Close Enough

This show is funny 80 percent of the time and hilarious rest of the time. Its episodes plots are amazing.

Close Enough has been licensed around the globe on Netflix: to be honest I didn't expect it to come outside the US for a good few years yet because HBO Max is an American exclusive platform as of this year. Thankfully the show's come out and it's what fans of Regular Show were waiting for: it's got the surreal humour alongside 'hard family sitcom' material akin to The Simpsons and Family Guy. JG Quintel is stretching his creative limbs like Adventure Time's Pendleton Ward did with The Midnight Gospel earlier this year. Close Enough is Regular Show's unconventional sequel and this universe is bound to get even bigger the next season.

If you like self-aware humour in animation and the occasional fourth-wall break, this series will be right up your alley. It's refreshing territory for adult animation that will surely be compared to other animated fare like Big Mouth, Rick and Morty, South Park and so many others.

This one will soon develop a devoted following in a short time I'm sure.

The show keeps reminding you that yey, you grew up with regular show, now you have hair in your balls, you can listen to no no words, social comentary and look at explicit sex instead of vague references to Pops PP (yes, I'm still traumatized about that episode) still great and a lot of fun so... yeah give it a try

Now I haven't seen regular show, but if it's anything like this I need to watch it. Close enough is an amazing show so far. Key word "so far" I would give this a nine because well, it's insanely funny, the animation is good and the characters are likeable. But I haven't seen enough of it to really get a good grasp of it.

Before starting, I must clarify that this is the second series that I observe thanks to a close friend's recommendation. After marathoning it in the last four days, it is clear to me that "Close Enough" is one of the best animated adult shows that has been released in the last year and I would dare to say that it can also be considered as one of several potential long-term hits for the newly launched HBO Max streaming service.

Although Season 1 has some bizarre moments and others that can be slightly boring, it stayed at all times loyal to the series' original premise and as a result, the final product turned out to be satisfying: excellent plot development and execution, very good and charismatic characters that you will feel occasionally identified (especially the audience that is in my age segment, 18 to 29 years), and funny moments that will make you laugh...And most importantly, you don't necessarily need to be a fan of "The Regular Show" to watch it.

The truth is I'm so happy that the series got renewed for two more seasons, since its great potential is more than clear. Now it remains to be seen if the future seasons can continue to maintain the high standards of Season 1 to the point of being a potential contender to other series of the genre such as Rick and Morty, South Park, among others.

It was a bet that paid off well in the end.
