I am only reviewing this show to provide additional perspectives because most of the reviews here rated this show pretty harshly.
This show is probably a 7 or 8. However, a 3 point whatever rating is insanely low for a show with a pretty good start. It's funny, but so far it's not laugh out loud funny. It is entertaining for sure, and I am looking forward to the next episode.
I imagine that this show will build develop these characters as it already shows great potential for being funny and heartfelt. The voice work is outstanding. I could listen to Kristen Wiig and Maya Rudolph argue about Crystal Light all day!
If you grew up broke, there might be a lot of aspects of this show that are familiar to you. I liked that it was relatable in a lot of ways.
UPDATE: I've now seen 8 episodes and I can't get enough of this show! The voice work continues to put a smile on my face, but the biggest attraction for me is the family's love for each other.
I liked Wayne from the start (he's possibly my favorite character along with Louise), but watching the story of how this family supports each other through it all has made me rewatch these episodes more times than I can count.
This show gets funnier and funnier (especially anything involving Maya Rudolph's character Betty), and it is almost painfully relatable. The stories of utilities getting cut off (last time our water got disconnected when I was growing up was just days before Thanksgiving and we couldn't pay all of those fees for a while), and I know all too well the process of putting $2 on one card, and $3 on another.
I adore this family, love how much the show makes me laugh, and I'm super impressed by its rewatchability (is that even a word? Well, it is today!)
