The Freak Brothers

I was so excited to watch this series. I even dug through my old collection of the original comics - most pages yellowed and musky - to refresh my fondest stories.

Woody Harrelson and Pete Davidson were perfect as Franklin and Phineas, sounding how I might have imagined them. The BIG disconnect was Goodman's miserable attempt at Fat Freddy sounding like Curly Joe from the 3 stooges. And honestly what gives with Tiffany Haddish as Fat Freddy's cat? Totally not cool with the gender swap.

I watched episode 1, 2 and just gave up midway through 3 with the stupid Jeff Bezo's thing. Fat Freddy's cat was smart, but not that smart. This could have been so much better if the writers were not so lazy.

I dont get how with such a talented cast you can have such a bad show. The writing and jokes are soo bad at times. When you see Woody and Goodman you think this is going to be great then see Haddish played out self n Davidson n think oh maybe its gonna suck.

I own a bunch of the old Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers comics, so I'm quite familiar with the characters and genre of humor, but this show is an abomination in just about every way imaginable. It's shockingly unfunny, for starters.

At least one reviewer mentioned that this show must be for fans of the comics, but I'm here to tell you otherwise. I can't abide it.

Really about all I can say for this show is that it pushes all the wrong buttons for me and I will most definitely not be watching it any further. Hopefully it fades into obscurity very soon.

Despite liking the three guys playing the brothers, this is some unfunny stuff. They all pass out for decades, okay sure, why not. But the jokes just aren't there. And John Goodman doing a high pitched stoner voice just isn't working for me. He should've played it more in his natural voice. This show is definitely for the fans of the original comic book which I'm guessing is a very selective audience.

Harrelson, Goodman, Davidson & Haddish are all perfect for their roles. As a big fan of the original comic books, this series is outstanding! I've outgrown my need for the weed but this series still makes me laugh. Too bad there are only eight episodes. Enjoy!
