The Brethus’ Review Of, “F Is For Family”
—
-Description-
–
On December 18th, 2015 a new, “Netflix Original,” show called, “F Is For Family,” which was, thankfully, created by comedian Bill Burr and Michael Price.
With mostly positive reviews from critic-based websites like rotten tomatoes and meta-critic it is gaining popularity. The show is based on a simple family in the 70’s scraping by and trying to survive their miserable lives and escaping everyday stressful situations such as bullies, neighbors, bosses, black people, and of course each other.

Moreover, the show takes place in the 1970s, “a time when you could smack your kid, smoke inside, and bring a gun to the airport”

One of the more vulgar shows out there, to me, I find it quite hilarious and it also has a great little story to the first season.
With only 6 episodes running about 30 minutes, the 1^st season has great story progression and character development. The emotional distress and bonding between the family members is what drags me to love the show because of my relationship with my parents and siblings. As messed up as the family is you come to learn that they all have their resentments and issues, but if you pay attention, you can feel the love and connection between them.

-Main Family-

Frank Murphy – (Bill Burr)

1. The father, Frank Murphy, runs the household by working at an airport. As a Korean War veteran he is very ill tempered and vulgar. He hates people but loves television.
   –
   Sue Murphy – (Laura Dern)
2. The mother, Sue Murphy, is the care taker of the family by cooking, cleaning, keeping peace, but most importantly, selling plastic Tupperware to the surrounding areas.
   –
   Kevin Murphy – (Kevin Long)
3. Kevin, the eldest son, is 14 and failing out of school. Although he despises his father and his orders, he always helps his brother when in need, or when on weed.
   –
   Bill Murphy – (Haley Reinhart)
4. As the middle child, Bill, is seen as the, “Pussy,” of the group due to how he deals with his bullies and how he has no spine, according to his father.
   –
   Maureen Murphy – (Debi Derryberry)
5. Now, Maureen, is the youngest, and according to Frank, the princess. He sees her as the best behaved child, but when away from him she is actually the worst.
   –
   D.O.G – (Major)
6. Finally we have the least seen family member, and that’s Major. Not too much character development other than leg-humping and occasionally standing cross eyed.

-Side / Recurring Characters-
—
Vic – (Sam Rockwell)

• Vic is Frank’s party-animal and playboy neighbor. Unbeknownst to Vic Frank isn’t too fond of his lavish lifestyle, or him. He snorts various substances and is very spiritual.
  Kenny & Phillip – (Debi Derryberry)
• Kenny & Phillip are brothers(?) who are friends with Bill and Maureen. You have to infer that their parents are either gone or hillbillies due to their behavior and speech.
  David Koechner – (Bob Pogo)
• Bob is senior Vice President of Mohican Airways, where Frank works. He’s second in command and first in line for a heart attack.
  Rodger Dunbarton – (Gary Cole)
• Mr. Dunbarton is President/CEO of Mohican Airways and would never fuck someone as old as his daughter. He’s as stereotypical as a white corporate CEO can get.
  Rosie – (Kevin Michael Richards)
• Rosie is Frank’s good friend at the baggage claim inside of the airport. At least until Frank gets his promotion and the crew threatens a strike.

  -THERE ARE OTHERS OBVIOUSLY BUT I COULDN’T REMEMBER THE NAMES AND COULDN’T DIG ANYMORE FOR INFORMATION DUE TO MY COMPUTER DYING-

  -My Opinion & Review-

After watching the show two times through and taking in the comedic values and emotional connections, I’ve come to really like the show. I hope to see many more seasons and learn more about the characters. Kevin I can relate to most because he does miss his connection with his father that he use to have as a child, but now flunks out of school, gets suspended, and smokes weed. Bill and Maureen are just like a lot of siblings, and really, the whole family is completely similar to my family. The other characters, not too much, but they add more of a hilarity factor to the show.
–
Out of 5 I give it a 4.5
Just because I’d like to see more character development and more down-to-heart stories.

What’s your opinion of the show?
If you haven’t watched it, check out the trailer or try to find it on Netflix!
