It's not Bob's Burgers or Futurama but if you're a fan of adult animation it's a good time! It's stupid funny and that's the purpose of adult animation. I promise if you need something mind numbing after a long day this will cure that. It has a woman raised by bears, an imaginary skeleton, treenises, and so much more!
Some characters are very try hard and the humor does fall flat so I can see why there are a lot of negative reviews but Jon Hamm and Alan Tudyk really make up for it. It has great potential so time will tell if the show will be a cult classic or a 2 season failure. Just give it a shot.

Overall just kind of...meh. It has an interesting concept at first, however it never really connected. Jokes are thrown at you every second but the vast majority of them fall very, very flat and the characters are pretty much one-note. It feels very safe and corporate. Unfortunately that has become the status quo for adult animation, but just because I expect something doesn't mean I don't want it to change.
I've seen some call this the "adult version of Gravity Falls" but if that would entail annoying characters, outdated humor, and the ugly animation we've come to expect from Fox, I think I'll stick with the non-adult version. It's disappointing that in a medium with so much potential as animation, we are constantly getting samey shows like this. They may take a different approach, sure, but they end up at the same destination.
I don't doubt that the show gets better but I'm not in the mood to sit through more of it.
The ONLY thing I actually liked was that hot dude with the parrot. I cannot remember his name but I liked his cheekbones and voice quite a bit.

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!
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'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!
