The Detour

OK so I usually don't go for the rude crude and dirty humor like this show is however i was pleasantly surprised here its a good comedy ABOUT FAMILY NOT FOR FAMILY its filthy to the core and if u are easily offended stay far far away from this show but I think its hilarious so far I love the kids and the parents alike none of them are really role model citizens but they all have their own special thing about them that u love the daughters hilarious better than u attitude the sons weirdness the moms hornyness the dads sweet attempts it all works together perfectly and it all fits great tbs knows a little about comedy and this proved it ps love full fruntle with Sam bee as well but I say if u are mature enough to take some sexual jokes and swearing I say give it a shot u will at least laugh once guaranteed

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.

Obviously this show is NOT for everybody, and the humor IS adult in nature ( or indoors ) THAT'S WHY IT'S ON LATE! This show has me constantly laughing out loud, I applaud the writers, actors, and TBS for putting on such a fantastic, funny program! I NOW look forward to the former Death Valley that was Monday Night programming. If you're easily offended, and weekly there will be something that will offend SOMEBODY, DON'T WATCH, CHANGE THE DAMN CHANNEL! If this program has one chink in the armor ( yes I plagiarized that from the show ) it's only half an hour, but half an hour I WOULD NOT TRADE! Looking forward to all the new episodes!

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
