Duncanville

Its like a Hot Take of all them main talking points of blog writers over the past 4yrs in one show. It tries to be F is for Family for 2020. But doesn't even have a quarter of the humor or writing quality. It isn't funny, because all the jokes are memes. You could write a scene by scene of how the writer set around talking about which point to make set up within the confines of Duncan learning to drive. So many check marks covered in just the first episode. I don;t get the 1 or 10 stars. because its not worthy of a 10 at any level. Or a 1 because that would mean everything thing about it was useless. It wasn't. The voice acting is good. The art style works.

It appears that every person who has one type of taste for animated shows are reviewing this one. It's not a superb show, yet, but it does the foundation to become an animation hit. The characters, while being mostly simple and nothing write home about, are witty and entertaining most of the time.

People that are complaining that there is no plot or character development are really looking in the wrong place. This is not that type of show, at least not yet it isn't. This is only the pilot.

Simply put, don't expect the next Rick and Morty or Big Mouth from this, mostly because it is neither of those two shows. It's entertaining enough to give a chance.

"Duncanville" is a simple series with a simple plot. It tries to be entertaining and relatable to young people. Does it get to do it? Yes. The series has a humor that knows where to stop, and characters whose personalities you can see in yourself. But they are a bit empty sometimes. Some jokes aren't good and some topics are just unusual. The first two episodes are the best ones to me, but I think the story they present is forgotten easily some episodes later. Duncan is a funny teenager with a female voice, it's nice. The other characters are fine, but they could be working better. The plot doesn't seem to, like, exist or advance through the first season, but there's so much more to watch yet. I hope it gets better and finds its own essence, because it doesn't look so different from any other "adult" series. However, "Duncanville" is imperfect and incomplete, but it's funny as the average show you watch once in a while. It could be so much better, I hope it's just a matter of time.

After watching the pilot, I gave this show a 5/10. But after watching episodes 3 and 4, I feel like Duncanville is beginning to find its footing. It's got great jokes, the characters are interesting, and the stories are unique. I'm eager to watch more.

Honestly, I didn't find this series to be as bad as some reviews say.

The jokes are a mixed bag, some are funny, others not so much, but nothing about this series is particularly terrible.

In my opinion, Duncanville would be better if it was a down-to-earth animated sitcom (Like King of the Hill) instead of trying to be a gentler, less extreme version of Family Guy, but I guess Mike Scully can't resist including these kind of jokes in all his series.

The same thing happened in the Napoleon Dynamite cartoon, but the result is somewhat more effective here. Still, I hope the series gets better on its next season.
