Rutherford Falls

Like many reviewers I watched because I adore Ed Helms and his particular blend of comedy but for lots of reasons this show fails to engage with enough people, enough of the time to be funny. Season 1 was overly political and so it was hard to find the comedy in it. Season 2 was funnier but Helms just pushed himself aside to shine a spotlight on the rest of the cast and unfortunately for him, most of the cast are bad actors with little ability so without his charisma this one could never get far. Needed more star power and famous faces. I understand what he was trying to do and no doubt it was all well intentioned but for lots of reasons such as plot and acting, this didn't land.

Watched the first three freebies, was on the fence. Decided to go with the subscription just to finish the season. Super-glad we did-it really picks up, gains the kind of momentum that's left us eager for a second season so we can see how things work out for characters we've come to care about. If they don't renew, even after Michael Greyeyes'.win at the Canadian Screen Awards? I can't imagine keeping up with the subscription-Rutherford Falls is our sole reason for subscribing,

This is the first comedy that isn't at the expense of a marginalized group. It's funny and cute. Ed Helms is whatever but the other actors and actresses are great!

Out of the handful of new sitcoms that have launched, THIS one seems to have kept my interest the most.

It started kinda iffy but I am currently watching the season finale and I'm hooked.

Definitely a series that benefits from the option of bingeing.

If I had to wait a whole week for an episode I might have forgotten about it. Now I can't WAIT for the next season!👍🏽👍🏽 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Like a lot of Mike Schur projects, this series only hit its stride after a slightly awkward beginning. The first two episodes might be the weakest ones, but concentrate on the amazing acting talent of Michael Greyeyes (who also seems to have A LOT of fun playing this part) and others until the whole cast has caught up and is feeling their storylines. Then, the show hits its stride.

Some of the most insightful funny dialogue, an amazing cast of Native American actors and the familiar feeling of... Pawnee? Mike Schur Land, for sure.
