F is for Family

In just six episodes, F Is For Family will certainly make you laugh, but its dramatic heft is so unexpectedly huge that it might also move you to tears.

It’s a bitter, but deeply empathetic portrayal of suburban malaise and depression that also doubles as a very funny TV show.

F Is For Family is an engaging portrait of a suburban family in the 1970s.

The semi-serialized six-episode run has a dark, bittersweet quality, but despite some clever moments, F generally merits no more than a “B.”

The show is funny, but a not-always-subtle flip side makes the jokes funny as well. Inevitably, we view it all through both our personal lens and through contemporary sensibilities.

After six episodes, much has changed and the focal points indicate a knowledge of the deeper impact Frank has on his family. The first season even sets up beautifully for a fascinating and much-needed role reversal in Season 2, but the overall tone leaves much to be desired. Primarily, it's not very funny.

The tone is more restrained than outrageous, but Burr and Price don’t have a strong enough perspective to compensate for the mediocre humor. Their average family is a little too average.

Vi essa comédia ainda este ano de 2023, gostei muito da promissa da séria de ser ambientada nos anos 70 mostrando a realidade norte americana durante os anos finais na guerra contra o Vietnã Frank é certamente o personagem que mais cresceu desde sendo um homem rude com seus filhos aprendendo a cada episódio a como lidar com eles principalemnte o Kevin que mesmo errando é o que mais tem dedicação em ir atrás de seu sonho.

A is for Apple, b is for banana, c is for cat, d is for dog, e is for egg, f is for F*CK THIS SHOW!!!!!!!
