    By the tenth episode there's enough going right here to make one hopeful for future seasons, but it still feels like a disappointment given the pedigree. At the very least, Hoops passes the time until somebody just gives Ron Funches a show of his own.

    Ben’s self-indulgent and cynical without warmth or thoughtfulness. The rest of the main cast do their best—and their best Kentucky accents—but the series lacks a vision of where it wants its characters to go or the message it sends, a quality that’s set shows like BoJack Horseman and Big Mouth apart from other animated offerings. To mix sport metaphors, Hoops is like a racehorse with blinders on.

    One episode was enough, I simply couldn't take any more of it.

    Yes, a show can be rude, vulgar, silly and totally gross. But if it's    One episode was enough, I simply couldn't take any more of it.

    But if it's supposed to be a comedy, it has to be funny!
    It's full of lame, boring, unfunny characters no one gives a crap about!
    Poor Jake Johnson. Maybe he saw the finished show and hoped it wouldn't be released, but no such luck!

    The most obvious question is: Who greenlit this?
    But I cannot help but to think that now, because of the current situation, they're throwing things at us that had been previously shelved, for good reasons (unfunny!), but now they're running out of shows and we get to watch what's left in the 'vault'.

    Did I say it's totally unfunny? Maybe. But to be sure:
    TOTALLY UNFUNNY CRAP!    … Full Review »

    I've got no issues if a show is vulgar, or disgusting, or rude, that's why I love South Park, that show is amazing.

    I do have a a problem    I've got no issues if a show is vulgar, or disgusting, or rude, that's why I love South Park, that show is amazing.

    I do have a a problem with a show when its vulgar, and disgusting, and rude, and its boring and unfunny beyond human comprehension. This is awful, like truly awful. Between this and Cursed, Netflix have released some complete rubbish this year.    … Full Review »
