Fairfax

The humour is there but it's around topics that make people roll their eyes, it's hard to root for people that you just don't relate to in any way, it's easy to argue that it's jokes around current trends or people so they are laughing at themselves and that makes it all ok because we are all inclusive but that's not comedy, it's just another make it loud and full of references show that tickles it's own ego. Lots of shows do this but just like an comedian and a normal person, they can say the same joke but only one will make you laugh.

Amazon-owned IMDb wants you and I to watch this show. Okay.

Show is 80% Gen Z slang and references to things only always-online kids will understand. Social media, influencers, fashion brands, and other things like that. The show doesn't take itself too seriously and pokes fun at how fleeting trends are, but also banks on viewers being aware of current trends. Talk about a mixed message. Needless to say, it will ultimately age like milk and be thrown away by next year. Even watching it as someone who knows what they're referencing and parodying, this is pretty lukewarm stuff. None of the "jokes" really landed.

Tl;dr: "Not funny, didn't laugh" (if you're in the market for new writers Fairfax showrunners, I'm available).

The other 20% of the show is actual character stuff, which is interspersed between basic adult cartoon plots. Random, unstructured bits of fantasy, surrealism, gross-out, teen drama/comedy litter the episodes. No unifying style. Just whatever they want to do for a quick gag that episode. The main cast actually does have personalities and quirks that aren't just "sitcom Gen Z child #1," so that's nice. Not a high bar to clear, but considering how terrible the show looks/sounds on paper, I'm giving them points for trying.

Animation is what you'd expect from a cheap cartoon. That's all I'll say on that topic.

Between the flood of 18-year-olds saying this is a work of art because some famous person they know voice acts in it and 50-year-olds giving this a 1/10 because they don't understand what's going on, the level-headed will recognize Fairfax for what it is: pandering to a specific demographic. It's totally harmless streaming service fodder. I'm sure the people working on this care about their work, but I hope they're not banking on this lasting very long.

This is literally a show about modern kids in a suburb 20 miles outside of San Francisco, and yet I still see people bombing reviews about it being woke. If woke culture triggers you this probably isn't your show my guy not sure what brought you here in the first place. That being said I didn't enjoy it much couple laughs here and there but overall a miss.

Cheap animation. But it dosent mather. This is funny. Just the litle things. The trippy coloring. Very enjoyable entertainment And am'n oldass man! All love.

First I would say this might be funny to high school or college age kids but nobody over 30 is going to think this is funny or witty I understand the satire of the comedy but it just seems lacking maybe its my age But I could only make it through half the series then got bored with it.
