Sprung

This series is off to a great start! If you're a fan of Garcia, (My Name Is Earl, Raising Hope, Yes, Dear, The Guest Room) you'd know this was a Greg Garcia joint right off the bat.

It's also nice to see Dillahunt & Plimpton (Burt & Virginia Chance from Raising Hope) back together. Their chemistry is undeniable. Plimpton's character, Barb ("like the wire with the sharp needles on it") is so over the top, it's hilarious watching Martha just run with it. Philip Garcia's Rooster is the guy to watch, that character is a riot!

The premise is brilliant and similar to Earl, without being derivative. The set up for each episode opens the door for a slew of guest stars and could lead to an enjoyable and lengthy timeline.

This is seriously one of the best new comedies on TV. I just hope that it being a Freevee exclusive doesn't limit its reach, Sprung has multi-season potential.

Looking forward to much more Sprung! Gregory Thomas Garcia is BACK!

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.

I always looking for a Serie which could be the next Leverage which also was a funny Show,same Idea Bad Guys/Gals doing good "Sometimes the Bad Guys are the better Good ones" was kinda their Slogan,hihi.

AND here it is,not a Successor per Se,but same Spirit. I have to say very funny,sooo enjoyable,the cast are great,each one of them give the Show a FeelGood-Vibe to it(i am a great Fan of Garret Dillahunt). I dont know about how much of Sprung is true,but i can imagine it myself.😄

Big Recommendation,watch it,i am sure you´ll looking forward to see all the Episodes like i do now. Give us more more more,hihihihi.👍

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!

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.
