Central Park

Let me start by saying right off the bat that this is an animated MUSICAL series. If musicals are NOT your thing, please...DON'T WATCH THIS!! I've noticed several negative reviews here from people who hate that "there is too much singing" in the show. Don't ruin the ratings here for a new, original series just because it's a genre (musicals) that you don't even like. I don't like reality shows so, you know what? I don't watch them and therefore don't share my opinion on any of them. Now... for those who DO LIKE musicals (like myself) this show, in just two episodes, has tapped into something that has not really been explored much outside of Disney animated movies. We've had plenty of animated series that use adult humor but how many have used the musical as their primary format? Not only is Central Park laugh-out-loud funny, the musical numbers are actually really, really good! Almost all the songs are infectiously catchy to the point that you might just find yourself searching for the soundtrack in Apple Music or Spotify (I know I will). Watching this I felt like I was watching a great Broadway musical, not an animated tv show. Please ignore the negative reviews here because they are speaking from their bias against an entire genre. This is a hilarious show with surprisingly well sung musical numbers that will have you rewatching when it's all done.

Anyone who is dissing this in the reviews is either comparing it to Bob's Burgers or hates musicals. Those are not valid reasons to significantly impact the rating of this show. This show is some of the most fun I've had in weeks.

Some people were turned off from the show simply because it is a musical. That's like saying I would have liked fast and furious if not for all the cars. The musical is a neat part of the structure of the show, and the songs are both clever in their lyrics and consistent with general musical theater tones. The show is clever and funny and unique. And while it might not speak to an array of people who just have no penchant for song in the show, for those that do, this is done well.

Omg I love this show and I have only seen one episode. the songs are catchy and it is very funny at times ,the humour can also be unexpected at times , and I love that!!!!! the characters are great and likeable. GO WATCH THIS SHOW. EPISODES 1 AND 2 ARE AVAILABLE NOW ON Apple TV

The plot is pretty interesting, but in true musical fashion, half of each episode is spent singing about things that don't further the plot along. If you are into musicals, this show might be for you, but if you are looking for something more like Bob's Burgers, you are better off checking out The Great North instead.
