All About the Washingtons

Stumbled upon this show browsing the myriad of shows available on Netflix last night and am about halfway through the series. Sure it's not laugh out loud funny, it's not terribly clever but the characters are likeable and it is a pleasant watch with the odd giggle moment popping up here and there. Though it is more of an atmospheric show (something inoffensive playing in the background rather than centre focus) I will stick with the series all the way through... I mean after all, there is a LOT of rubbish and Overwhelming multimedia being broadcast into our homes on a consistent basis and it's nice to just relax and watch something that's not overstimulating.

The show is very family friendly and fun, meaning at some points, the humor may just come off as shallow -- to a more serious audience I mean. Personally the pilot didn't hook me, but I continued on (because I myself prefer shows below the 30 minute mark) and eventually I found myself having to finish it.

I enjoyed the season, and found myself getting attached to the characters personalities after a few episodes. Audience just needs to be a bit open to some seemingly forced humor and cringe worthy side comments.

Overall, family friendly, nothing raunchy (like most shows or movies that fall under "comedy") and very light. Easy to follow as well.

... it needs tons of work. I wanted to like it as I am a big Run fan, I'm also an 80s rapper and happened to look just like him. they need acting coaches badly, and some more polished writers... given the time to develop it can be a solid Netflix watch, for right now it's good for families with kids who are young enough to not tell when the acting is poor. but as an adult it was more background noise while I looked on my cell phone.

It have potential, funny at times, I feel the show would be better if it wasn't rushed. Also the story line doesn't come together hope they improve in the second season.

The main issue with this production is that if feels really rushed. The acting is really not great. And the jokes are really old. Feels like a poorly executed 80's sitcom.
