The Detour

The first two seasons are great, the third season is ok and the last season is pretty horrible. Overall a nice comedy that will make you laugh many times even though you might have trouble following the story that jumps all over the place.

The chemistry between Natalie Zea and Jason Jones is excellent even though kids are a bit annoying.

Also a lot of nice scenery between seasons as our characters travel to places like Florida, Cuba, Russia and Alaska throughout the episodes. Towards the end the story gets too weird but it's still funny and still gets the job done in terms of making you laugh.

OK so I usually don't go for the rude crude and dirty humor like this show is however i was pleasantly surprised here its a good comedy ABOUT FAMILY NOT FOR FAMILY its filthy to the core and if u are easily offended stay far far away from this show but I think its hilarious so far I love the kids and the parents alike none of them are really role model citizens but they all have their own special thing about them that u love the daughters hilarious better than u attitude the sons weirdness the moms hornyness the dads sweet attempts it all works together perfectly and it all fits great tbs knows a little about comedy and this proved it ps love full fruntle with Sam bee as well but I say if u are mature enough to take some sexual jokes and swearing I say give it a shot u will at least laugh once guaranteed

This is a great comedy.

The wit is very sharp and there are laugh out loud moments in every episode.

You can definitely see the influence of Sam Bee and Jason Jones style humour in here. Even the kids are well cast and have funny lines.

Sure not all aspects of the plot are realistic....but what comedy ever does realistic? the plot is there to set up the jokes, and it does that very well.

Funniest show I've seen in a long time.

well done.

This is the most culturally inappropriate show in the 21st century by far, but thats exactly why I love it, especially when everything is so politically correct these days, people get easily offended over every little detail, in a sense this kind of sensitive culture ruined comedy, comedy is satirical and cynical in nature, its a magnifying glass of truth and reality, the more restrictions you put on it, the less intelligent and creative it gets.

This show makes fun of EVERYBODY, literally, it makes fun of liberals, conservatives, atheists, Christians, governments, hippies, warmongers, misogynist, feminists, whites, blacks, Asians, even Native Americans.... and its genius and glorious, this is what equality really means, even the kids are not off limits, they curse like a trucker and its hilarious.

This show approaches the most sensitive topics of our society with surgical precision, the music is always spot on, the "We Won" conquer song and the Russia annex song make me laugh every time, the "Going Postal" song in season 2 perfectly mocked Hannibal in a respectable way, I know, it sounds contradicted, in fact this entire show is basically a walking contradiction, it deals with borderline depressing adult issues with the most immature humor, the scenarios are ridiculous yet oddly relatable, and it works, the characters are not artificial at all (Most characters on TV are predictable clichés), they act like people you would meet in real life without the typical TV filter.

This is one of the very few comedy shows that would make you genuinely laugh out loud hysterically, especially the first season, just keep an open mind and don't get offended, go watch this, you will not be disappointed.

I came here looking for S4 info and thought I'd give my 2 cents. This show is definitely raunchy and twisted. If you're cool with that, then check out at least a full episode. I read other reviews making comparisons that I don't exactly see. Here's my comparison that others may not see. The level of crass and political incorrectness is similar to IASIP. The style is completely different however. (Nothing can really top Sunny for me). If you are a fan of IASIP, this will probably entertain you.

The kids in the show are very likable. I find most kids on TV to be "white noise" but not these two. However, I would not let kids watch this show. Watch first to make that call for yourself. And Jason and Natalie are really fun to watch!

I disagree with some opinions of S2. That was the absolute best season for me. S3 was a little weak although I loved the setting. I just read a Jason Jones interview that sounds like S4 has a lot of potential!

Random trivia: A lot of season 1 was filmed around Atlanta. (i.e. Salvation, Florida on the show is actually Stone Mountain.) Pretty cool for this GA girl here.
