Season 1 Review:
This show may not have set out to remind people of Raising Arizona or Fargo, but it earns the comparison by telling its own comedically surreal tale of an unexpected Job figure, a story of another ordinary guy fighting against extraordinary currents. We may not all be Hampton Chambers, but we get him.

Season 1 Review:
There are certainly funny moments in the first episode of Government Cheese, and we like the potential of the story, plus the performances of Oyelowo and Missick. But the first episode didn’t grab us as much as we thought it would. There’s enough good stuff there, though, to encourage us to stay with this show.
