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. Read full review

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

The show itself is very promising, albeit uneven, as almost any young comedy is, and fits neatly into the dark and very adult animated comedy brand Netflix started for itself with the great "BoJack Horseman." Read full review

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

The sadness and unrest in F Is for Family tempers the humor and keeps the show from ever getting too frivolous. The family of its title gives the show a hopeful core, but it's always looking around the corner for the next stumbling block, so mostly, F Is for Family is entertainingly honest. Read full review

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. Read full review

Dec 16, 2015

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. Read full review

This show is funny, charming and overall gives you everything you want in a animated comedy based in the 1970's, the animation is cool, the voice acting is great and this show is just so cool, cant wait to see what's next for the well written show.

A frustrated middle class American dad, raising 2 kids, with a frustrated wife who sells Plastiware out of her house. And a union airport baggage handler who gets an unexpected promotion to management after his boss dies on the job. It covers it all, class differences, union disputes, growing up in the old days, playing outdoors, and how family comes together. I love Frank played by Bill Burr, if you like Bills comedy you will love this show… Expand

Hilarious!! Love this new show!! Can't wait for Season 2! Roll on the floor funny! I keep watching it over, and I keep seeing stuff I didn't catch the 1st time around. (A++++++) I love these kind of shows that make you forget about reality for awhile.

It may have a lot of similarities to some of the classic animated series but F is for Family is a pretty fun watch and I really recommend it for Netflix subscribers.

The voice cast is pretty solid with some familiar names contributing. The 1970's setting does make it just a little bit different and of course the fact that this show is on Netflix can make it a little more raw and a little more offensive. Netflix was the perfect medium for Bill Burr and his character is just way too funny in this series. Obviously 6 episodes isn't very matter but I'd rather have a smaller amount than too much as that is a common issue with other animated shows.… Expand

Esta série é engraçada e charmosa, mesmo sendo baseada nos anos 70. A personagem do Bill Burr faz-me rir imenso, bem como as suas aventuras no trabalho. As músicas presentes na série são simplesmente maravilhosas!!!

Despite the annoying ads, it is a pretty good show. The format is unoriginal as hell, but it does good with what it has. The comedy is on point however the animation is pretty slow. Not terrible but not amazing

I am a big fan of Bill Burr and Sam Rockwell. I really did not find this show funny. The swearing is over the top, a bit redundant. The themes are actually boring. I noticed that this show did get a lot of positive reviews. I'm sure it will be picked up but I will not be watching.
