Chicago Party Aunt

Diana showed us that she does have a heart and will do anything in her power to set things right for them. I'm also dead serious that this should replace The Mighty B on Nick rewind. Cause this show is an underrated classic. The Mighty B (pleas do not get offended by what I'm going to call it, it's true anyways) is a short-lived critical and commercial failure. Diana is everything Bessie should've been.

...Because if it was anywhere else it would've been cancelled after its first episode.

Another bland, flat, and uninteresting animated sitcom about a human train wreck and the more common sensed people in their life who try to keep her from going even further off the deep end. Where have I seen this before? Oh, right, almost everywhere else in a comedy, animated or live-action. Maybe this sort of show would have done well 20 years ago, but this kind of content is so common-place these days there really isn't anything new to offer for the viewer.

BEWARE - See at your own risk.

If you're not familiar with the cultural references (and stereotypes), it may not be very funny. But if you get them, it's pretty damn funny and there are a LOT of them. Quite creative, really.

I expressed disdain at the show when it was announced, mainly for being based on a Twitter gimmick account (yes, really) and for having that samey adult animation style. I finally watched it, and it's surprisingly not bad.

I'm not from Chicago, so take my opinions here with a grain of salt.

Voice Acting - 2/2. You can't go wrong with Lauren Ash. I loved her as Scorpia in She-Ra, and she brings a lot of life to Diane.

Characters - 1/2. Diane is a hard-drinking, partying hedonist with a disheveled lifestyle. When her nephew comes to live with her, the show sets up an arc about learning to care for others. Pretty interesting.

Writing - 1/2. Again, you'll only really appreciate it if you're from Chicago yourself.

Animation - 1/2. Yet another show with the generic adult animation art style. Like with The Harper House, you could make this into a live action sitcom and nothing would change.

Music - 1/2. The rock soundtrack is great, but it's another victim of the lack of a theme song and a generic title card intro.

UK reviewer and some jokes I didn't understand. Definitely an alternative to family guy etc. If you like rude, crude and stupid jokes, then definitely you'll find this funny. Hoping for a 2nd season thanks netflix.
