Chicago Party Aunt

UK reviewer and some jokes I didn't understand. Definitely an alternative to family guy etc. If you like rude, crude and stupid jokes, then definitely you'll find this funny. Hoping for a 2nd season thanks netflix.

Embraced the value of family and friends. Relatable storyline and smooth progression. Big fan of the bright tone-ish setup for an adult animation. Reminds me of family guy and many other sitcoms.

This sitcom is really good. Literally every episodes made me burst out laughing. Great episodial plotting, that was a bit relatable but made in the extremely dramatic way. Great voice castings and clean characters design. Few glimpses of action, dark humour, romances but entirely packed with adult comedies. Amazing dialogues/writtings and the intro track was pretty dope too.

Each episode runs about 20 to 30 minutes, which wasnt enough for me tbh. Binge watched the whole season in a day. Very addictive and highly recommended to adults. This is totally not for childrens.

I expressed disdain at the show when it was announced, mainly for being based on a Twitter gimmick account (yes, really) and for having that samey adult animation style. I finally watched it, and it's surprisingly not bad.

I'm not from Chicago, so take my opinions here with a grain of salt.

Voice Acting - 2/2. You can't go wrong with Lauren Ash. I loved her as Scorpia in She-Ra, and she brings a lot of life to Diane.

Characters - 1/2. Diane is a hard-drinking, partying hedonist with a disheveled lifestyle. When her nephew comes to live with her, the show sets up an arc about learning to care for others. Pretty interesting.

Writing - 1/2. Again, you'll only really appreciate it if you're from Chicago yourself.

Animation - 1/2. Yet another show with the generic adult animation art style. Like with The Harper House, you could make this into a live action sitcom and nothing would change.

Music - 1/2. The rock soundtrack is great, but it's another victim of the lack of a theme song and a generic title card intro.

I loved this series! If you lived through the Mike Ditka era in Chicago you would get the jokes. It is spot on with life in Wrigleyville during the time when it was the center of entertainment in the city. The Cubbies and the Bears ruled. All of the other Chicago teams were an afterthought.

Diane's love of Chicago made me smile and remember my days in college when pub crawls through the neighborhoods of the city were like an Olympic sport. I had friends whose parents were just like Diane. Any Cubs game was a reason to party and tailgating at the Bears game was a family affair.

Loved this show. Wish they had more episodes. Maybe a spinoff with Mikey's college years at DePaul University would be a good idea.

I can't believe the haters who didn't get the humor. They truly missed out.

...Because if it was anywhere else it would've been cancelled after its first episode.

Another bland, flat, and uninteresting animated sitcom about a human train wreck and the more common sensed people in their life who try to keep her from going even further off the deep end. Where have I seen this before? Oh, right, almost everywhere else in a comedy, animated or live-action. Maybe this sort of show would have done well 20 years ago, but this kind of content is so common-place these days there really isn't anything new to offer for the viewer.

BEWARE - See at your own risk.
