Plots(1)

Jeff, aka Mr. Pickles, an icon of children's television, a beacon of kindness and wisdom to America's impressionable young minds and the parents who grew up with him - who also anchors a multimillion-dollar branding empire.But when this beloved personality's family - wife, two sons, sister and father - begins to implode, Jeff finds no fairy tale or fable or puppet will guide him through the crisis, which advances faster than his means to cope. The result: a kind man in a cruel world faces a slow leak of sanity as hilarious as it is heartbreaking. (Showtime)

Kidding (2018) 

English Jim Carrey and Michel Gondry can still do great things. It has never been so emotionally challenging to visit the backstage of a children's show. In terms of the acting, it's all on Jim, who still has it. He is well supported by Frank Langella (the great Dracula 50 years ago) or Catherine Keener. Even the hostesses show interesting faces here and there. An intense experience. ()

Season 1 (2018) (S01) 

English The first season of Kidding is a complete surprise. I almost thought Jim Carrey wasn't filming anymore because it's been 15 years since Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. And yet Jim is still in great shape. And maybe even better. Each episode gives us a brilliant reunion with him and his family on the verge of a nervous breakdown. And yet it's magical (and chilling at the same time). If you remember The Truman Show and Man on the Moon, you're in the right place. ()
