    tsamaniego-11581 I absolutely loved seasons 1-3 but I'm not sure what happened after that. I laughed so much during the first three seasons and the characters were great! I was extremely bored with season four and now I'll see what season five brings...
    dmayre-69494 This show is absolutely hilarious! A dry sense of humor & 1/2 a brain are required to appreciate it tho. I'm disappointed programs & writers such as these aren't longer lived. Network sitcoms these days now r a load of crap. Cheers! Have a lovely day! Off to get Arrested!
    devvrathk the show is good, the chemistry is good, the narration is okay, but they are so much so much that it feels like an audio book. not 2 secs go without the narration coming in. look, its day, looks its night for every little thing the narrator has to explain. i mean, jeez take a hike dude. the narrator should shut up for few sec and let us enjoy the dialogue and characters
    Binge I found the first few episodes OK and kept watching because I generally love shows and movies about dysfunctional selfish people and their interactions. Intelligent perspectives on human behavior are comedy goldmines. Unfortunately this show gradually stops portraying the characters as unlikable dysfunctional people but rather wants us to find them hilarious and adorable. It doesn't succeed in making them hilarious and adorable either so after a while you are just watching a bunch of people talking to each other, repeating recycled jokes. You get bored. The story lines are excruciatingly slow and empty. There are themes that they insist on going on and on with that are just not funny, like the old lady dating Buster or the father going Jewish in prison were just cringe (S 1). Same themes have been really funny in other shows so it's just a matter of the writers and producers not being able to deliver. All in all, the actors really do a good enough job, and I might have given it a 5. But the racial humor cost them those extra stars in my review. Racial humor can be very entertaining. But again, they couldn't deliver on that either and the jokes are just vulgar and downright racist. I get the feeling this was made for a niche market and I am definitely not in the target group. Im guessing the good reviews come from people who are more or less in that niche, or they were written after having watched just a few episodes? If you like intelligent comedy about human interaction, a story line that moves forward and pauses with subplots that are funny and not repeated to death, if you don't enjoy racism creeping up on you, then you are not in the target group either.
