This show is not for the fainthearted or those who get offended easily.
I would consider it more a satire than a comedy as it deals with a very sensitive and frightening topic in a "goofy" manner. The characters are not "trying" to be funny, they are just exaggerated stereotypes which, mixed with the situations they are thrown in, can cause a few chuckles and a couple head shakes. The producers are definitely bold without being vulgar or condescending, so far... That said, it is very graphical and uncensored.
The way the show is filmed really puts you in the action with the characters and add to the experience.
The actors are all very good in their roles. Tim Robin plays an excellent perv Secretary of State and Jack Black's performance is toned down but still very enjoyable. I also like the way the Pakistani family is portrayed.
All in, I really got hooked when I first saw the preview and the show did not disappoint. Through their personality flaws, the characters still manage to get things done and I just can't wait to see the next episode.
With some of the lame shows out there, I find this one very refreshing and I hope they will stick to their plan and finish it right instead of selling out until it's not worth watching anymore.
You should at least give it a try.
Enjoy. E.
