WORD OF WARNING - READ THIS BEFORE YOU WATCH THIS SHOW: If you're the kind of person that found the singing in The Bob's Burgers Movie to be in any way 'annoying' and hated the songs in that movie, then AVOID Central Park like the plague, as for you this is about 100 times WORSE.
If those of you (who find the singing in The Bob's Burgers Movie to be annoying) stupidly decide to watch Central Park, then don't say I didn't warn you, and I say have fun losing your sanity.

Some people were turned off from the show simply because it is a musical. That's like saying I would have liked fast and furious if not for all the cars. The musical is a neat part of the structure of the show, and the songs are both clever in their lyrics and consistent with general musical theater tones. The show is clever and funny and unique. And while it might not speak to an array of people who just have no penchant for song in the show, for those that do, this is done well.
The musical element is an absolute stand out, the casting is perfect, the episodic stories are good as well as the park vs development villain storyline that ties it together. Smooth quality animation and natural dialogue, with all the silly quirkiness you'd expect from a show animated like Bob's Burgers. It's early but I feel confident to recommend the watch.
People seem annoyed that the show is a musical and it uses the same animation as Bob's Burgers.
Firstly, it was made by one of the creators of Bob's Burgers so it seems obvious to me they would use the same animation style, all of Matt Groening's shows (Simpsons, Futurama, Disenchantment) all use the same animation style and I don't know why it should even be an issue anyway.
Secondly, it is very clearly a musical but this still surprises people. If you strongly dislike musicals the show isn't for you and that's okay but if you don't mind them then I'd say give it a go. It's a fun show with great characters, a supportive loving family, Daveed Diggs and some great stories. I believe this show deserves a much higher rating than the one it has. I guess people just feel very strongly about singing...?
Okay, as a Bob's burgers fan, I have to say I really enjoy the whole awkward-but-loving family backstory and the songs are catchy as hell. Season one had a fantastic backstory / plot that made the whole thing fast paced and truly amazing, but somehow they dropped it in season 2 and even though I love the characters, my sparkling joy has been tainted and is slowly wearing me out. Come on Central Park, find back your soul !
