Grimsburg

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.

Overall just kind of...meh. It has an interesting concept at first, however it never really connected. Jokes are thrown at you every second but the vast majority of them fall very, very flat and the characters are pretty much one-note. It feels very safe and corporate. Unfortunately that has become the status quo for adult animation, but just because I expect something doesn't mean I don't want it to change.

I've seen some call this the "adult version of Gravity Falls" but if that would entail annoying characters, outdated humor, and the ugly animation we've come to expect from Fox, I think I'll stick with the non-adult version. It's disappointing that in a medium with so much potential as animation, we are constantly getting samey shows like this. They may take a different approach, sure, but they end up at the same destination.

I don't doubt that the show gets better but I'm not in the mood to sit through more of it.

The ONLY thing I actually liked was that hot dude with the parrot. I cannot remember his name but I liked his cheekbones and voice quite a bit.

It takes the Noir detective and cartoonifys all the gross things about them. I wouldn't say this show is for everyone. It's an odd humor type. It's like if Bojack, Smiling Friends, and Duncanville had some crazy baby. Good for some chuckles and you still get to follow a plot. I'd give it a good 7-8. The whole show is kind of beating a bunch of dead horses with the randomness of old YouTube. It simultaneously parodies a bunch of tropes and detective movies. There's random subplots. It is kind of a mess, but in a way I find entertaining. It's almost like someone tried to cram as many jokes as possible into every scene. I'd say give it a watch if you're a general fan of sitcom type cartoons. Don't go into it thinking of something like Archer.

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.

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.
