I get that not everything is for everyone, but I thought this show would be down my alley. I was mostly incorrect. It does get three stars for solid acting performances (no surprise there).

The biggest issue was the incessant laugh track. It was so over the top that one would think it was intended to be a self parody. The. Laugh. Track. Wouldn't. Ever. Stop

The other reason it could be mistaken as a self parody is that it was not funny. Like, at all. To the point that I thought it was intentionally being unfunny.

The premises were also convoluted, but this clearly was the least of its issues.

Funny enough, I feel like the first episode was the weakest. But it comes into its own as the season progresses. Note that this review is just through episode 5.

At this point, there really isn't anything I can notably be critical of. At first I found the characters to be a bit one dimensional and frankly annoying. But now I don't feel that way.

Love the stand alone mystery in each episode. Perhaps they could focus a bit more on the missing brother, but really the point is that his disappearance sort of intentionally takes a back seat.

Words words words words to meet imdbs minimum requirement.

Giving this older and under appreciated film some love in part for its amazing soundtrack. It's worth watching this film just for that. Unironically one of the best film soundtracks I've ever heard. The songs are all listed here on IMDb so no worries looking them up. I spent half the film constantly commenting about this to my wife.

As far as the film itself goes...better than the five stars it has here. It's funny and unexpectedly satirical. The leads have chemistry. The plot itself isn't that cringey. Everyone is likable. Frankly this film is much better than most current films in the genre who claim to be comedies yet are void of comedy.
