Welcome to Flatch

From where I'm sitting, those who are giving this less than five stars and seriously negative reviews are people who have only watched the first episode. I've watched all seven (currently available via streaming), and it has potential. As a rule, I generally give a new show three or four episodes before deciding. If you're a fan of Paul Feig's work, you'll know what to expect - quirky, absurd and off-beat.

This show isn't a dig at small-town America, nor is it a knock-off of Somebody Somewhere. I grew up in a small town, so it's kind of relatable.

I'm looking forward to seeing where this goes.

For some reason I thought this would be a weird American knockoff of Letterkenny, but it is not. It has quite a few recognizable faces and the acting is spot on. It's a very easy watch and I quickly binged all 7 episodes on Hulu. Can't wait for more!

Those who are hating on this show should maybe remember that season 1 of pens and rec started off slow and only got into its stride in season 3. I think it's a good start with a good cast and has lots of potential.

If you're a fan of mockumentaries, you can easily see the potential in this show. It's definitely getting its footing, but even with that being said, it's has great moments. Holmes is almost effortlessly funny. Sam Straley is a great opposite and the balance between them is perfect. Also super excited to see Aya Cash in this. She's so good in The Boys. I think this show will hit its stride and be really, really great.

I wanted to like this show.

Episode 1 did little to impress me, but by episode 3, I'm charmed by the characters and looking forward to the next one.

By episode 6, I'm literally laughing out loud.

Give it a chance, don't compare it to anything, and be pleasantly surprised & delighted!
