Farzar

I wanted to like this series, hoping for a 'toon on par with the likes of a Disenchanted. After four episodes, I'm done. There were just barely enough good lines and sight gags to keep me hopeful this long. But the episodes are not trending upward, and the laughs are too infrequent to justify more viewing time.

I'm surprised at the low rating. With so many adult cartoons on NF now it's hard to pick one. I randomly watched this and found it really funny. Of course it's ridiculous too, but that's the point. People's be expecting too much these days IMO. Sometimes its fun to just watch something completely mindless but hilarious. Netflix animation can be hit or miss, I wouldn't call this a "hit" but it's better than a lot of the low rated reviews are saying. It gets funnier with every episode so it's worth a view if you are at a loss for what to watch next. I'm going to watch the creators other shows now.

Sincerely, I am not sure why they bothered to make this show.

It is devoid of anything original or engaging.

Make no mistake, there is some top tier talent involved in producing this series; trouble is the final product is simply bad.

While I cannot know what went wrong behind the scenes during the development of Farzar, I can tell you what is wrong with it.

The biggest issue this show faces is that it lacks anything resembling originality.

I quite literally spent the first episode listing all the other shows and movies that were blended to make Farzar.

You see pieces of virtually every recent successful animated comedy series stitched together to make this.

In that sense, this is more like studying a quilt, than watching a sit com.

Other issues involve poor plot construction, poor character design, and exceptionally lame jokes.

I kept watching this show hoping it would get better, but it doesn't and I was not surprised.

The flaws with Farzar are built into its foundation, so cruel as it may sound, this is a show that is destined to fail.

Now, we just wait to see if Netflix will be merciful and provide it a swift death or drag it out into a slow torturous one.

... all edge, no point. It becomes embarrassing to watch really quick. I guess Paradise PD was a tad worse, which doesn't improve this show one bit. The punchlines seem to be written by a teenager.

"Is this show more Futurama or Rick and Morty?" - oh, you wish it was something even remotely close to either one of them.

This is not Shakespeare.

That being said, it is a passable adult cartoon that leans way, way, way too heavily on crude humour.

It scratches an itch though, and is fun to watch like old Beavis and Butthead is fun to watch.

Wish the writers for these shows including Paradise PD and the like would grow up a little, the crude jokes start falling flat about 3-4 episodes in. The hero's journey seems to be a scaffold and not a proper journey. A lot of loose ends start piling up because of the way the writer's introduce new characters to tell a single joke.

Still a fun premise, and decent animation.
