The Freak Brothers

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.

My husband read the comics back in the day and loved them. So when he saw the animated show on Tubi he was thrilled, me not so much. I was afraid it was going to be stupid and I'm not a Davidson fan.

With that said, it's funny as hell IF YOU ENJOY STONER HUMOR. If you do not, don't bother. But if you do watch now! Ms. Haddish as the Cat steals the show. She is side splitting funny. Harrelson is exceptional, Davidson surprised me...maybe because I don't have to look at his ugly face. The weirdest is Goodman. He just sounds wrong. I was hoping for a moon more 'Big Lebowski' type voice.

Wow, this should be so much better... but it's a show that will resonate with (mostly older) people who read the creative, bold and unique comics. Unfortunately, we're also the ones who noticed the drastic personality differences in the characters, changes that aren't an improvement or an interpretation, but mistakes IMO that disrupt the enjoyment, especially the cast-- seemed to be totally wrong voices, or at least way different from how I imagined them.

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!

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.
