Working the Engels is a delightful blend of humor and heartfelt moments that truly shines thanks to the comedic brilliance of Andrea Martin. The show revolves around a quirky family's struggle to stay afloat after the sudden death of their patriarch, which leaves them drowning in debt. What makes this series particularly engaging is its ability to blend relatable family dynamics with uproarious comedy, often led by Martin's impeccable timing and expressive antics.
Andrea Martin, as the matriarch of the Engel family, is an absolute gem. Her performance is both endearing and hilarious, effortlessly stealing every scene she's in with her vibrant personality and sharp wit. The show does a fantastic job of leveraging her talents, turning what could be mundane family scenarios into memorable, laugh-out-loud moments.
Overall, Working the Engels offers a refreshing take on the family sitcom genre, mixing clever writing with standout performances. It's the kind of show that provides not just laughs but also a warm, fuzzy feeling as you watch the Engels navigate their chaotic lives together. A must-watch for those who appreciate comedy with a big heart and even bigger laughs, all thanks to the incomparable Andrea Martin.

Andrea Martin shines in this whipsmart comedy. It's a wonderful mix of love and exasperation and reminds me of another favorite, Schitt's Creek.
I'm really enjoying Working the Engels. It's really funny and cleverly written, but without being slick and fake like some sitcoms.
The casting is perfect. Andrea Martin is a dynamo; brilliant timing and just the right blend of insanity and understatement. Azura plays flaky in a way that makes her scenes funny yet unexpectedly touching at times. Benjamin plays dumb so letter perfect I would expect him to be the same in person. He has a vulnerability that makes him very endearing, even when he's being a total screwup. And Kacey is the perfect hub; the one sane character, surrounded by craziness. It's reminiscent of Arrested Development with touches of The Munsters, yet also fresh and original.
Some great supporting actors and guests, too. Loved Eugene Levy.
I'm looking forward to the rest of the season.
Just for the record, I do not work for the show or any of its sponsors. Just really a fan!

The film balances humor and heart with a vibrant visual style and fluid direction, making it a charming portrayal of the lengths families will go to support each other. A must-watch for comedy fans seeking both laughs and warmth.
It's a weekend type of movie. Prepare for lots of laughter and plenty of plot twists.

I loved this show. It was clever, quick paced -- and starred Andrea Martin! What more could any TV viewer want? I don't understand the low-ratings on this site. See it for yourself.
