After watching the full first season, I had an appreciation for the talent of each and every actor within the cast. The group as a whole comes together very well and the writing includes some classic humor and some very original concepts that add freshness.
Freddie Smith (Gary Goldberg) is fantastic, especially when singing or when doing a scene with Shawn (Gary's dad) or speaking of his dad. The dynamic between Gary and his dad is irresistible and so tragically funny. I just love Gary's optimism and raw vulnerability. That combination is difficult to portray, but has been executed beautifully by Freddie Smith!
Kevin's character is very relate-able and Jared's performance as Kevin is very believable (not overstated). I really enjoyed the premise for his character joining the group.
The party was a huge scene pulled off very well. The romantic tension between Janie and Robert and also between Kevin and Haley balanced the general debauchery well.
Aside from all the great hilarity, the band of misfits do have heart which is evident in one episode especially.
Overall, great entertaining fun with originality!
Looking forward to more!
