Following the one-year anniversary of his son Philip's death, Jeff Piccirillo appears on Conan and sings one of his well-known songs. While at the set of his television program Mr. Pickles' Puppet Time, he proposes producing an episode about the topic of death to Seb, the show's producer and his father, who quickly dismisses the idea. Jeff returns to the home he previously shared with his now separated wife Jill and their surviving son Will. Back at the set of the show, Jeff discusses his proposal for a death-centric episode again and Seb acquiesces. Later, Jeff's sister Dierdre goes home and tries to convince her daughter Maddy to eat her vegetables. She relents after Maddy reveals that earlier that day she saw her father Scott having a sexual encounter in the front yard. The next day, Jeff turns on the show expecting to see the episode about death air but instead finds that it has been replaced. Seb confirms this to him in a phone call and reminds him about not tarnishing his brand and image as Jeff partially shaves his head in spite. Jeff goes on to purchase the house for sale right next door to his prior one, where he sees his wife in the kitchen with another man.

Development

On September 14, 2017, it was announced that Showtime had given the production a straight-to-series order for a first season consisting of ten episodes. The series was created by Dave Holstein who also serves as executive producer alongside Jim Carrey, Michel Gondry, Jason Bateman, Jim Garavente, Raffi Adlan, and Michael Aguilar. Additionally, Holstein wrote the pilot episode and serves as showrunner and Gondry directed the pilot.[1][17][18] On June 7, 2018, it was announced that the series would premiere on September 9, 2018.[19]

On October 10, 2018, it was announced that Showtime had renewed the series for a second season consisting of ten episodes that were scheduled to premiere on November 3, 2019.[20][21] However, in September 2019, Showtime announced that the second season would instead premiere on February 9, 2020.[22] On July 14, 2020, Showtime canceled the series after two seasons.[23]

Casting

Simultaneously with the announcement of the series order, it was confirmed that Jim Carrey had been cast in the series' lead role.[1] On December 14, 2017, it was reported that Catherine Keener had been cast as the series' female lead.[24] On January 4, 2018, it was announced that Frank Langella had joined the main cast in a series regular role.[25] On February 13, 2018, it was reported that Judy Greer had also joined the main cast.[26] On March 15, 2018, it was announced that Justin Kirk had been cast in a recurring role.[27] In May 2018, it was reported that Ginger Gonzaga and Bernard White were joining the cast in a recurring capacity.[28][29] On July 9, 2018, it was announced that Grace Song had been cast in a recurring role.[30]

Release

Marketing

On June 7, 2018, the series' first official trailer was released.[19] About two weeks later, a teaser trailer featuring a song from the series was released.[31] On August 6, 2018, the series' poster and the second official trailer were released.[32]

Premiere

On September 5, 2018, the series held its official premiere at the Cinerama Dome in Los Angeles, California. Those in attendance included David Nevins, Judy Greer, Jim Carrey, Catherine Keener, and Dave Holstein.[33]

Distribution

In Canada, the series airs on The Movie Network and CraveTV.[34] In France, the series airs on Canal+ Séries.[35] In the United Kingdom, the series has aired on Sky Atlantic, but it later moved to Sky Comedy.[36] In Spain, the series airs on Movistar Series.[37]

Reception

Critical response

The series has been met with a positive response from critics upon its premiere. On the review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes, the first season holds a 77% approval rating, with an average rating of 7.38 out of 10 based on 77 reviews. The website's critical consensus reads, "Fans of Jim Carrey's slapstick may be disappointed, but other viewers may find a surprisingly poignant examination of life and grief in Kidding."[38] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the first season a score of 68 out of 100 based on 33 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews."[39]

In a positive review, Vox's Karen Han praised the series saying, "The deconstruction of a Fred Rogers figure would make for an interesting show on its own, but Kidding transcends that premise by leaps and bounds on the strength of Carrey’s performance and a determination to make the show just as rough--and riveting--as real life."[40] In another favorable critique, The Hollywood Reporter's Tim Goodman offered similar acclaim saying, "With its keen self-awareness, exceptional writing and consistently great acting, Kidding — starring a perfectly cast Jim Carrey in his first series-regular role since In Living Color two decades ago — is Showtime's best and most binge-worthy series in a long time."[41] Ben Travers at IndieWire reviewed the first four episodes of the show, and called it an alt-reality Mr. Rogers, and that although the fixation on death is "uncomfortable, [...] it shows signs of a lighter, broader scope and is buoyed by unrelenting optimism." He praised the story for treating Jeff's sincerity with genuine respect, and Carrey for his "terrific" and "nuanced" performance.[42] Kristen Baldwin of Entertainment Weekly gave it a B+ grade and called it a "bittersweet family saga" and is unsure of the direction of the show but "for now, it’s a compelling story about the beauty, and difficulty, of giving your pain a name."[43] In a more mixed assessment, Rolling Stone's Alan Sepinwall awarded the series three-and-a-half stars out of five and provided restrained admiration saying, "Carrey’s worth the price of admission, though, even if it’s not the TV comeback vehicle many of his fans would want. Heck, he’d probably be a huge hit just hosting a full-length version of the show within the show, rather than this version that only gives us innocent glimpses amidst all the mourning. But like Jeff Pickles, Carrey wants to lean into the harder parts of life. More often than not with Kidding, he succeeds."[44]

In a negative evaluation, Uproxx's Pilot Viruet compared the series unfavorably to some of Showtimes's past shows saying, "those series found ways to make the humor seem more natural, more fitting with the stories they’re telling. Kidding's approach is more overt and frequently confusing, as if spotting a brightly-colored puppet wandering amongst our real world."[45] Caroline Framke of Variety said that the show succeeds in places but more often than not it "feels caught between too many tones and ideas to become quite as distinctive as it could be." Framke wrote that over the first four episodes the show better understands TV personality and business of Mr. Pickles than it does of grieving father Jeff.[46] Dave Nemetz of TVLine is critical of the tone of the show, saying it is "somewhere between comedy and drama, and isn’t entirely successful at either."[47]

The second season received positive reviews. On Rotten Tomatoes, the season holds an 100% approval rating, with an average rating of 8 out of 10 based on 10 reviews. The website's critical consensus reads, "Kidding lightens its emotional load just enough to craft a sophomore season that is brighter and sweeter and no less insightful than its first."[48]
