-
Yes, it's a little bit odd, but this is a unique and capricious comedy.
-
It’s an offbeat, refreshing take on the (broken) family sitcom and deadbeat dad redemption story.
-
Brash jokes to the opposite extreme are good for a quick chuckle, but deeper laughs came from the above comparisons many of us find in day-to-day life. Still, what makes Son of Zorn an exciting new series is that it can go to both ends of the spectrum with consistency.
-
It’s an old story in a new loincloth. But it works.
-
Either clever idea or one-trick pony, the Son of Zorn pilot can’t entirely decide which it is either.
-
Despite his novelty, Zorn remains the same kind of unduly confident doofus that has dominated screen comedy for a decade and a half. Though Sudeikis’ performance brings a lot of life to the character, Zorn doesn’t have much going for him that isn’t rooted in premise.
-
Though a little strange, the mixture is never unsettling, in large part because this efficient and reasonably amusing sitcom is safely encased in several other familiar TV formats.
