A.P. Bio

It's a funny show. Not deep. Not important. Not filled with great character development or awesome story arcs.... just funny. There are lots of sit-coms that are popular that we don't find amusing at all, but this one is smarter than the average sit-com. If you are fans of humor with intellect, try it!

The comedy is intellegent in its own absurdist style. However, I've noticed a theme within the "1 Star" rating reviews; most, if not all, are saying that the show is "offence in this political climate", and should "cater more to today's political atmosphere by discussing some important topics". NOT ALL COMEDY HAS TO HAVE A POLITICAL AGENDA. Let's leave the politics on the news where it belongs. If you want a apolitical absurdist comedy: This show is for you. It's hard for me to see this show being a '1 star' rating by anyone. It's probably not fittingly a 10 (yet) that I gave it, but it's certainly higher than a 6, let along 1.

Seasons 1-2 are brilliant and make for hilarious and joyous watching. Granted, there's a touch of cheese every now and again but it always fits the growth of the characters as we watch things develop.

I'm a few episodes into season 3 and it's a complete mess. A real mess - how did they get it so wrong? From what I've just read in other reviews, it doesn't sound like things get any better in S4.

Do yourself a favour and stop at the end of season 2. For me, if they had stopped there, this show would be a solid 9/10. However, as is often the case with these things, not knowing when to end on a high has dragged this show a smidge into the mire.

To be fair, I am a huge Always Sunny fan and love Glenn Howerton. That being said, I love the premise of this show. It gets off to a slow start, but I am addicted after 3 episodes. Glenn crushes it, and the kids should develop as nice supporting roles. Not sure why everyone is rating so low. On the low end I would still give it a solid 6.5. Get to the third episode and you will be laughing out loud.

Seasons 1 and 2 are amazing, funny, filled with witty, great writing, and good character development. Then in season 3 it falls off a cliff. Seasons 3 and 4 writing focuses on being eccentric and quirky with limited character development and a complete lack of the jokes that made the show funny to begin with. No developed jokes and the entire plot of the show seems to lose its focus. The hilarious, somewhat degenerate content that you get in seasons 1 and 2 completely vanishes. Highly recommend just cutting your losses, saving your time, and stopping after Season 2. I'm curious how they screwed it up so much with the blueprint for success laid out from the very beginning.
