You just answered your question. Solid show, easily one of the better adult animated sitcoms produced in the modern era.
It was discussed when it was airing. Too bad it got cancelled.
I'm glad it ended when it did. Too many good shows run themselves into the ground by staying on air too long.
frick off with that cope, the show needs a final season.
It did have a final season where it was treated as a series finale and not a season finale.
>It did have a final season where it was treated as a series finale and not a season finale.
again "it needs a final season". Season 5 is more like a penultimate season.
how should a show about a family have a satisfying ending anyway
>how should a show about a family have a satisfying ending anyway
just finish all the plotlines that were left hanging and 1 season with the new Hank would be cool.
Looking at Bill's wife I'm sure Bill in the dhow would have hooked up with Rosie daughter.
This way I can keep my headcanon that he and Bridgette would eventually get back together. Bridgette seem to get less psycho after she became friends with Maureen.
Bridgette and Maureen's blossoming friendship was one of the cooler developments this show had.
Bridgette summoning ritual was a list of food. Maureen calls her out. Bridgette then tells her what she actually needs, but still ask for one hot dog.
Agreed. I saw it had 5 seasons and wondered if it would run itself into the ground but it stayed consistently funny throughout. I wouldn't chance it with another season.
>I wouldn't chance it with another season.
but it really needs 1.
Agreed, it was a solid ending but I felt they were starting to milk some of the plotlines a bit and that it would've begun to run dry with more seasons
is the last season worth watching then, I've seen the other ones, but haven't got around to it?
Yes it is at least for Christmas Vince
His arc with his son is absolutely heart warming.
Also it's fun to see how sober him reacts to his neighbors
Good things don't get talked about anymore, because they are good, no controversy, nothing for people to yell about, the indoctrination is too far gone.
I didn't realize it got cancelled, I thought they just ended it, that explains some things, I didn't really like the last season.
Dead is better than being dragged out of its misery and get worst overtime.
Especially for cash cow IPs.
Felt like it probably needed another series. Had a lot to rush through.
The finale also felt a bit flat, Frank didn't deserve the shit that keeps coming his way, particularly in the final season. The rest of the family's life generally improved but he got fricked over. I know the whole point of the series is it being about a not great person who keeps having shit happen to him that he doesn't really deserve but it still felt like it could have thrown him a bone.
Bill Burr was probably getting vicarious revenge against his father.
>Felt like it probably needed another series.
Then in retrospect it wasted too much time in the second and third series.
I think it's ok that it did. I don't know how much more material/childhood trauma bill had to use for jokes.
Damn right it was good.
It got better after the first season.
It does suck that Bojack gets talked about a lot more or Big Mouth as the only Cinemaphile Netflix shows.
>It's so fricking good!
You just answered your own question, dummy!!!
It's one of those shows that dropped not because it was bad, but shit got so real I couldn't deal. I stopped watched at the end of S3E1 because Bob was in a good spot and I didn't want to see how he manages to frick everything up.
I do plan on finish it tho, but it's not a high priority.
jesus frick it's literally just a cartoon you fricking autist
>but shit got so real I couldn't deal.
is a cartoon
I feel you, ignore the haters.
Based empath anon. Art has the power to really move you emotionally, be it written, filmed in live-action, or animated. If a cartoon hits too close to home, it's totally fair to take a breather.
Some of the problems the characters go through line up with shit that's gone down in my own household, so I get were most people are coming from.
The writers behind this show know when to end on a joke and when to leave a tense scene up in the air to get a point across.
I think Frank's relationship with his dad is great writing throughout and highlights the show's strength of how it makes terrible things happening to the shows cast so compelling and relatable.
Initially you think he's just holding petty grudges against his father. Then you actually see how these things played out and it never really makes any more surrounding him. You also get one of the few moments of karma in the series, when he snaps at his grandson (causing him to realise all of Frank's stories were true) and destroys their relationship irreparably.
Also I like the dinner scene, where you can see that he's a broken man himself. Talking stories about himself but still insisting an "atta boy" from his wife.
Also the sister being a lesbian completely makes sense she doesn't want to end up in a relationship like her mom.
I get what you mean. I think what helps a bit is that almost all the cast are at least a bit shitty and also, Bill Burr just has a knack with rants, even when they're not designed to be funny he always does them in a way that helps you relate to the characters.
>shit got so real I couldn't deal
Literally me with Punpun.
The first two seasons were great, season 3 started to fall into wacky sitcom territory, season 4 was solid, season 5 had some good moments but it felt like it was running on fumes by that point. The show also seemed to think a lot of the side characters like Goomer were funnier than they actually were.
We discussed a lot when it was airing. It was so good, that everyone who watched it through was then inspired to leave Cinemaphile and go out and eat that NASTY pussy.
I think it's pretty weak as a drama. Nothing ever has real consequences and some of the ideas are stupid.
I hated how the series handles the wife (Linda?). It tries to act like she's really put-upon but her big problem was that she was bored. She's quite selfish a lot of the time like moping about how having children changed her life, but it never explores the consequences; does she wish her children were never born? What does that mean for her relantionship with them?
It frequently tries to play Bill as a bad guy but he complains very little about doing what he has to for his family. He never mopes about how he's never going to be a pilot (or the cosmic mockery working on the ground-side of an airline represents) and when he gets realy fed up with everything he response is to spend a few hours at a crappy tourist mueseum.
Wait, not bill, Frank. Was his name Frank? I can't remember the character's names.
It's Frank
I would say the mom trued to reach her potential. That she had a potential future before getting married and knocked (not necessarily in that order)
She tried various ways of somehow leaving her mark in the world. It ends with just being a mom is a way in which she can help new parents as her way of being good at something.
>he complains very little about doing what he has to for his family
Did we watch the same show? Half of Frank's character is ranting about how much he hates his life and everything about it.
He complains about people bothering him and his boss not treating him fairly, etc. etc. but he's always intent on doing what he needs to provide for his family.
The story only explores one side of it and ignores the consequences for everything else. It's shallow and whiny.
>He complains about people bothering him and his boss not treating him fairly, etc. etc. but he's always intent on doing what he needs to provide for his family.
You have literally never watched this show.
Frank yells and complains and then gets on with it.
Linda wishes her responsiblities didn't exist and she was doing something else she preferred.
This dichomty is never explored.
Linda tried to help her vietnamese neighbor with an abusive relationship. She ended up murdering him.
She invented to cabbage dryer, but didn't get credit.
Her next invention was a failure.
I forget what happened to her whole selling plastawear ended up.
I don't see what you're getting at.
I will always remember this show just because one of the character designers working on it has a fricking drawing of Jake the Dog with his lipstick hanging out in his blog
and cute Dahmer of course
>Eat me!
Maybe I will
Officer Dalmer "Remember Jeffrey some people need to be extinguished"
Now this is how you do dark humour. F is for Family was a hell of a ride.
I liked it.
Would.
How do you feel about her lesbian ending?
Living with Frank's sister and Mom doesn't feel like a win.
Honestly, for Ginny, ending up with ANYONE is a win.
Ginny is hot as frick and Frank's sister wasn't bad either, so I'm down for it.
Bridgette is a good-tier Western e-girl.
She might be my favorite one.
It ended.
Pogo best character
my dad died between season 4 and season 5 and
Damn anon.
Actually I'm sorry to hear that. I'm dealing with my own father who refuses to take eating right and exercise seriously
I really liked the drama and characters a lot more than the comedy
I had to explain to people that this wasn't just another 1 season adult comedy you would see on Fox cause Family Guy was taking in cash
Bill Burr's performance is really good as well, the yelling and over the top shit is great, but the dude can absolutely nail dramatic moments with a down to earth tone like I never expected
Sam Rockwells pre-Mr. Wolf acting roles.
normal words but 60s
that's why
Season finale ended the show with a wet fart.
Previous seasons had the final conflict be a massive strike that led to Frank getting fired, a terrosit attack in the airport, a flood that puts Bill in a life or death situation, Franks dad dying.
And the show ends with...Some last minute stunt that doesn't go the way Frank wanted it to go? Kay.
Too many deaths in the crew and covid fricked it. The last episode was meh but the final scene of Frank ignoring the phone to enjoy a nice meal with his family waa one of my favorite scenes in the series.
>not F'n good
