"Please Like Me" debuts tonight on a brand-new cable channel. Pivot rather pompously thinks it's got the whole millenial thing figured out and has aimed this show at 18-to-34-year-olds who think they're smarter than everyone else.
"Please Like Me" is an Australian import that stars Australian comedian Josh Thomas as a guy who gets dumped by his girlfriend, thinks he might be gay and discovers his mother tried to kill herself.
And it's sort of funny.
All six episodes air tonight at 6, 6:30, 7, 7:30, 8 and 8:30 p.m.
By the way, Pivot is on Ch. 231 on Comcast; Ch. 267 on DirecTV; and Ch. 197 on Dish.
