other live as shows because of its randomness and weird plots. Overall fun show.

Absolute garbage. I have an offbeat sense of humour and like the bizarre. I usually can find a little bit of good in just about everything. BUT this!!!...it is so bad I had to stop watching after 10 minutes and I cannot remember ever shutting down before an ending. I usually give everything a fair try.
10 mins of the most annoying, cringe-worthy garbage I could ever wish for. And no, this is not based solely from a male perspective. I love funny women in TV & Film. This writing simply sucks. You couldn't pay me to watch this. Seriously.

I haven't seen the original live show but this is pretty decent. It feels like a well done Youtube video though. I enjoyed this but I can't see it holding up over an entire season.

Some of The Three Debras' creative and inspirational, yet sinister and challenging stage-improv is absolutely fabulous. Imagine my dismay, then, to be confronted with this sterilised, insipid and asinine blancmange.
No doubt it was network neutered, but sans spice, it is simply bland, humourless gruel delivered by charming clones with rictus smiles.

I'll admit I wasn't immediately sold on the show. Interested? Very. The commercials can never do this show justice- once this humor is put in the context of the incongruous Lemoncurd, everything falls into place. Each Debra brings their own weird flair to the situation and they'll always keep you guessing. The bright coloring and music adds to the absurdity and often dark humor and it works so well. It's clear that the Debra's have been working on this show for a while and it pays off- since it's such a short show, no time is wasted and I really appreciate that.
Of course, not everything works in this show. There can be dull moments, or to me, really messy episodes that don't work for me overall. However, there's enough humor and ridiculousness to keep me entertained. I highly recommend giving this show a chance, it's one of the best new shows on Adult Swim. It's really silly fun and I promise if you don't take it that seriously, you can get in on the fun too.

Decent show decent jokes, exactly what i expect from adult swim. As male the show is very understandable and still funny to watch sometimes, however jokes can be forced sometimes. Most of the low reviews are Im sure from men who don't take women seriously, and lets this show be another reason to fuel their hate.

What dis I just watched!!! This is so bad and terrible , One of the worst and most stupid thing I had ever watched!!! Don´t wast any of your time on this . Totally Garbage
I have watched the ENTIRE first season and I'm caught up on the latest episode as of now... but I'm still not sure if I truly like this or not. I will admit, it's different. Give it a shot, I guess. They're just three busy Debras doing Debra things, kinda reminds me of Tim And Eric or The Heart She Holler.
What in the what is this??? Perhaps one of the worst things I have ever seen in my entire life. I love comedy, I love offbeat comedy, I love dark comedy, I like all comedy, I do not like stupid. This is the dumbest, stupidest, thing that has ever been produced. What a waste of time and energy and money. Why did HBO ever pick it up? Whomever made this movie, please don't ever again, find another career. It was torture just to get through the first episode. Torture I tell you. If you haven't seen it yet, run for the hills first!

Not creative, just bad. It's as if the writers tried to copy the least appealing elements of popular TV shows and incorporate them here. The characters are unlikable as well.
