"The series is now coming back for the third time and Valerie Cherish (Lisa Kudrow) is back to her sitcom roots. Except this time, there's no more asshole writers (played here by John Early and Abbi Jacobson) because the script is written by AI, which even Valerie seems to understand is a bad idea."
"In 2005, reality TV was overtaking traditional sitcoms. In 2014, Valerie benefitted from the prestige TV boom. Now, Valarie will have to compete with the attention economy. We look forward to seeing her try."
The Comeback is returning for its third season on HBO, with Lisa Kudrow reprising her role as Valerie Cherish. This time, the sitcom's script is written by AI, which the character recognizes as problematic. The new season addresses contemporary issues beyond AI, including the attention economy that now competes with traditional entertainment. The show reflects how the media landscape has evolved since its 2005 premiere, when reality TV threatened sitcoms, and its 2014 return during the prestige TV boom. The season premieres March 22 at 10:30 pm, featuring returning cast members and new additions including John Early, Abbi Jacobson, Andrew Scott, and others.
