Brews Brothers

I probably have a weird taste. Sure I do. When I saw the reviews, I feared the worst. Being German, I love beer, so I had to take a peek. But then it turned out that the entertainment value is quite pleasing. I'd classify the gags more as a teen comedy from the 90s. Mostly below the belt. But still a lot of funny ideas and puns (more modern setting). Actors are nice and meet the expectations. Characters are a bit one-dimensional, but not primitive. And something always happens, sometimes predictable, but always charming. So if you are into rude jokes with a pinch of cleverness you will be served above average here. At least by Netflix standards.

If you can get past the first 2 episodes it will grow on you.

Trailers looked good and watched it with my wife. I'm glad we waited for kids to be asleep! The series started a bit slow and the whole series was quite a bit raunchier than we were expecting but overall had a great laugh.

Characters are shallow but do they need to be in a show like this? Sarah and Becky are both gorgeous. Adam is about as annoying as they come but who doesn't have a sibling like that?? The German monk, Truffles, was absolutely ridiculous and over the top.

Would move the rating to a 9 if they get a season 2 (we hope they do) and make a little less raunchy.

Solid concept, decent acting, just bad writing. Way too many ridiculously over-the-top, not clever, crude jokes. Acting was decent for the most part. A handful of these reviews seem to be annoyed by the Adam character but come on...that's the point. The actor plays the character perfectly, i.e., I found him entertainingly irritating. Without Adam, the show would honestly be nothing. If Netflix green lights Season 2, I'd watch it.

I was nervous seeing a lot of reviews under 5 stars, but I was so interested by the concept I decided to watch any and I was pleasantly surprised. I ended up watching the whole seasoning one night.

It's not an incredibly smart comedy with a laugh every minute but I had a lot of fun watching it. I didn't love the league and stopped watching after season 1, but it seems like a lot of the reviews held their expectation to that because of the creators.

Sometimes the writing is confusing or feels jumbled, but the plot is so easy to follow you can usually figure it out. The cast dynamic really makes up for it. The character Adam felt unbearable in the first two episodes but by episode 3 the others start to undercut/stand up to him and balance it out.

I think this show had a rocky but redeemable first season, and if it gets renewed I hope the writers will listen to feedback because the concept has so much potential.
