The Freak Brothers

Harrelson, Goodman, Davidson & Haddish are all perfect for their roles. As a big fan of the original comic books, this series is outstanding! I've outgrown my need for the weed but this series still makes me laugh. Too bad there are only eight episodes. Enjoy!

I was so excited to watch this series. I even dug through my old collection of the original comics - most pages yellowed and musky - to refresh my fondest stories.

Woody Harrelson and Pete Davidson were perfect as Franklin and Phineas, sounding how I might have imagined them. The BIG disconnect was Goodman's miserable attempt at Fat Freddy sounding like Curly Joe from the 3 stooges. And honestly what gives with Tiffany Haddish as Fat Freddy's cat? Totally not cool with the gender swap.

I watched episode 1, 2 and just gave up midway through 3 with the stupid Jeff Bezo's thing. Fat Freddy's cat was smart, but not that smart. This could have been so much better if the writers were not so lazy.

I own a bunch of the old Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers comics, so I'm quite familiar with the characters and genre of humor, but this show is an abomination in just about every way imaginable. It's shockingly unfunny, for starters.

At least one reviewer mentioned that this show must be for fans of the comics, but I'm here to tell you otherwise. I can't abide it.

Really about all I can say for this show is that it pushes all the wrong buttons for me and I will most definitely not be watching it any further. Hopefully it fades into obscurity very soon.

Wow, this should be so much better... but it's a show that will resonate with (mostly older) people who read the creative, bold and unique comics. Unfortunately, we're also the ones who noticed the drastic personality differences in the characters, changes that aren't an improvement or an interpretation, but mistakes IMO that disrupt the enjoyment, especially the cast-- seemed to be totally wrong voices, or at least way different from how I imagined them.

My husband read the comics back in the day and loved them. So when he saw the animated show on Tubi he was thrilled, me not so much. I was afraid it was going to be stupid and I'm not a Davidson fan.

With that said, it's funny as hell IF YOU ENJOY STONER HUMOR. If you do not, don't bother. But if you do watch now! Ms. Haddish as the Cat steals the show. She is side splitting funny. Harrelson is exceptional, Davidson surprised me...maybe because I don't have to look at his ugly face. The weirdest is Goodman. He just sounds wrong. I was hoping for a moon more 'Big Lebowski' type voice.
