It earned strong reviews (83% on Rotten Tomatoes), though it had a lukewarm 6.8 out of 10 from audiences and a short run with a modest audience. A safe bet when you want something reliable.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Made for anyone who wants a laugh. Critics rate it higher than audiences do, so it rewards patience more than it chases thrills.
- The mood
- Light and funny.
- The pace
- 4 seasons, but most episodes stand on their own, so you can dip in anywhere (about 25 minutes each).
- What might put you off
- Rated TV-MA: meant for adults.
- Audiences were cooler on it than critics.
Exposing the parental-paradox that it is possible, in the very same moment, to love your child to the horizon of the universe, while being apoplectically angry enough to want to send them there.
