Brews Brothers

I was nervous seeing a lot of reviews under 5 stars, but I was so interested by the concept I decided to watch any and I was pleasantly surprised. I ended up watching the whole seasoning one night.

It's not an incredibly smart comedy with a laugh every minute but I had a lot of fun watching it. I didn't love the league and stopped watching after season 1, but it seems like a lot of the reviews held their expectation to that because of the creators.

Sometimes the writing is confusing or feels jumbled, but the plot is so easy to follow you can usually figure it out. The cast dynamic really makes up for it. The character Adam felt unbearable in the first two episodes but by episode 3 the others start to undercut/stand up to him and balance it out.

I think this show had a rocky but redeemable first season, and if it gets renewed I hope the writers will listen to feedback because the concept has so much potential.

With 80% of the characters constantly being trash I don't know what sort of writer would think people wanna see that.

If you can get past the first 2 episodes it will grow on you.

I probably have a weird taste. Sure I do. When I saw the reviews, I feared the worst. Being German, I love beer, so I had to take a peek. But then it turned out that the entertainment value is quite pleasing. I'd classify the gags more as a teen comedy from the 90s. Mostly below the belt. But still a lot of funny ideas and puns (more modern setting). Actors are nice and meet the expectations. Characters are a bit one-dimensional, but not primitive. And something always happens, sometimes predictable, but always charming. So if you are into rude jokes with a pinch of cleverness you will be served above average here. At least by Netflix standards.

I've seen the negative reviews which are fair enough. This series is a bit like the beer they make, you need a few down before you get the taste. I found once it got past the 1st couple of early episodes it past the time fairly well. Some jokes are hit and miss but overall by the end I found myself hoping they will get a second crack and carry straight on with another series.
