Fairfax

First I would say this might be funny to high school or college age kids but nobody over 30 is going to think this is funny or witty I understand the satire of the comedy but it just seems lacking maybe its my age But I could only make it through half the series then got bored with it.

This series has alot of situational comedy.

It makes fun of the New Generation while being in the know. Probably told by someone who grew up in the 90s.

What I love about this series is each episode is about 25 Minutes but there is soo much stuff going on it captures your attention. If you have adhd one could easily be distracted but since there is so much going on it keeps the viewer intune with the series. Who ever made this show has alot of attention to detail and knows how to package something to the audience.

Honestly the story line isnt that great but i think the presentation was better than expected. Id give it a solid 7.

Amazon-owned IMDb wants you and I to watch this show. Okay.

Show is 80% Gen Z slang and references to things only always-online kids will understand. Social media, influencers, fashion brands, and other things like that. The show doesn't take itself too seriously and pokes fun at how fleeting trends are, but also banks on viewers being aware of current trends. Talk about a mixed message. Needless to say, it will ultimately age like milk and be thrown away by next year. Even watching it as someone who knows what they're referencing and parodying, this is pretty lukewarm stuff. None of the "jokes" really landed.

Tl;dr: "Not funny, didn't laugh" (if you're in the market for new writers Fairfax showrunners, I'm available).

The other 20% of the show is actual character stuff, which is interspersed between basic adult cartoon plots. Random, unstructured bits of fantasy, surrealism, gross-out, teen drama/comedy litter the episodes. No unifying style. Just whatever they want to do for a quick gag that episode. The main cast actually does have personalities and quirks that aren't just "sitcom Gen Z child #1," so that's nice. Not a high bar to clear, but considering how terrible the show looks/sounds on paper, I'm giving them points for trying.

Animation is what you'd expect from a cheap cartoon. That's all I'll say on that topic.

Between the flood of 18-year-olds saying this is a work of art because some famous person they know voice acts in it and 50-year-olds giving this a 1/10 because they don't understand what's going on, the level-headed will recognize Fairfax for what it is: pandering to a specific demographic. It's totally harmless streaming service fodder. I'm sure the people working on this care about their work, but I hope they're not banking on this lasting very long.

The humour is there but it's around topics that make people roll their eyes, it's hard to root for people that you just don't relate to in any way, it's easy to argue that it's jokes around current trends or people so they are laughing at themselves and that makes it all ok because we are all inclusive but that's not comedy, it's just another make it loud and full of references show that tickles it's own ego. Lots of shows do this but just like an comedian and a normal person, they can say the same joke but only one will make you laugh.

Seriously, this is absolutely nauseating! When I saw JB Smoove was a voice actor, I was stoked cause I figured it had to be quality, but no! In fact it's, well tbh the best way to explain how trite and clichéd it is EVEN in its attempt to be satirical of being trite and cliché, is to watch the pilot-I mean, judge for yourself but be forewarned.
