The Freak Brothers

Harrelson, Goodman, Davidson & Haddish are all perfect for their roles. As a big fan of the original comic books, this series is outstanding! I've outgrown my need for the weed but this series still makes me laugh. Too bad there are only eight episodes. Enjoy!

I was so excited to watch this series. I even dug through my old collection of the original comics - most pages yellowed and musky - to refresh my fondest stories.

Woody Harrelson and Pete Davidson were perfect as Franklin and Phineas, sounding how I might have imagined them. The BIG disconnect was Goodman's miserable attempt at Fat Freddy sounding like Curly Joe from the 3 stooges. And honestly what gives with Tiffany Haddish as Fat Freddy's cat? Totally not cool with the gender swap.

I watched episode 1, 2 and just gave up midway through 3 with the stupid Jeff Bezo's thing. Fat Freddy's cat was smart, but not that smart. This could have been so much better if the writers were not so lazy.

Wow, this should be so much better... but it's a show that will resonate with (mostly older) people who read the creative, bold and unique comics. Unfortunately, we're also the ones who noticed the drastic personality differences in the characters, changes that aren't an improvement or an interpretation, but mistakes IMO that disrupt the enjoyment, especially the cast-- seemed to be totally wrong voices, or at least way different from how I imagined them.

Despite liking the three guys playing the brothers, this is some unfunny stuff. They all pass out for decades, okay sure, why not. But the jokes just aren't there. And John Goodman doing a high pitched stoner voice just isn't working for me. He should've played it more in his natural voice. This show is definitely for the fans of the original comic book which I'm guessing is a very selective audience.

The Freak Brothers made a Timeskip to 2020 and it works. I own some of the Comic Books and it's funny to see them exploring our time today. And with John Goodman and Woody Harrelson it has some excellent Speakers. If you like freaky Cartoons and Stoner Humor then this is for you.
