Reviews

dubwize After ten episodes I can fairly assess this clever series. Hapless and well meaning stoner parents attempt a family vacation that shows absurd politically incorrect and overly correct scenarios in equal portion.The First season grows on you steadily and if by the Third episode you still give it ago, you will be glad you did.The dysfunctional parental absurdity and the switched on kids adds to some funny moments and left me in hysterical fits of laughter often. Some very funny scenes, dialogue and delivery.Definitely now a fan and would recommend taking episodes slowly. Binge watching does not do this justice.Update Feb 26th 2018 - After watching the second season I must say the writers and Producers are indeed brilliantly clever to weave such a story with depth and humour. Best TV Comedy since THE BRINK. Definitely well worth a watch. Many times I burst into laughter during season two. It JUST keeps getting better. Even the kids Jareb and Deliliah are wonderful actors who bring an aspect to this series rarely seen in other TV shows.

sherlock-419-87841 This show is so funny and so witty. And it's not just jokes, there is a story that is fun to follow.I love the meta movie references this show does. Last year we saw James Cromwell doing his line from Babe. This season, with Graham Greene in the show, we've got Natalie doing his line from Dances With Wolves in his voice. So many easter eggs, I'm sure I've missed a few. The Detour is a work of art and Samantha and Jason should be proud of their baby.

chrisman-24354 I was looking for a new show to watch and stumbled upon this show and I found it hilarious and I will say that I love the characters however I don't think that it is a very good family choice due to constant swearing and sexual content from the kids learning about sex to all out sexual content but it is a very good time and hilarious for the right audience I recommend it just not for families but I say give it a chance and you might love it

the giant This is a great comedy. The wit is very sharp and there are laugh out loud moments in every episode. You can definitely see the influence of Sam Bee and Jason Jones style humour in here. Even the kids are well cast and have funny lines.Sure not all aspects of the plot are realistic....but what comedy ever does realistic? the plot is there to set up the jokes, and it does that very well.Funniest show I've seen in a long time. well done.
