However the town, its people and surroundings have a lot of mysteries. Season 1 sets up the characters, town and lore. While I find the first few episodes slightly weaker it got amazing and it won me easily over. The stories set up a general arc while dealing with the characters and their relations. Each one is relatable in their struggles, worldviews and quirks. I rarely liked a whole cast this much with Dipper, Mabel, Stan, Wendy, Soos, Gideon, Bill and the whole townspeople. The mixture of good story arcs and great likable characters are a strength of the show (Or for every good show to be precise). The humor and entertainment is top notch. Presentation wise the animations, art style and voice actors are amazingly good. I have nothing to complain. Overall I was curious first and was fully convinced fast. A great show and as much for adults as for children. An easy 10/10 for me.… Expand

    The greatest cartoon of all time. It starts and ends perfectly. There's filler at times, but the filler doesn't even really bother me. It just means that I get to spend more time with these wacky characters in this crazy world called Gravity Falls.

    It was really great that different events were handled independently in each episode and I liked that a few events evolved from the background to the whole season. In short, it was a great production that you will have fun.

    Gravity Falls is by far one of the best cartoons ever made. I do not understand why they had to end the series, only to start making awful cartoons like Pickle and Peanut. Here are some reasons why I like this so much.

    The Story. This series has the best story ever made (for a cartoon, of course) and will not disappoint. Almost everything in the story adds up, and the ending will take everyone by surprise.

    The Animation. The animation in Gravity Falls is some of the best in Disney history. I have no clue as to why people complain about this aspect of the series, as in my opinion, it is one of the biggest reasons why this movie deserves a 10/10 score.

    Gravity Falls is a beautiful story about family and childhood. Unlike most cartoons, it has a great, "long term" plot, filled with mystery, suspense and surprises, with a great finale. It also has a lot of clever (and sometimes dark) humor, well developed multidimensional characters, beautiful art, a catchy theme song, and cryptograms with fun hidden messages.

    What's most surprising    Gravity Falls is a beautiful story about family and childhood.

It also has a lot of clever (and sometimes dark) humor, well developed multidimensional characters, beautiful art, a catchy theme song, and cryptograms with fun hidden messages.

    What's most surprising about this show is it's emotional depth. Set in just one summer, and with only 40 episodes, as the show gets closer to its end, the protagonists (twins Dipper and Mabel) realize that childhood comes to an end, and face fears and hopes about their future. All this builds up to an emotional conclusion where a tearful viewer accepts that Dipper and Mabel's story also has to come to an end.

    The show has a rich lore made up by books and other canon sources, powered by Alex Hirsch's creativity and close relation to the fandom, that can give you hours of additional fun.

    Suitable for teens and adults. Any past time is supposed to have been better, but I believe this show is better than anything I saw in my childhood.    … Expand

The show deals with issues that wouldn't be seen in other kid's shows and constructs jokes and situations that would go over many children's heads. Alex Hirsch, the show's creator and primary voice actor, has come up with some very interesting and well constructed characters.

    If you are a fan of Rick and Morty, I would definitely recommend Gravity Falls. Although way more child friendly than Rick and Morty, Gravity Falls has a similar theme and the characters act in a very down-to-earth manner. Justin Roiland even has a few cameos on TV adverts and his own character.

    Alex Hirsch has decided that there will most likely not be a season 3, so if you are planning to start watching this, it is incredibly good, but incredibly short lived. There are 40 episodes in total spread across 2 seasons, along with a few shorts best viewed in between seasons 1 and 2. The fist episode aired on the 15th of June 2012, and the finale aired on the 15th of February 2016. The show took an extremely long time for each episode to come out, sometimes having months separating episodes. The season 2 finale aired nearly 3 months after the previous episode

    I highly recommend this show to everybody, no matter what age. I'm 20 and I enjoyed it just as much as my 12 year old sister, probably more to be honest. The theme tune is incredibly catchy and fits the show well. Sometimes you'll find yourself watching the next episode just to whistle along with the opening credits. If you are looking for you're next binge watch program, Gravity Falls is definitely one to consider.

Gravity Falls is the story of Dipper and Mabel: 12 year old twins, going to Gravity Falls, Oregon to spend the summer with their Grunkle (Great Uncle) Stan. Mabel is looking for summer fun and true love. She also joins Dipper on a quest to find the author of a mysterious journal he finds in the woods. At first, the show has a great sense of humor. Episodes never seemed to bore me (except maybe one in season 2, but thats not the point right now). As you head towards the end of season 1, you can really see the story starting to unravel. As the creator of the show once said, it is a show about family; never meant to last longer than 1 summer. Once in season 2, the comedy is still on point and the story really starts to get interesting. I will admit it, the some of the final episodes made me cry. If a CHILDREN'S CARTOON can make someone cry, you know its good (or I'm pathetic. But I know grown men who have cried during this and still do every time they re-watch it). With many twists and turns, the show has never failed to make me suprised about what happens next. Another important aspect of this show: the life lessons. Included but not limited to: its alright to not be perfect (mentioned multiple times!), strive to be someone worth loving, sometime it just wasn't meant to be and that is alright, etc etc etc! Next up, the villains. THE VILLAINS. THEY ARE AMAZING! Comedy, Evil Schemes, the whole nine yards! I recommend this show to anyone who loves laughs, good plot, or the cartoons Steven Universe, Over the Garden Wall, Star VS The Forces Of Evil, or the RPG Undertale.… Expand

    I love cartoons and I am always a young at heart kind of person but this show took a lot of time to grow on me to be honest. In a couple of first episodes, while I do see the appeal for adults, the show felt like it focuses more for kids since it’s a Disney Channel TV show. However as I warmed up to the characters and the setting more, watching the show was a pleasant experience.

However as I warmed up to the characters and the setting more, watching the show was a pleasant experience.

    The show’s main characters Dipper and Mabel are adorable. Dipper is such a smart guy that knows his stuff while dealing with puberty. Mabel is the cute comic relief that it’s too hard to not like her.

    The eerie supernatural concept is such an interesting, if yet more mature for this show. I agree that this show is a combination of The Simpsons, The X-Files and Twin Peaks and I can see where the inspiration of this show came from.

    While it does have filler episodes, it is entertaining and it’s nice to see that those filler episodes are added to the continuity. It’s also nice to see there is some arc in this season that surely has a satisfying ending.

    The most important aspect of making a cartoon show that adults can enjoy is making the humor universal to both kids and adults and this show has a humor that we adults can laugh. There were even certain moments where I had pause the show because I was still laughing.

    Overall. despite being a Disney Channel TV show, Gravity Falls is the TV show that both kids and adults can enjoy with its interesting eerie supernatural concept setting, enjoyable characters especially Dopper and Mabel and a satisfying arc.    … Expand
