Gripping story with well-crafted characters
... View MoreIt is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.
... View MoreIt is so daring, it is so ambitious, it is so thrilling and weird and pointed and powerful. I never knew where it was going.
... View MoreThe story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.
... View MoreI simply hate my life when my children have this on the TV. I appreciate the thought, but the acting is awful, the timing is awful, and the way they portray the characters is horrible. The two characters who are supposed to be the "good looking" ones are portrayed as airheads. I just can't. But, there's no cussing or sexual themes, so I suppose I'll allow it.
... View MoreWorst show I've ever seen in my life. If my son chooses to continue to watch this garbage I may have to put him up for adoption. Hopefully by tomorrow he will come to his senses. We are on the first episode. I'm 12 minutes in and I literally can not take it any longer. That laugh track is enough to send you over the edge. Is is necessary to play the laugh track after every other sentence??? This makes me want to cancel Netflix for the rest of my life. The fact that this show has multiple seasons Blows my mind.
... View MoreThis Netflix original is a sitcom, this being the sitcom with their original idea. Their first one being Richie Rich, with an interesting way of how he got rich.The pilot has a kid named Bowie go to visit his friend Jarvis at his house at Christmas, Bowie comes in and just begins to open his presents. What? A regular friend would tell him to stop, but then again this is the guy that celebrates every holiday in August. When getting out the usual present from Jarvis' aunt, it blows up their house, and that's the last time they will ever be seen. They go to the company and complain, the two get no luck and they through a pretty funny joke sue the company and now they own it. With this they began to hire people at their school, and i gotta say the actors in this show are supposed to be fourteen yet they look like they're sixteen to eighteen. They hire multiple people and out of the four to five, two are only qualified for work. All the other people are idiots, Bowie is hired because no reason. Even though it was his idea, he gets hired because of his 'come on' speech and that's the plot, we also get Ms. Bubkes because Candace needed a disguise so a cleaning lady would work so no one's the wiser. Yes, they make so many annoying jokes and not just that Bubkes schtick is saying random gibberish in another language yet that's the best part. Let's talk about the characters Jarvis is bland, he just the the text book straight man that is full of himself and is totally blind that a girl likes him, Piper is the only decent character in this show and by that it is very little in the valentine's day episode she manipulates a person's feelings until karma strikes back. Aster the one with the smallest bit of decency. He's the jerk character that insults people's outfits, because that doesn't get annoying. Geneva is one of the idiots that does absolutely nothing and is a generic blonde character, and she complains about how hard it's being her. We have Knoxville the other idiot, he's supposed to be the human crash test dummy and yet we don't see him doing anything that needs safe runs. The final one reminds me of the idiot characters of Schneider's's bakery, Bowie. That's the one that celebrates holidays in August and almost didn't get a job because i don't know. There will be another character that dresses like the character of Knickknack toys and gives this story so stupid. The episodes besides pilots are horrible, there's one that was an 75 anniversary for some bimbo doll and to redesign with what Piper's mind is more bimbos. It's not until he snaps back into reality and Piper wins the pageant, and then we get more insulting jokes for people that aren't bimbos. Most of these jokes on the show are basically the Geneva character is given a tasks and actually doesn't do it, the next episode after the bimbos is that Piper tells him that Geneva is so stupid that she can't tell the difference between a Volvo and a Lexus. Jarvis trying to prove her wrong, and then jokes that go nowhere. She acts like an idiot and proved time and time again to being a total idiot
... View MoreThe best thing this program has going for it is that it was NOT filmed by Disney. This is a children's program that parent can actually feel comfortable having their children watch. There are none of the annoying Disney clones in this one. No hyper active "mini adults" acting like over caffeinated people to tossing off one bon mot after another.This is a "Canadian Children's Program". This means smaller budgets and WAY more realistic child characters.I applaud Netflix decision to produce independent programming. I have liked many of their attempts at adult series. This one ... is just not so successful. The basic problem with this series is awkward writing. Not even the most talented child actor could shine with this amateurish writing. The characters are bland and not well developed. The adult characters are even worse. With all its rough edges, it is still considerably better than anything Disney has to offer.
