Grimsburg

I originally started watching this show because there was a bit of a content drought when it premiered, but I really took to the characters and the goofy, cringe-inducing plotlines pretty quickly.

My least favorite part is probably Stan. Rachel Dratch's voice acting is always pretty bad, but it's made even worse when she's voicing male characters. The rest of the cast hits their marks pretty well (typecasting), but especially Alan Tudyk. He could voice most of the cast and do a pretty good job.

Overall, I look forward to watching the show everytime it airs. It also wouldn't surprise or annoy me if it was cancelled relatively soon. That's just how this stuff works.

I didn't care for the pilot although I didn't dislike it like many others seem to. It was just kinda meh and with a lot of what felt like forced humour.

~10 episodes later I must say it kinda grew on me. I'm not sure if the writing improved or I just had to get into the rhythm of the show but it's actually a good watch.

It's not on par with the juggernauts out there (Venture, Rick & Morty, Ugly Americans etc pp) yet but still an entertaining show with good talent. Just binch a couple of episodes to get into it if adult swim kinda shows are your thing.

I for one won't mind a 2nd season.

7 out of 10.

Grimsburg isn't a good show by any means, but it's not terrible either. The show isn't very funny and a lot of the episodes in the first season feel like adult version of Scooby-Doo which is a problem because the show has no identity. The season finale was what an episode of the show should be like consistently because I like how it ties all the episodes villains together, but unfortunately it's not there quite yet.

There are actually some very good concepts and ideas in the show. I like the mom being "raised by bears" and how it shapes her character, which make for some interesting subplots. It's kinda generic with the dad being lazy and fat and the other characters aren't really super interesting, but they are trying at least. And while I'm not a huge fan, I think it is definitely better than Universal Basic Guys for sure, no doubt about it.

I think they need to drop a few of the characters cause they're just not interesting and it would be a fine show. Season 2 apparently is gonna focus more on workplace comedy which will be nice in helping the show become it's own thing and not just a "better" version of Velma. Looking forward to seeing improvements but wouldn't be surprised if it's kind of the same.

So I have been watching Grimsburg, every episode to date and that is now episode 9.

I genuinely laugh every episode, out loud..

It has some great actors in it. Alan Tudyk to name my favourite (Firefly, Con Man, Doom Patrol, Harley Quinn and Resident Alien (God I love Resident Alien)).

There are underlying threads throughout the episodes and series, won't spoil anything. Some quirky characters, which are great. I can never guess the episode content and where it will go from the start of that episode, other shows feel so predictable.

Give it a shot and don't take it seriously. It is not a doco and thankfully not reality TV drivel.

A frenetic energy courses through out the show that keeps it moving well. It mocks just about every trope of cop/detective show procedurals - from the family trouble, the main character being grizzled veteran of the force called in to solve an "unsolvable" case, misdirects on who the perpetrator is etc. Jon Hamm as Marvin Flute is clearly having a blast and delivers lines with speed and somehow subtly delivers asides allowing jokes to be slotted into exposition in a quick funny way. Anything with Alan Tudyk will be worth your time. And Rachel Dratch gives a good turn as a Flute's Son. Overall a twisted and funny pilot, with a lot of potential. I'm looking forward to more!
