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.

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.

It can't be a coincidence that 'F Is For Family!' is set in the same year as the program it most resembles, 'Wait Till Your Father Gets Home!'

It has the same format, characters, problems and the same over-burdened dad leading the way. Younger viewers may see elements of Peter Griffin and Hank Hill, but Frank Murphy is Harry Boyle with a hot temper... which is exactly who (what) Bill Burr is!

Here is an avenue of comedy that is difficult to make an impact in. There are many cartoon family sitcoms and thousands of episodes to choose from. But NetFlix has finally liberated this genre by allowing adult themes and language into the mix. (I wonder what Denis Leary would have done with an opportunity like this 30 years ago!)

There are some great gags for the grown-ups... one of my favorites is the 'Castle Of The Elfin King' L.P. in episode 2 of the first season. All King Crimson fans should find a safe space immediately!

Bill Burr does a good job of exploring the ideas that Family Guy would have had if it were let off its 'Fox TV' leash. This is the selfish world view of a today's adult - cast into a world of yesteryear when fathers quietly sacrificed their lives and feelings for their families. So that's initially a rather odd concept to embrace.

And the swearing! Even though people do swear a lot in real life conversations, it's still odd to see the profusion of profanity in this program... but after a few episodes, it becomes more natural and less annoying.

Great fun and Bill Burr followers will be delighted!

I watched all 8 episodes in one sitting when it aired and I'm craving for another season. I haven't enjoyed an adult animated comedy as much as this in a long time. It has the perfect blend of dark humor and drama. The show does a great job of having you become familiar with the characters in a so short season. Hope the next season will be longer but this one was perfectly paced.

My only real complaint about the show is that the animation could look a little better but regardless it's very fun. I hope they take more risks in the upcoming season. Bill Burr and the rest of the cast are also just absolutely wonderful as well.

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.
