Deadbeat (2014)
Better With Every Season
The first season was good. I believe it was the first original Hulu series that actually caught my eye. Season 2 rolled around and I noticed a solidified plot line. Now with season 3, I can't stop laughing. It's always been witty, but this is greatness. The addition of Kal Penn to the already blossoming foundation is something you simply can't make up. Whether or not he'll stick around (along with Kyle Braunohler) I don't know, but it proves this show to be evolutionary in acting, writing, and delivery.
All in all?
I won't be upset if this series sticks around a few more years.
The Ranch (2016)
Another Win for Netflix
Some corny aspects keep this from a perfect series if you ask me. If you expect too much out of this series then you might be disappointed. Danny Masterson as Rooster is by far reason enough to watch. The knockout performances from Elliot and Winger speak for themselves. As for the rest...
I think putting Ashton in a small-town is the hardest sell here. As a whole it works out, since his character hasn't been around for so long. The writing is fantastic, and jokes are well timed, however most people aren't going to put this together and just see through him as a country boy.
The Netflix platform is clearly experimenting with what they can do here. These series are sure to keep coming, and the freedom to bypass censorship is both progressive and captivating. Can't wait for more seasons, from this series and more.
F Is for Family (2015)
Bill
I've been listening to Bill Burr's The Monday Morning Podcast for a couple years now, and a huge fan ever since he became known on Chappelle's Show. Well you don't have to go far to find what is by far the best new comedy at the moment. Set in the 70's, I can still completely relate to the references in the show even though being born in '83. Maybe I'm just an old soul.
Let's just say it wasn't hard to sit through all 6 episodes without moving. Getting to hear Bill voice a temperamental father just like the world needs today isn't only fantastic, but it's just the start. The all-star cast delivers in a modern fashion never seen from these actors. Justin Long epitomizes his role as a rebellious teen, and familiar voices keep popping up at the best times to keep you laughing.
From the podcast, I knew this was coming as soon as it was announced, and been anxiously waiting for it to release ever since. If this show doesn't get extended for more episodes, I really don't know where we can go from here. ("If ya can't do the math on that one, then I can't help ya"...) If anything, I'm in awe of this having taken so long for Bill to sell, but then again he has been busy with that whole dominating comedy thing since he was "Punchin' the muffins!".
