Kidding Review: Shuflling between the dark and light, Jim Carrey's return is a breath of fresh air

The title of the show may suggest humor, and Jim Carrey's lead role makes it even more obvious, but don't be misled; 'Kidding' has nothing to do with comedy but with Carey's genius
UPDATED SEP 8, 2018

Days after being confined in a room when you suddenly go out for a fresh morning walk, you realize how much you have missed the outdoors even without knowing you were. That is how you exactly feel after watching Showtime's 'Kidding,' as the legendary actor Jim Carrey returns to our TV screens since 'In Living Color.'

The title of the show may suggest humor, and Jim Carrey's lead role makes it even more obvious, but don't be misled; 'Kidding' has nothing to do with just 'kidding' around; Jim Carrey returns as a serious actor, the one that he is destined to be. Just when we thought we lost him to his immersion in anti-Trump artworks and questionable red carpet interviews,  the leading bona fide actor proves that he was never lost, he was just getting better.
