Welcome to Flatch

From where I'm sitting, those who are giving this less than five stars and seriously negative reviews are people who have only watched the first episode. I've watched all seven (currently available via streaming), and it has potential. As a rule, I generally give a new show three or four episodes before deciding. If you're a fan of Paul Feig's work, you'll know what to expect - quirky, absurd and off-beat.

This show isn't a dig at small-town America, nor is it a knock-off of Somebody Somewhere. I grew up in a small town, so it's kind of relatable.

I'm looking forward to seeing where this goes.

I wanted to like this show.

Episode 1 did little to impress me, but by episode 3, I'm charmed by the characters and looking forward to the next one.

By episode 6, I'm literally laughing out loud.

Give it a chance, don't compare it to anything, and be pleasantly surprised & delighted!

Give it a couple episodes to get to know these wonderful weird characters and understand the cadence and humor of the show. The reviews of Flatch on here remind me of early reviews of Napoleon Dynamite....this low-key kind of small town humor definitely flies over/under some people's heads. Overall, it's a fun and entertaining watch with some really punchy laugh out loud surprises. Looking forward to watching more.

I'm from rural America. This is real! The lack of familiar names & faces adds to the authenticity of the characters and stories.

I've watched several episodes, and nothing in this show seems exaggerated or contrived.

These are very realistic characters, living very believable lives, and it's FUNNY! TV isn't making good sitcoms lately, but this is a shining exception.

I thought it was funny. I guess a lot of people didn't like it but some of better rated things on here I think we're awful.. It made laugh out loud a couple of times. I hope it get renewed for a second season.
