The Detour

I came here looking for S4 info and thought I'd give my 2 cents. This show is definitely raunchy and twisted. If you're cool with that, then check out at least a full episode. I read other reviews making comparisons that I don't exactly see. Here's my comparison that others may not see. The level of crass and political incorrectness is similar to IASIP. The style is completely different however. (Nothing can really top Sunny for me). If you are a fan of IASIP, this will probably entertain you.

The kids in the show are very likable. I find most kids on TV to be "white noise" but not these two. However, I would not let kids watch this show. Watch first to make that call for yourself. And Jason and Natalie are really fun to watch!

I disagree with some opinions of S2. That was the absolute best season for me. S3 was a little weak although I loved the setting. I just read a Jason Jones interview that sounds like S4 has a lot of potential!

Random trivia: A lot of season 1 was filmed around Atlanta. (i.e. Salvation, Florida on the show is actually Stone Mountain.) Pretty cool for this GA girl here.

Love this show, well balanced in terms of comedy between physical comedy and wit. The "cinematics" (wrong word probably) and storytelling in general are creative and interesting. Stumbled upon it on Hulu and through season 2

OK, this is basically a family SitCom, but a Raunchy one. It's about a family, a couple and their 2 kids on a road trip.

Many jokes are derived from the fact that the two kids (around 10-12 y.o.) are starting to have questions (and misunderstandings) about relationships and sex.

The 2 parents are not model parents. It seems like they are trying to be but they constantly fail. A goofy father and a progressive mother who likes to get high.

It is good that the comedy is taking place on the road and not in the same living room or kitchen. In every episode you are to meet new people and experience a different set. The possibilities in a road trip are endless and the creators seem willing to explore them. I doubt this series would be boring or repetitive.

So far (I watched the 2 first episodes) the comedic timing is good but keep in mind that the humor might not be for everyone. It is raunchy and vulgar and awkward. This is not a "DR. Ken" type of family sitcom.

Natalie Zea and the rest of the cast looks good, the script is OK, the pace quick without being hasty and (always a major plus) it doesn't have a fake laugh track.

Overall: It's funny so far, but maybe its humor isn't for everyone. Because ...it is a Road trip after all, anything could happen. And with this particular family get ready for some hilarious situations.

The first two seasons are great, the third season is ok and the last season is pretty horrible. Overall a nice comedy that will make you laugh many times even though you might have trouble following the story that jumps all over the place.

The chemistry between Natalie Zea and Jason Jones is excellent even though kids are a bit annoying.

Also a lot of nice scenery between seasons as our characters travel to places like Florida, Cuba, Russia and Alaska throughout the episodes. Towards the end the story gets too weird but it's still funny and still gets the job done in terms of making you laugh.

This is the most culturally inappropriate show in the 21st century by far, but thats exactly why I love it, especially when everything is so politically correct these days, people get easily offended over every little detail, in a sense this kind of sensitive culture ruined comedy, comedy is satirical and cynical in nature, its a magnifying glass of truth and reality, the more restrictions you put on it, the less intelligent and creative it gets.

This show makes fun of EVERYBODY, literally, it makes fun of liberals, conservatives, atheists, Christians, governments, hippies, warmongers, misogynist, feminists, whites, blacks, Asians, even Native Americans.... and its genius and glorious, this is what equality really means, even the kids are not off limits, they curse like a trucker and its hilarious.

This show approaches the most sensitive topics of our society with surgical precision, the music is always spot on, the "We Won" conquer song and the Russia annex song make me laugh every time, the "Going Postal" song in season 2 perfectly mocked Hannibal in a respectable way, I know, it sounds contradicted, in fact this entire show is basically a walking contradiction, it deals with borderline depressing adult issues with the most immature humor, the scenarios are ridiculous yet oddly relatable, and it works, the characters are not artificial at all (Most characters on TV are predictable clichés), they act like people you would meet in real life without the typical TV filter.

This is one of the very few comedy shows that would make you genuinely laugh out loud hysterically, especially the first season, just keep an open mind and don't get offended, go watch this, you will not be disappointed.
