In general, we returned well. Although it's sad that everyone, in the end, remains the same -twelve years later. It even hurt on "I don't think I can start over again" - after all, Adam Scott does drama very well.
It's unlikely to be extended, but I'd like to see it again.
In general, I don't understand why the series is almost completely unknown in our country.
So the rating of kinopoisk is much lower than the rating of IMDB.
There is a possibility that this is due to the fact that he does not have a single sensible voice acting (I compared new studio and 2x2 - both are very so-so).
But in general, it's a very pleasant series, not a masterpiece, but it looks easy :)
I came across this comedy quite by accident. I was extremely pleased to see Adam Scott on the list of actors, who became very fond of Parks and Recreation. Buying into the fact that there are only 2 seasons, I clicked play…
The first ten episodes were difficult. What the viewer will not find here: unnecessary nudity, and an excessive amount of matting (we all know which word Americans have in priority), and stupid toilet humor, and the mention of genitals is completely off topic. I understand perfectly well that this is an important component of American humor, but this is clearly overkill. There is still one plus this season - the mega—positive character Jane Lynch, who, unfortunately, was replaced by Megan Mullally in the second season.
The second season itself is also not devoid of everything written above, BUT it is much, much more successful. It feels like the writers have reviewed the first season a couple of times, highlighted obvious flaws and minimized them. If it weren't for the storyline, which, however, can be traced in the series, I would prefer not to watch the first season at all. There is much less senseless nudity and swearing here, but this is well compensated for by meaningful dialogues, vulgar jokes and rather funny situations — we are still talking about comedy.
I won't say anything specific about the characters, because, in principle, what is given in the annotation is enough — these are losers who continue to dream.
Despite the obvious shortcomings, the assessment is positive — there were really funny moments, a couple of worthwhile dialogues and quite interesting endings of the series.
