Quintel’s work has grown up a little too. Women play a larger part here than in “Regular Show,” which was mostly dudes hanging out. And much of what makes the series sing happens between Walsh and the ink-and-paint person she inhabits; indeed, Emily is the most developed, lifelike character here.

It’s very silly, very extreme, and very entertaining. But unlike Regular Show, Close Enough consistently channels its random energy and silly characters to make a bigger, more interesting point.

While I’m still waiting for Close Enough to do something a little different to separate itself from the pack and avoid being lost to the archives of forgotten animated sitcoms, it’s a fine watch in the meantime, especially for fans of Quintel’s work.

Close Enough has enough sharp gags and snappy commentary on its world to keep viewers interested, even as it sort of overwhelms itself.

Not every “bit” on “Close Enough” works, but even when it misses the mark with its broad sense of humor, I admired the commitment. ... It’s definitely a solid diversion every now and then when you fire up HBO Max.

Without loving Close Enough, I found the show close enough to effective that the eight episodes I watched went by quickly. I'll be curious to see how the series and Quintel continue to evolve and mature.

If you're in your 30s you'll likely enjoy this show a lot. It's basically a love letter to older millennials and late gen xers.

It’s mediocre but has some wacky fun moments. It evokes memories of regular show but now the audience is older.

Nah. ****, but I found the characters to be a bit nerfy and woke for me. Loved Regular Show and Flapjack, bit I barely made it through the first episode. If these are Millenial parents , were **** Looks like Regular Show, which is where all the stars went, but not near as compelling or good. I read one review that said it was RS bit with a point. The point of RS was to have fun watching, not cringe at a bunch of vegans and man buns.
