Sprung

This was a very intelligently done comedy with goofy lovable characters. Lately there is dearth of comedy shows, but smart comedies have reached a point of extinction. Couple that with so many dumb shows with laughter tracks and racism. The camera style and the look makes it look very cheap (maybe it is), but the execution and the story just blows it our of the park.

It takes us to the crazy parts at the start of the Pandemic and explores different themes. Whoever wrote it and directed it is going on my watch list.

Sprung is all about lovable ex-convicts who are forced to bond together due to the lack of opportunities and the Pandemic with a Robinhood twist thrown in. Highly recommend it.

I was referred this by my friend and found my brother watching it so I jumped in and watched with him. I'm glad I did because it was great. It stars a bunch of unknown actors outside of Garret Dillahunt (Justified, Fear the Walking Dead, Deadwood, etc.). Like another review already pointed out, it has the same feel as My Name Is Earl. The show is about a guy named Jack (Dillahunt) who recently gets paroled with his cellmate Rooster (Phillip Garcia) and he goes to live with Rooster and his mom, Barb (Martha Plimlton). The woman (Shakira Barrera) he was flirting with in prison also gets paroled and goes to live with the three of them. Jack wants to go straight and become a teacher but gets pulled in by the others and the four of them then use their criminal expertise to rip off bad people and do some good. This all takes place at the start of the pandemic, which makes for a very funny setting.

It was just the other night I was thinking about "the guest book" and missing shows like Earl and I was craving something similar that I came across this show and couldn't be happier.

Thanks to Greg Garcia for putting out another show with his signature style of comedy. I really needed a show like this and I am looking forward to more episodes.

Hilarious trip down a short Memory Lane, Sprung seems to combine the style of the 70's with the angst of the Corona Virus. Think Raising Hope combined with the rustic Pittsburg vibe and you get the setting for a funny 4 person crime spree.

I had no idea what this was going to be like. The first two episodes were unexpectedly funny with a few truly touching scenes. Martha Plimpton is at her hilarious, face-contorting best playing a sleazy mother of a con released from prison early due to CV-19. He brought two other cons home with him with no place to go. Of course, cons will be cons so petty crimes ensue. This is a keeper!
