Grimsburg

Ofcourse I've only seen one episode so far and it's not unheard of for things to turn around really quickly, but I'm writing this now so that maybe the feedback would be considered by the creators.

I think there are basically two approaches to mainstream-ish cartoon comedy:

1) Flat premise in which surface level comedy happens (Simpsons, Family guy, etc.)

2) Deep-ish, specific setting, in which the deep-ish specific comedy can occur (R&M, Bojack, etc.)

This however, is a deep-ish specific setting with extremely flat, surface level humor.

I'm not sure whether it's just a very odd combination to me, a specific person, or if it truly doesn't work, but I do wish they would build up momentum/depth before the punchlines.

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.

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.

It takes the Noir detective and cartoonifys all the gross things about them. I wouldn't say this show is for everyone. It's an odd humor type. It's like if Bojack, Smiling Friends, and Duncanville had some crazy baby. Good for some chuckles and you still get to follow a plot. I'd give it a good 7-8. The whole show is kind of beating a bunch of dead horses with the randomness of old YouTube. It simultaneously parodies a bunch of tropes and detective movies. There's random subplots. It is kind of a mess, but in a way I find entertaining. It's almost like someone tried to cram as many jokes as possible into every scene. I'd say give it a watch if you're a general fan of sitcom type cartoons. Don't go into it thinking of something like Archer.

I'm enjoying this new fox domination addition, the characters are very fun and the world built surrounding it is unique and different. Always a big fan at each shows ability to create their own spot in the fox universe. Excited to see what this show will be able to bring for ideas, characters, etc. The voice actors are great choices too. Reminds me a lot of a adult version of gravity falls for its mysterious atmosphere and different approach compared to its other predecessors. Enjoy that it's more of a "horror"-esq. Type show as well. Very excited to see what comes each episode, and to get to know the characters further. Hope for this series to have great success!
