Rutherford Falls

This is not Ed Helms show fyi - they put him on the poster as a lead to get viewers because most of the cast are not famous and some don't even have an acting background. Truly, this all shows because the acting is God awful. Helms stands on the side of most scenes, making the odd quip or face, very funny when he is allowed in it but he isn't in it much.

His storyline in season 2 keeps him isolated from the main story and out for the centre of the action. I'd imagine that gap will only grow as time goes on now we have this stupid baby plot which was so cheesy and unnecessary. Maybe he likes being out of the action It's probably easy money but hedoesn't seem particularly invested in the character being more than a caricature

The cast is less than average and the plots are weak at best. It could be about the daily life of a town and be funny but it's about nothing much and it's hard to find a character to really support.

Huge shout of to LA comedian Beth Stelling who is super under utilised as Peggy Fish but should be a lead character/ love interest for Nathan instead of the terrible "romance" storyline he is in with the pregnant girl.

It should work it is written by the amazing Mike Schur so it should be great but it's singular focus on social commentary largely means it misses actual humour. The second season is slightly better than the first one, finding some funnier moments and new ideas but not much.

I will absolutely watch the next Helms and Schur projects individually but this one isn't strong enough to compete with current tv shows.

This is the first comedy that isn't at the expense of a marginalized group. It's funny and cute. Ed Helms is whatever but the other actors and actresses are great!

Watched the first three freebies, was on the fence. Decided to go with the subscription just to finish the season. Super-glad we did-it really picks up, gains the kind of momentum that's left us eager for a second season so we can see how things work out for characters we've come to care about. If they don't renew, even after Michael Greyeyes'.win at the Canadian Screen Awards? I can't imagine keeping up with the subscription-Rutherford Falls is our sole reason for subscribing,

It's not bad.

First off Bobbi is cool love him and Terry what a sexy goofy but smoldering man I very much like his character.

It's kind of an odd show but it grows on you it's funny an good I think everyone should like it Reagan is very relatable she's a good main character and as always love the cute Ed helms all in all totally give it a watch and enjoy.

Let's start by saying I think Ed Helms is super talented and I appriciate the effort, Helms, Shur and the writers wanting to do something different.

Sadly like a lot of reviews on here something is missing as in effort to almost be super diverse in every category they have forgotten to cast better actors and add better writers to the room.

Michael Greyeyes, Ed Helms and the very underused Beth Stelling are all fantastic but the rest of the cast are exceptionally hit and miss and as a result so are the plots and the level of acting in varying episodes. Sometimes it is hilarious, satirical and heartwarming and sometimes it's a bit like a school play.

Season 2 is much better than season 1 with a range of much funnier scenes but the awful romance between Nathan and Dedria is so desperately cringeworthy and contrived for a show that is largely trying to be at the forefront of something, the whole set up seems so bad. Normally Ed has so much chrisma he can pull off a romance and you root for the two characters but these two have NO chemistry and the whole story seems forced to give Nathan a plot for the season.it's all very odd and disjointed. The show desperately needs to clean house for season 3 shifting out some current cast for new characters that can support its growth.

It can be developed but they need to add to the cast and bring more established names in to help it progress. Truth be told I should have given it a 6 but I love Ed Helms so much and don't want to bash a show that is trying to do a good thing and clearly has a good heart but if you are not a Native American or an Ed Helms fan you may struggle to stay with it,
