After three hilarious seasons, Hulu has cancelled Difficult People.

The show starred Julie Klausner (also its creator) and Billy Eichner as best friends who will stop at nothing to become famous. We covered the show's third season -- the non-stop jokes, the banter, and the beating heart underneath all of the cynicism. Needless to say, this news has been shocking for many of us here and will continue to sting months after...

What makes this cancellation especially maddening is, for three years, Billy and Julie offered biting commentary on fame, on relationships, and on Kevin Spacey.

In show that was so unrealistic and outlandish, there was something authentically human and real to the friendship between the show's two leads. A relationship like Julie and Billy's was wholly refreshing and vivacious, particularly considering the social and political climate we are currently living in. They were never afraid to make their audience squirm or laugh uproariously at their own expense. 

It is a devastating time for many. Please grieve or share comments on how you will cope below.
