Quintel’s work has grown up a little too. Women play a larger part here than in “Regular Show,” which was mostly dudes hanging out. And much of what makes the series sing happens between Walsh and the ink-and-paint person she inhabits; indeed, Emily is the most developed, lifelike character here.
-
It’s very silly, very extreme, and very entertaining. But unlike Regular Show, Close Enough consistently channels its random energy and silly characters to make a bigger, more interesting point.
-
While I’m still waiting for Close Enough to do something a little different to separate itself from the pack and avoid being lost to the archives of forgotten animated sitcoms, it’s a fine watch in the meantime, especially for fans of Quintel’s work.
-
Close Enough has enough sharp gags and snappy commentary on its world to keep viewers interested, even as it sort of overwhelms itself.
-
Without loving Close Enough, I found the show close enough to effective that the eight episodes I watched went by quickly. I'll be curious to see how the series and Quintel continue to evolve and mature.
-
Not every “bit” on “Close Enough” works, but even when it misses the mark with its broad sense of humor, I admired the commitment. ... It’s definitely a solid diversion every now and then when you fire up HBO Max.

Feb 27, 2021It’s mediocre but has some wacky fun moments. It evokes memories of regular show but now the audience is older.
