Making History

I'll keep this short. I had a lot of expectations. I decided to give this a shot after being entranced by time after time, timeless and Oleander and then I ran out of episodes to watch. This is entertaining to start but loses traction quick...if you have an hour to spare, I'd say give it a go, episodes are short..btw episode 3 and 4 it goes from The Revolution to WW2 and then modern times and from there I ran out of opinion.

Personally, I found myself confused at the start. Finally after 10 minutes in. I found my grove. Surprisingly funny and enjoyable. If you have, a good sense for history, movie quotes and comedy. This show may just, capture your goofy/smart side. On my short wish to watch list. ;OS

First off: I'm very tired of mean jokes and people trying to be oh so edgy. Not because series like that are necessarily bad (they really can be hilarious!), but because I know you can be fun and clever in a more laid back way. That's one of the seven stars (if I vote below five means you're wasting your time).

This series is not genius in any way, BUT IT IS GOOD FUN. The acting is good, Meester and Lester perform well, while Pally will improve, hopefully (or maybe I'll just have to get used to his character). Some room have been kept for decent character development. The script and comedic timing is enjoyable and makes up for Pally's awkwardness. It's not The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, though I do get a few laugh out loud-moments in every episode. Good enough for me!

I guess you could watch a sitcom about a family in front of a TV, and that it would be OK too. But this is a far better option.

Fox was the wrong place for it. I loved this show and looked forward to where they would travel next (I am not a sucker for time-traveling stories) which is a first for me. The premise is hilarious. I like all the actors, esp. the 3 main characters. There's a good mixture of high- and low-brow comedy. I just wish it had been on a network that would have given it time to develop. Like most shows, it needed time to simmer slowly and for the writers to get things to gel. (I love watching Adam Pally.)

I'm a post-modern human being so watching TV-Series is, of course, one of my favourite things, except that shows containing a lot of earnest violence, tension, cliff hangers, love triangle situations, murder, sadness and/or a general abundance of negative situations stress me out more than they entertain me.

I'm the kind of person who enjoys shows that employ a "make-fun-of-yourself- sometimes" kind of humor, have relatable characters, plots that are fun to follow and at least one female character that's not just there to make the male ones look tough. That's why I like 'Making History'! It has/does all of the above. It's hilarious, and manages to be that without making insensitive cheap-shot jokes about gender or race! There definitely are a lot of jokes based on stereotypes, but they usually go against and not with them and I like that a lot.

I recommend this series to people who enjoy shows such as 'New Girl', 'Modern Family' and 'Parks and Recreation'. It's just really good for relaxing and having a good time, and it's also great for watching with friends that enjoy different genres of shows but all like a good laugh, since elements from several genres kind of come together here. As in those other shows the actors here seem really good at their jobs, and the terrible jokes are delivered with great comedic timing so that they are extra funny.

I would not recommend it to people who need sequences about time travel to be science-y and believable, think sarcasm is the best kind of humor and/or hate puns, because this show will probably annoy them.
