Weihnachten bei den Moodys

First off, I love Jay Baruchel and he nails his role as the sarcastic screw up, it's hilarious! This mini series includes a typical Christmas archetype of dysfunctional families that become more dysfunctional during the holidays, but it isn't over-acted or cheesy. It's fun, outrageous, and eventful. The ending is pretty farfetched, but the rest of the show makes up for it. Way more enjoyable than those terrible Christmas hallmark movies.

I'm only two episodes in but I'm ready to just watch all 6. I tuned in mainly for Dennis Leary (as I had not seen or read anything about it) but Jay Baruchel pretty much steals the show. Everyone does a great job. It's not sitcom, laugh out loud, joke after joke type of show. But it has humor, heart and is just enjoyable.

I gave this show a shot because I've always enjoyed Dennis Leary's shows (Rescue Me, The Job). While the pilot was a tad slow in places, episode 2 picked up nicely. By #3, I was laughing out loud. Not only is Leary terrific, the rest of the ensemble is hitting all the right notes. I eagerly await to see how the season develops. Throw a few f Bombs into the show and it could easily be at home on FX.

Wasn't planning on watching it because I usually don't care for sitcoms and though this is a mini-series, it's still a sitcom type show.

I am pleasantly surprised on how much I'm enjoying this show. Maybe it's because I didn't have high expectations. But I like it.

The first show I wasn't sure if I was going to continue watching it. 2nd show it was becoming more interesting. 3rd & 4th I really enjoyed it.

I haven't watched the 5th/6th show yet. But I'm looking forward to it. ;-)

I really liked the characters and the family dynamic. I wish there were more episodes coming up.
