Grimsburg

Grimsburg is the strange tale of a detective, returning to the force in a town where every murder is a surreal experience. His ex-wife was raised by bears, and his son has an imaginary friend, Mr. Flesh (one of two roles filled with gusty by Alan Tudyk).

Make no mistake, this is no Archer. Marvin Flute is a thoroughly disagreeable human being (okay, that part is like archer) whose sole thoughts revolve around himself (and... again, much like Archer) and he is oddly good at his job (wait, is this Archer), but the cast surrounding him is equally as strange and tend to be less qualified than he is (huh... kind of like Archer).

Alright, so comparisons can certainly be made, but the feel of the show is different, despite those similarities.

The show feels more like a warped version of Twin Peaks... it is all about the people in the town, not the murders. None of the episodes are particularly grounded in reality, and much of the stories have a fever-dream like quality to them that sets the show apart from anything else on the air.

This is a show that will provide solid chuckles, but likely not belly laughs. Still, there are enough clever gags, nods, and Easter eggs to keep you entertained for a binge of the first season and into the second.

It isn't superb, but it certainly rises above mediocrity to be a decently good time.

I'm enjoying this new fox domination addition, the characters are very fun and the world built surrounding it is unique and different. Always a big fan at each shows ability to create their own spot in the fox universe. Excited to see what this show will be able to bring for ideas, characters, etc. The voice actors are great choices too. Reminds me a lot of a adult version of gravity falls for its mysterious atmosphere and different approach compared to its other predecessors. Enjoy that it's more of a "horror"-esq. Type show as well. Very excited to see what comes each episode, and to get to know the characters further. Hope for this series to have great success!

It's not Bob's Burgers or Futurama but if you're a fan of adult animation it's a good time! It's stupid funny and that's the purpose of adult animation. I promise if you need something mind numbing after a long day this will cure that. It has a woman raised by bears, an imaginary skeleton, treenises, and so much more!

Some characters are very try hard and the humor does fall flat so I can see why there are a lot of negative reviews but Jon Hamm and Alan Tudyk really make up for it. It has great potential so time will tell if the show will be a cult classic or a 2 season failure. Just give it a shot.

Overall just kind of...meh. It has an interesting concept at first, however it never really connected. Jokes are thrown at you every second but the vast majority of them fall very, very flat and the characters are pretty much one-note. It feels very safe and corporate. Unfortunately that has become the status quo for adult animation, but just because I expect something doesn't mean I don't want it to change.

I've seen some call this the "adult version of Gravity Falls" but if that would entail annoying characters, outdated humor, and the ugly animation we've come to expect from Fox, I think I'll stick with the non-adult version. It's disappointing that in a medium with so much potential as animation, we are constantly getting samey shows like this. They may take a different approach, sure, but they end up at the same destination.

I don't doubt that the show gets better but I'm not in the mood to sit through more of it.

The ONLY thing I actually liked was that hot dude with the parrot. I cannot remember his name but I liked his cheekbones and voice quite a bit.

I didn't care for the pilot although I didn't dislike it like many others seem to. It was just kinda meh and with a lot of what felt like forced humour.

~10 episodes later I must say it kinda grew on me. I'm not sure if the writing improved or I just had to get into the rhythm of the show but it's actually a good watch.

It's not on par with the juggernauts out there (Venture, Rick & Morty, Ugly Americans etc pp) yet but still an entertaining show with good talent. Just binch a couple of episodes to get into it if adult swim kinda shows are your thing.

I for one won't mind a 2nd season.

7 out of 10.
