    Excellent show can't wait for season 2 to come out on DVD as already own season 1.... hide « show »

    Awesome! Can't wait for season 2 to come out on DVD. An excellent show that I greatly enjoyed. Very well written and acted.......
    I don't understand why when they have such quality shows they are always so short lived yet the reality tv genre just keeps growing and growing while only two seasons of this awesome show are all I'm aware of and can only wish for more more more......
    I know money is the biggest consideration but quality shold also be a factor. We have the access to great writers and actors etc. needed for such great works like Huff yet we don't take advantage of the quality of shows such as this....

    A brilliantly written show. I'm compelled to register my disgust that it did not get scheduled for a third season. hide « show »

    A brilliantly written show. I'm compelled to register my disgust that it did not get scheduled for a third season. Surely showtime could at least give its followers the decency of a feature lenght episode to resolve the storyline?

    Its an abomination that quality television like this gets axed while mediocre reality shows continue to dominate our airwaves.

    I take my hat off to the writers, actors, editors and director for two seasons of compelling viewing. Visually it was superb and the scene transitions were remarkable. The writing was sharp and witty and the character development was very well executed.

    Huff is the best show to hit TV since Twin Peaks. And thats really saying something

    Why does Showtime end up cancelling all the good shows? hide « show »

    The series of Huff was a ground breaking drama that truly had power over it's viewers. I see why every actor of this show joined this magnicifent cast of award winners. Hank Azaria portrail of Dr. Craig "Huff" Huffstodt was some of the most emotionally moving acting I have seen in a long time. The shows vision of a mental health crisis is very life like, and almost to close to home. With the feeling of a real family, with its few ups and majority of downs, this show made you feel good, funny, scared, sad and left you wanting more. It is truly sad that this series had to end so soon. I can't say it was a shock though, with Showtime throwing it to the back of the pile, it seems that there wasn't much hope for a return after it's long hiatus. I wish there were more dramas with this much content and this much feeling.

    9.8 Superb

    unbelievable hide « show »

    this show is so smart and the humour is very black and high brow. the casting is fantastic. Oliver Platt is incredible and the wake of devastation he leaves in his path is ridiculous. I especially loved seeing Bob Saget, in a cameo, after Huff tries an intervention for his drug habit, offering to give Mary-Kate and Ashley-lookalike midget prostitutes a bath.
    DARK and HILARIOUS.

    7.6 Good

    Nice show. hide « show »

    What gripped me about this show was the authenticity and three-dimensionality of _all_ of HUFF's characters. No one-note stereotypes. Conflicted. Mixing irritating irrationality and perversity with endearing and respectworthy qualities. I _cared_ about these people!! I wanted to know more about them, and what happened to them next.

    Their lives were a revelation to me. Probably, for artistic license, each individual character was packed with somewhat more complexity than any one person you'd usually come across in daily life. But for me, that was a bonus.

    Finding ways to "decode" others' behavior and internal workings has always been an urgent need in my several decades of life beleaguered with Attention Deficit Disorder (especially long before ADD was "discovered" and validated). Thus, for me the show has provided not only engaging entertainment but also an education in some of the many conditions the fellow humans I meet may be living through.

    For this I want to especially praise Andy Comeau. For me his contribution is the most significant in the show. Through insight and skill he managed to convey the _humanness_ of a character the average viewer would see only as "some kinda nut".

    Huff's brother Teddy is one of the few in the show identified with a specific mental disorder – in his case, schizophrenia. Comeau acquaints us (superbly!) with not only the dysfunctionality but – more importantly,I think – additionally with the _normality_ and _commonality_ that is ALSO part of Teddy's makeup. He shows that Teddy is not "merely a nut case" but is also _a human being_. Like we ALL are, in one way or another -- as we can se, IF we care to LOOK.

    Most people divide the world into two camps – the normals (themselves and people they like) and the crazies (people they don't understand and therefore put down). Comeau's brilliant and sensitive performance helps us see that EVERYONE is a mixture of, or somewhere on a continuum between, these two endpoints.

    When more people understand that, the world will be a much better place -- for ALL of us.
