Summary Baggage handler Frank Murphy (Bill Burr) and his wife (Laura Dern) raise their three children (Justin Long, Haley Reinhart) in 1973 in the animated comedy created by Bill Burr and Michael Price.

In just six episodes, F Is For Family will certainly make you laugh, but its dramatic heft is so unexpectedly huge that it might also move you to tears.

It’s a bitter, but deeply empathetic portrayal of suburban malaise and depression that also doubles as a very funny TV show.

Funniest TV show in recente times, besta animated show since Futurama. There's nothing on TV funy as this show. A must watch.

What starts as a simple show about life in the 70's gradually turns into a powerful study on male generational trauma. The first season starts slow, but every subsequent season improves on the last, culminating in one of the best finales I've seen in an animated series. Highly recommended if you have the patience to let the show find its footing.

F Is For Family is an engaging portrait of a suburban family in the 1970s.

The semi-serialized six-episode run has a dark, bittersweet quality, but despite some clever moments, F generally merits no more than a “B.”

The show is funny, but a not-always-subtle flip side makes the jokes funny as well. Inevitably, we view it all through both our personal lens and through contemporary sensibilities.

After six episodes, much has changed and the focal points indicate a knowledge of the deeper impact Frank has on his family. The first season even sets up beautifully for a fascinating and much-needed role reversal in Season 2, but the overall tone leaves much to be desired. Primarily, it's not very funny.

The tone is more restrained than outrageous, but Burr and Price don’t have a strong enough perspective to compensate for the mediocre humor. Their average family is a little too average.

Vi essa comédia ainda este ano de 2023, gostei muito da promissa da séria de ser ambientada nos anos 70 mostrando a realidade norte americana durante os anos finais na guerra contra o Vietnã Frank é certamente o personagem que mais cresceu desde sendo um homem rude com seus filhos aprendendo a cada episódio a como lidar com eles principalemnte o Kevin que mesmo errando é o que mais tem dedicação em ir atrás de seu sonho.
