Duncanville

I see a lot of 1 stars and I'm kind of confused. There are only 2 episodes of this show, and I think it's off to a good start. Sure it's first two episodes were decent, but it's very hard to judge a show off of its first season. If you remember Disenchantment, it's first 4-5 episodes were really not very good.

Regardless of that, I think basing this off of other pilots, this show can either find its rhythm or fail. Now, based off of that, I believe that this show is pretty good. It contains a lot of things that someone that is the age of the characters can relate. It's a feel-good (kind of), relatable and sometimes comedic animated show.

On the opposite side, this show can be (as much as I hate saying this word) cringe-worthy. There are a lot of jokes that really make me just kinda want to turn it off, but that's not that often.

All I'm trying to say is, I think this show has potential, however, it'll need a lot more work in order to appeal to everyone (most audiences and all of the people who gave this 1 star. Overall, 6/10.

Its like a Hot Take of all them main talking points of blog writers over the past 4yrs in one show. It tries to be F is for Family for 2020. But doesn't even have a quarter of the humor or writing quality. It isn't funny, because all the jokes are memes. You could write a scene by scene of how the writer set around talking about which point to make set up within the confines of Duncan learning to drive. So many check marks covered in just the first episode. I don;t get the 1 or 10 stars. because its not worthy of a 10 at any level. Or a 1 because that would mean everything thing about it was useless. It wasn't. The voice acting is good. The art style works.

Amy is awfull as Duncan, she should have done just Annie, but the show is ok, it's not so good so far this first season but it's not a disaster either, you can have fun.

Honestly, I didn't find this series to be as bad as some reviews say.

The jokes are a mixed bag, some are funny, others not so much, but nothing about this series is particularly terrible.

In my opinion, Duncanville would be better if it was a down-to-earth animated sitcom (Like King of the Hill) instead of trying to be a gentler, less extreme version of Family Guy, but I guess Mike Scully can't resist including these kind of jokes in all his series.

The same thing happened in the Napoleon Dynamite cartoon, but the result is somewhat more effective here. Still, I hope the series gets better on its next season.

It appears that every person who has one type of taste for animated shows are reviewing this one. It's not a superb show, yet, but it does the foundation to become an animation hit. The characters, while being mostly simple and nothing write home about, are witty and entertaining most of the time.

People that are complaining that there is no plot or character development are really looking in the wrong place. This is not that type of show, at least not yet it isn't. This is only the pilot.

Simply put, don't expect the next Rick and Morty or Big Mouth from this, mostly because it is neither of those two shows. It's entertaining enough to give a chance.
