Central Park

Anyone who is dissing this in the reviews is either comparing it to Bob's Burgers or hates musicals. Those are not valid reasons to significantly impact the rating of this show. This show is some of the most fun I've had in weeks.

The creator of Bob's Burgers, Loren Bouchard, has created a brand new show made exclusively for Apple TV+!

'Central Park' is an animated musical series set in New York City where a family of caretakers who live and work in Central Park, end up saving the park, and basically the world.

The voice casting, including Kristen Bell, Tituss Burgess, Daveed Diggs, Josh Gad, Kathryn Hahn, Leslie Odom Jr., Stanley Tucci, and more, are perfect; the animation is definitely the same as Bob's Burgers; the plot is incredible; the musical numbers are phenomenal; the setting is great; and the characters are magnificent!

If you have seen 'Bob's Burgers', then you'll be recommended to see 'Central Park'!

Some people were turned off from the show simply because it is a musical. That's like saying I would have liked fast and furious if not for all the cars. The musical is a neat part of the structure of the show, and the songs are both clever in their lyrics and consistent with general musical theater tones. The show is clever and funny and unique. And while it might not speak to an array of people who just have no penchant for song in the show, for those that do, this is done well.

WORD OF WARNING - READ THIS BEFORE YOU WATCH THIS SHOW: If you're the kind of person that found the singing in The Bob's Burgers Movie to be in any way 'annoying' and hated the songs in that movie, then AVOID Central Park like the plague, as for you this is about 100 times WORSE.

If those of you (who find the singing in The Bob's Burgers Movie to be annoying) stupidly decide to watch Central Park, then don't say I didn't warn you, and I say have fun losing your sanity.

Let me start by saying right off the bat that this is an animated MUSICAL series. If musicals are NOT your thing, please...DON'T WATCH THIS!! I've noticed several negative reviews here from people who hate that "there is too much singing" in the show. Don't ruin the ratings here for a new, original series just because it's a genre (musicals) that you don't even like. I don't like reality shows so, you know what? I don't watch them and therefore don't share my opinion on any of them. Now... for those who DO LIKE musicals (like myself) this show, in just two episodes, has tapped into something that has not really been explored much outside of Disney animated movies. We've had plenty of animated series that use adult humor but how many have used the musical as their primary format? Not only is Central Park laugh-out-loud funny, the musical numbers are actually really, really good! Almost all the songs are infectiously catchy to the point that you might just find yourself searching for the soundtrack in Apple Music or Spotify (I know I will). Watching this I felt like I was watching a great Broadway musical, not an animated tv show. Please ignore the negative reviews here because they are speaking from their bias against an entire genre. This is a hilarious show with surprisingly well sung musical numbers that will have you rewatching when it's all done.
