Weihnachten bei den Moodys

The Moodys is a smartly written adult comedy that ended far too soon. I've always been a huge Dennis Leary fan, but this may be his best show ever. Impeccable casting and clever story lines make this the best scripted comedy I've seen in the last five years. It's a crime that Fox never really gave this show a chance. I think if Netflix featured The Moodys for a while it would quickly gain the same type of popularity that Schitt's Creek did a few years ago. I'm hoping against hope that FX, Netflix, or Hulu will come to their senses and renew this show like NBC did with Brooklyn 99. It's far too good a show to die after 14 episodes.

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.

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 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.

Best family show I came across. Every single character is perfectly cast. There are a lot of story lines they can pursue and this show has the potential to go on for a healthy number of seasons without declining in quality.

Please don't cancel it. We realllly need shows like this (considering what other networks are putting out.)
