F Is for Family

The characters in this show are so multidimensional and well written. I actually care about them. As for the language, I find it hilarious. It gives realism to the show. There are many details of the '70s that are spot on. The coffee mugs, some of the wallpaper. This type of visual recollection, is great. This is the best animated adult show, I have had the pleasure to enjoy. It pulls no punches, and touches on some very real feelings and issues, adults and children face then and now. It's not for the easily offended. Thanks for making an excellent show. I certainly hope we get more episodes. With the quality of writing, I imagine this would be full-time job, and the creator Bill Burr is a comedian who performs full-time as well. I hope he can do both. This show is a great treat.

Looking for something to watch I stumbled upon this show with no expectations and really liked it. Its funny, has interesting characters, and unique animation. If you grew up in this 70's or have parents that did you'll love this show. The family lives a basic suburban life set in the 70's. A high moral and short tempered father tries to support his family on a small budget while also trying to gain the respect of bis 14 year old son.. The show has plenty of laughs while still setting a serious tone at some points. Don't watch this show expecting something like family guy or American dad, the humor is much more guided and even manages to teach small life lessons. Netflix Originals have always been solid and then have outdone themselves yet again with F is for Family.

I've been listening to Bill Burr's The Monday Morning Podcast for a couple years now, and a huge fan ever since he became known on Chappelle's Show. Well you don't have to go far to find what is by far the best new comedy at the moment. Set in the 70's, I can still completely relate to the references in the show even though being born in '83. Maybe I'm just an old soul.

Let's just say it wasn't hard to sit through all 6 episodes without moving. Getting to hear Bill voice a temperamental father just like the world needs today isn't only fantastic, but it's just the start. The all-star cast delivers in a modern fashion never seen from these actors. Justin Long epitomizes his role as a rebellious teen, and familiar voices keep popping up at the best times to keep you laughing.

From the podcast, I knew this was coming as soon as it was announced, and been anxiously waiting for it to release ever since. If this show doesn't get extended for more episodes, I really don't know where we can go from here. ("If ya can't do the math on that one, then I can't help ya"...) If anything, I'm in awe of this having taken so long for Bill to sell, but then again he has been busy with that whole dominating comedy thing since he was "Punchin' the muffins!".

The first episode started off a little shaky, but after you get through the second episode you will be hooked. Don't get me wrong the first episode isn't bad and is really easy to watch, I just didn't find it very funny. Don't worry though, as the show goes on and the characters develop the laughs will start pouring in.

Overall it's a great show that any fan of Bill Burr will enjoy. For what it is it's very well written as the show follows a story arc, which is something most comedic animated series don't usually do. I really hope more episodes are in store, because in my opinion this has the potential of having a very nice run.

Just finished binge watching the whole first season of this show. It is fantastic. The animation is cool, the voice acting is great and most of all the writing is superb.

Maybe its because I had a similar home dynamic, but never in my life have I seen such an honest portrayal of family life and all the anger and frustration that come along with it. The voice acting is also outstanding from Bill Burr. Most people that play an angry character can make it come off quite cartoonish, yet somehow Bill Burr manages to make a cartoon come off very human by letting the anger build throughout a scene or an entire episode.

I highly recommend this show.
