Wonderful cast... quirky and sweet! Daniel Levy has been a longtime favorite. This is the first show I binge watched. I just love the entire cast. Great job!
... View MoreIt took to about mid way through the second season before this show really found its tone, and it's brilliant. The closest thing I can compare this to is a 1930s screwball comedy, only updated with a modern sensibility. The humor and tone is very sophisticated, despite the seemingly tired fish-out-of-water premise, because the writers never go for the most obvious or expected joke or if they do, they subvert it. The show had developed its storylines and characters very impressively, and you genuinely end up caring about the Rose family and their friends. The Alexis storyline is better than most recent romantic comedies, especially when the show decided to make nice guy Ted her true love and her having to become a better person to win him. Back in the 1930s, she would have wound up with gruff Mutt without having to become a better person and the nice guy would have been discarded.It's also lovely to see queer David get his own romantic comedy plot and the banter between him and Patrick is sharp and funny. I am really looking forward to seeing how these stories move forward in Season 5. It's also sweet to see their parents, Johnny and Moira, have stayed in love despite their change in status. It's really funny, it respects its audience and it is often surprising, too.
... View MoreI love love LOVE Catherine O'Hara and Eugene Levy but this show is just garbage. Terrible writing and Levy's son are just garbage!
... View MoreThe first season was a little slow and the laughs were few and too far between. But I found the family characters quite endearing. I am a huge fan of Catherine O'Hara from Best in Show etc. The family grew on me and while some might think the character of David is too much I think he's a perfect fit and enriches the show, perfectly matched with his sister. Starting in the second season the Rose family shows more humility and humanity while the humor becomes smarter and the laughs and giggles are way more frequent!Love it!
