Awesome Movie

I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

This little gem come outta left field, was not expecting how awesome this show was to become. F is for family is the cartoon version of "married with children", exception being that the families life is being told through the shifty seventies. The story revolves around the highs and lows of suburban life, lived through the seventies and its pretty accurate. The characters are all pretty likeable. From stressed out Frank, his metal goof ball son, to the cocaine sniffing hedonistic next door neighbour. Hanging for Season 3, definitely recommended for people who like animation, comedy and want a pretty accurate sense of the seventies.

For fans of the comedic genius Bill Burr this is a piece of heaven in an animated version. If you have seen him perform on stage you know his energy which is beautifully transformed into the struggle a rather normal family has to deal with on a daily basis. Teenager problems, relationships, the hated work environment and temptation, it is all there - dissected via the sharp scalpel of comedy.This work of art hopefully will be around for a bit. Simply hilarious and quick witted.

I'm about half way through the second season of F is for Family. You'd think walking in that you've watched The Simpsons, Married With Childre, Family Guy etc. you've already seen it all. Fortunately F is for Family takes a different approach. It's painfully honest and the payoff is hilarious. If you're having a rough day, a few episodes of F is for Family will turn you around. No punchlines or blatant references to culture, just a funny & honest 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!
