Grimsburg

It's not Bob's Burgers or Futurama but if you're a fan of adult animation it's a good time! It's stupid funny and that's the purpose of adult animation. I promise if you need something mind numbing after a long day this will cure that. It has a woman raised by bears, an imaginary skeleton, treenises, and so much more!

Some characters are very try hard and the humor does fall flat so I can see why there are a lot of negative reviews but Jon Hamm and Alan Tudyk really make up for it. It has great potential so time will tell if the show will be a cult classic or a 2 season failure. Just give it a shot.

I didn't care for the pilot although I didn't dislike it like many others seem to. It was just kinda meh and with a lot of what felt like forced humour.

~10 episodes later I must say it kinda grew on me. I'm not sure if the writing improved or I just had to get into the rhythm of the show but it's actually a good watch.

It's not on par with the juggernauts out there (Venture, Rick & Morty, Ugly Americans etc pp) yet but still an entertaining show with good talent. Just binch a couple of episodes to get into it if adult swim kinda shows are your thing.

I for one won't mind a 2nd season.

7 out of 10.

Ofcourse I've only seen one episode so far and it's not unheard of for things to turn around really quickly, but I'm writing this now so that maybe the feedback would be considered by the creators.

I think there are basically two approaches to mainstream-ish cartoon comedy:

1) Flat premise in which surface level comedy happens (Simpsons, Family guy, etc.)

2) Deep-ish, specific setting, in which the deep-ish specific comedy can occur (R&M, Bojack, etc.)

This however, is a deep-ish specific setting with extremely flat, surface level humor.

I'm not sure whether it's just a very odd combination to me, a specific person, or if it truly doesn't work, but I do wish they would build up momentum/depth before the punchlines.

I'm enjoying this new fox domination addition, the characters are very fun and the world built surrounding it is unique and different. Always a big fan at each shows ability to create their own spot in the fox universe. Excited to see what this show will be able to bring for ideas, characters, etc. The voice actors are great choices too. Reminds me a lot of a adult version of gravity falls for its mysterious atmosphere and different approach compared to its other predecessors. Enjoy that it's more of a "horror"-esq. Type show as well. Very excited to see what comes each episode, and to get to know the characters further. Hope for this series to have great success!

So I have been watching Grimsburg, every episode to date and that is now episode 9.

I genuinely laugh every episode, out loud..

It has some great actors in it. Alan Tudyk to name my favourite (Firefly, Con Man, Doom Patrol, Harley Quinn and Resident Alien (God I love Resident Alien)).

There are underlying threads throughout the episodes and series, won't spoil anything. Some quirky characters, which are great. I can never guess the episode content and where it will go from the start of that episode, other shows feel so predictable.

Give it a shot and don't take it seriously. It is not a doco and thankfully not reality TV drivel.
