Fans of Fox’s existing male-skewing animated comedy lineup will likely welcome “UBG,” which offers a similar comedic point of view: dumb dudes doing dumb things designed to make viewers laugh. Read full review

The series, created by Adam and Craig Malamut, does reveal occasional glimmers of a potential to become something more distinctive — typically in moments when it ditches the road well-traveled for stranger, more outlandish and often downright fantastical detours. But such moments are spread too thin over the course of a 13-episode first season better described as fine than fun. Read full review

While the premise is interesting enough, the show is stuffed with tiresome jokes that fail to pack a punch. Read full review

Overall, its aggressively bro tone—especially as it’s often presented in quotation marks, winking at you that it knows what it’s doing even as it offers no commentary on which to hang that ironic posturing—remains strident and borderline obnoxious throughout. Read full review
