It's a straightforward family-sitcom dynamic, loaded up with endearing eccentricity. ... These are rich characters in absurd situations full of quotable dialogue. ... The Great North could be one of the norths. Greats, I mean, greats!
-
It’s not the superficial links that make “The Great North” a worthy successor to “Bob’s Burgers”; it’s their shared sense of compassion.
-
You won't need a matchmaker to find the greatness within North. [15-28 Mar 2021, p.11]
-
The Great North is often clever, performed by actors with distinctive voices that give the characters fully formed personalities, and about people trying to be good to each other while living in an out-of-the-ordinary place.
-
The Great North is comfort viewing of the highest caliber, a glass of the same hot beverage before seeing the same friends at the same place, feeling lovingly ensconced by it all.
-
As it explores the idiosyncrasies of the Tobins and their environment, however, the series starts to display its own distinct charm.
-
A winning, offbeat animated comedy.
-
With an all-star voice cast and eccentric sense of humor, this is another strong offering from the Bouchard team, even if it doesn’t start as brilliantly as “Central Park” did last year.
-
The Great North has some work to do to get to the level of its cousin shows, Bob’s Burgers and Central Park. But with a great voice cast and Bouchard overseeing things, it should get there eventually.
-
Four episodes isn't enough to know if the show will settle for being Bob's Burgers as reimagined by somebody who just watched Northern Exposure. Then again, with memorable characters (captured in that familiar Bento Box Entertainment style), running credit gags and catchy episode-closing songs, I don't think Bob's Burgers as reimagined by somebody who just watched Northern Exposure would be such a bad thing anyway.
