Sprung

I'm actually quite surprised by how much I like Sprung. I was recently looking for something mindless that I could watch when I was on the treadmill and didn't have to pay close attention and found this. I not only watched it when I was on the treadmill but it was so good I didn't want to wait to the next day to watch another episode so I watched a few more after I got done. The next thing I know I binged the entire season over the course of a weekend. It kind of sucks that it's only a limited series and they're only doing one season. It had a nice ending but I still think they could do more with it if they wanted to. I hope they change their minds and do at least one more season!

This was a very intelligently done comedy with goofy lovable characters. Lately there is dearth of comedy shows, but smart comedies have reached a point of extinction. Couple that with so many dumb shows with laughter tracks and racism. The camera style and the look makes it look very cheap (maybe it is), but the execution and the story just blows it our of the park.

It takes us to the crazy parts at the start of the Pandemic and explores different themes. Whoever wrote it and directed it is going on my watch list.

Sprung is all about lovable ex-convicts who are forced to bond together due to the lack of opportunities and the Pandemic with a Robinhood twist thrown in. Highly recommend it.

Hilarious trip down a short Memory Lane, Sprung seems to combine the style of the 70's with the angst of the Corona Virus. Think Raising Hope combined with the rustic Pittsburg vibe and you get the setting for a funny 4 person crime spree.

... but WITH Martha Plimpton, it becomes "must watch".

Seriously, this is one of the funniest shows in a while, but Ms. Plimpton's character takes it over the top. I can't imagine anybody else playing Barb this great.

That said, "Rooster" Phillip Garcia is the second highlight for me. His antics, though sometimes over the top, made me chuckle more than once.

Fingers crossed for a second season with the same writers and director.

Still not 600 characters? Seriously IMDB, not every review needs to be that verbose to say what a show is about. This is about Sprung, the show Sprung, Sprung ist the name of the show until 600 characters are reached.

Talking about stupid rules, this is one of them.

I loved it! Genuine humor, adventure, heartfelt moments. It has everything. Humor really stands out among other hundreds of series that only trying to seem funny. Could be the best project from Gregory Thomas Garcia yet. It was a joy to see Garret Dillahunt and Martha Plimpton working together again. Lets hope the rest of the season holds the same level of goodness.
