I watched all episodes of both seasons (the second half of season 2 comes in the fall of 2023). It's got way too much bathroom humor (what IS the fascination with that crap?), but I liked the voices just fine.
Pete Davidson, who I didn't love on SNL, actually does a good job, though he's been lambasted here and on other review sites. But he'll always be lambasted on review sites. A lot of people hate him. Harrelson and Goodman were fine too, though Goodman is the weakest of the three and Fat Freddy -- with the endless bathroom humor -- is now my least favorite character.
I was surprised by them changing Fat Freddy's Cat's gender to female. But I found her to be the funniest character of everyone. Despite the gender change, she still behaved like Fat Freddy's Cat would behave.
I'm just happy it's on TV and streaming. Hell, it's the Freak Brothers! I'm happy to support Gilbert by adding my viewership. I hope it runs 5 or 6 years. Best thing is, there's almost no censorship and it's violent, foul-mouthed, drug-induced and nudity-laced humor, way beyond adult animation on Fox or Comedy Central.
I get that people want what THEY see as the ultimate perfection in depicting the Freak Brothers in any series (or movie, for that matter). But I've written extensively on the Freak Brothers on my Comixjoint website, and this series is a decent uptake on the characters. I could live without so much toilet humor, but overall I think it's pretty enjoyable and they are bringing fresh life to a nearly-dead genre and engaging a whole new generation in underground comix. That is a huge positive in my book!
