didnt know it had come out, am going to though
Netflix is shilling pretty hard lately
Just watched the pilot, didn't really clicked on me, but since it's only 6 episodes I will see the rest when I get bored
how family guy like is it?
is it more gag humor, character humor, or situation humor?

1st 2 episodes are meh. The rest are pretty good.

I watched all 6. It was... ok. Not spectacular, not terrible. There were some solid laughs here and there. My favorite was the airliner commercial.
It's funny, but still something is missing. It is a bit cliched, but it has a few novel moments.
It wasn't what I was expecting at all. It has a lot of pretty dark humor with deadpan delivery -- it highlights the absurdity of family life, but not in a comical way. It is also a lot more sentimental than expected. I'd say it's almost a mix between King of the Hill and early Southpark, except not quite as good as either of those.
I think there's potential, but they haven't quite tapped it all yet. It's set in the 70's, but the show doesn't really highlight this as well as it could. I mean sure, they make fun of tupperware, coke, and answering machines, but not really in a comical or satirical way. It's almost as if they normalize 70's behavior, so as to not really highlight the absurdity.
Also, the show was advertised as making fun of political correctness, but I think they could have done a lot more with this.
Bill Burr's acting is a bit stiff at first, but gets better in later episodes. The whole show gets better as episodes progress, so perhaps the show is just going through growing pains. The Simpsons took awhile to heat, up, so maybe this is the same case.
Definitely worth a try. I would watch this if you have nothing better to do. I'm not sure how Netflix works -- if this were network TV, I think the show would be cancelled. But maybe Netflix is low risk and infinite air-time, so they may keep going with it. If they make more episodes, I will watch them.

definitely not "cut to gag scene" family guy. Mostly character humor/ situation humor.
I would agree with others that the first two episodes are weaker than the rest.

It won't remind you of Family Guy at all
Lots of swearing. Lots of adult humor that family guy can't touch. Real life situations and scenarios. Dont question if your kids can watch it cause 2 mins into it they won't want to.
>the dad is pissed. Frank
Looks like a shit version of King of the Hill
>>63838924
Nah, it's more like a Mike Judge show. Situation humour.
>>63838562
I only saw the trailer but Bill's voice doesn't match how his character looks at all
i liked it more than bojack. its pretty simple humor but its refreshing in a way that its not the surreal sitcom style most adult cartoons have.

>we couldn't get the rights for King of the Hill
> still no torrent
is every joke about being a loud obnoxious southie mick who drinks and shouts all the time?
