Moone Boy

First of all I would like to point out that this is a comedy based in Ireland please everybody stop saying "British comedy". I have watched and laughed through each episode. Padric is a excellent character i knew someone just like him when i was 12! Having grown up in Ireland during this period the music the details on the set all bring my childhood rushing back to me and even though growing up in Ireland at this time was not a bed of roses its lovely to watch it with humour. in fact i watched it with my Greek husband and he thought it was brilliant! well done to Chris o Dowd I'm looking forward to the next series!

I cherish when a series like this comes along. This is such a magical show. I had to watch all available 3 seasons in a weekend I just could not stop. The whole cast is wonderful, I was transported back to the 80's and it was a fun ride. I still smile thinking about it. Kudos to all involved with this project as everyone in the Moone family reminded me of someone in my crazy family. Being a Mom in the 80's of a son who was Martins age I so related to Deirdre O'Kanes as Debra Moone and the struggles we make entertaining and funny just to get through it. And Chris O'Dowd and David Rawle just like peas and carrots,, feckin great show,,, and great writing Chris...thank you all ,,such a treat.

What a gem! For those who liked "Malcom in the Middle" or "Everybody Hates Chris", "Freaks and Geeks" or "Scrubs" even, I think they'd enjoy this series a lot. It has that quirky family dynamic and coming-of-age story arc that's timeless and relatable, and kept me coming back. I cannot wait for more seasons.

It's very funny but also poignant at times, as it doesn't shy away from serious topics. It has the right amount of cutaways (i think many non laugh track sitcoms abuse this), and I love the occasional 80s soundtrack. The 'Goodfellas' episode had me laughing out loud. The only other show that makes me do that is Community. I'm so glad that it's on hulu, I hope more Americans watch this show.

I'm in on anything Chris O'Dowd and Moone Boy did not disappoint. There will be lots of comparisons to Wilfred, which I've yet to watch, but the Freaks and Geeks / Wonder Years family elements really sold me. It's only a six episode season, so jump in and try not to get frustrated by the Hulu ad breaks, of which there are far too many. The group of Dads just crack me up!I loved it when they were on the dock, and the boys rode by and yelled "queers"! BUT THEN…the one dad asked "Who's got a gun?"!! And the end, when Trevor's dad shows up! This was one of the BEST scenes! I LOVE this show!!

Another comedic triumph import from across the pond.

Moone boy's charm is in its heart and it's firmly in the right place. At its core, it's a coming of age comedy/drama about a boy and his imaginary friend. There are so many poignant moments that it may be deserving of a second viewing. If you were a kid growing up in the late 80's and early 90's you're more likely to get the humour but there's humour aplenty for everyone. I was never a fan of Chris O' Dowd (I thought his humour bland) but it works here and in the right places. The first series is the better as it dips in the second, hence the nine out of ten rating, still Moone Boy hits much more than it misses and I recommend it highly.
