Coming from a listener of The Adventure Zone -- but no prior experience with My Brother, My Brother and Me (MBMBAM) -- the show was a joy to watch with a rare fun energy that emanated from the McElroys.
The quality of the show production-wise isn't anything special for an internet show. Any effects done are relatively simple, but this is a minor gripe since the show's focus is on the writing (more like improvisation) with the brothers. Most of the shots are done from what seemed to be three or four different cameras, so it was much like a sitcom in cinematography, though it keeps the show feeling loose. In multiple instances, viewers can see cameras moving to affix to someone such as Griffin for a joke, or as one of the brothers move to make one. It's a nice feeling and keeps the show feeling grounded and real.
The McElroys' bring such a fun energy. There was never an episode where I didn't at least chuckle -- and only the last episode didn't have me break down nearly in tears laughing, mainly because it wanted to make me cry instead (which it achieved). The comedy kept me coming back. It was an amazing blend of vulgar, but plain silly humor that I enjoy so much. It kept me engaged in The Adventure Zone and it kept me binge- watching the series today.
I can't wait for more seasons. If there was more material to critique, my rating would have probably been higher rather than lower.
