Run the Burbs

I feel this is an entertaining television show. I don't understand why there are so many negative reviews. The show lets us see different cultures that co-exist in our world. It's nice how they share their different cultures. The show let us see we all are basically the same. Also the various age groups at their points in life are entertaining and relatable. I enjoyed the episode where the Father-In-Law re-evaluated his feelings on his granddaughter being queer.

Television shows here in Sacramento CA are white-washed. We rely on streaming services in order to see ourselves in movies and TV series.

The first episode sort of just left me meh. But gave episode 2 a chance, and as the various characters started to build, each episode became more interesting. The first episode just tried ramming all the various characters in your face, and just felt like a bad SNL skit, but as the episodes progressed started to see the various layers of the characters showing up.

It's not a perfect series yet, but I am more interested now to see how each episode will turn out and willing to give the series a shot.

From a performance standpoint, I think the widowed grandfather is pretty cool. I was a bit skeptical with the wife and the daughter but they both have good enough to handle the range. It will be interesting as the season progresses on the changes that can be expected in these 2 characters.

In all, the laughs aren't like rofl, but there are some pretty good chuckles but it's more to see the how the family grows through the series.

It's a fun show to watch. The characters are likeable. The opening montage, from the first episode, of carrying the groceries from the car to the house was hilarious -- very good physical comedy.

I do feel it's missing some tension. Everything just seems okay. The characters are all charismatic and a bit zany without any actual problems. There's no plain anchor character for us to relate to and experience the zaniness with. So that does make it tough to embrace it and leaves the stories a bit flat.

Run the Burbs is an interesting take on the hyphenated Canadian experience. It is unique in a way this focusses not just on the fact the co-leads are both culturally different but the tiny quirks that each of them have and has a lot of nuance. It is a sitcom. They are not stereotypes of specific ethnicities which was such a relief to see. They are an amalgamation of their cultures which is a beautiful thing in itself. I am glad that they show an intercultural family as happy and not as full of strife and only buffoonery for the sake of the audience.

I annoyed to see some of the reviews here. I felt like they didn't quite understand the show but realised it their own experience and it is valid. I am just happy to see people just having fun and a good time instead fighting against racism or colorism or some heavy topic. There is a time and a place for those things. I hope they provide a comedic and nuanced take on these things a bit later. The writing can be dull in the first few episodes and it is funny to see some white characters as one-note caricatures but brings the writing a bit down at times.

It is entertaining!

When I first watched an episode I honestly didn't like it. It didn't grip me at all. But as it ran on in the background of my house I found myself loving it. There's not a character I didn't end up liking. It's an easy binge that gets better and better.

The whole family can watch this. I love the quick whit humor. There's always a good family message but not overly cheesy.

The diverse cast was really nice to see. It talks about culture and diversity in a clever way without feeling forced.

I feel like if you don't fall in love with the relationships here you're just trying to be an angry elf....
