Pleasantly surprised!
wundergurl16 May 2024
I like a lot of the Daily Wires content, but I do err on the side of caution when it comes to their television entertainment side of things. They could work on their trailers for the promotion of this show but it was not a terrible trailer, as far as trailers today go. It's a pretty wholesome, light-hearted comedy show with political tones. It reminds me of American Dad but it's more common sense conservative sibling. All the actors did a fantastic job, love Brett Cooper. Megyn Kelly did a great job as well, this is not her element but her character is funny and a little bit clueless, but well-intentioned. Gage is a hilarious character. Tyler did a great job at making his character seem annoying and preachy, mixed with a bit of air headedness. Sometimes you want to ring his neck and sometimes you just laugh at how ridiculous it is, and how relatable it is today. I think the episode could have been better but it's the beginning of the show so I have faith that I will continue to get better, the second episode is better than the first one. Can't wait for the third in a few days.

Funny but not layered

I saw the trailer for the show and I think most the the trailer is just first episode, so I'd already laughed at most the jokes before. If you haven't seen the trailer you should have an enjoyable time but my problem with the episode was that the jokes were just characters making fun of the crazy left. Now, I would've preferred it if they poked fun at other people or at least presented the jokes in other ways, like some visual gags. If the show continues like this it'll get stale fast and definitely alienate any mainstream audiences. I just hope the show has a bit more variety in upcoming episodes and it definitely has a lot of potential if it does that.

Episode 1

Warning: Spoilers
You can definitely argue that we need an "un-woke" show on TV, but this is like a parody of how a Democratic operative would do it.

The jokes are painfully unfunny and everything about this feels completely dated. Megyn Kelly may be good as a commentator, but her work as the mother here left a lot to be desired.

It doesn't seem like the lead character has a coherent thought too. He is just growling all the time.

Brett Cooper playing the daughter is one of the few standouts here, but no surprise as she has more acting experience than almost everyone else on the show.

This needs a whole lot of work though.

Where to start...
gamesix-8360113 May 2024
A grating, one-note, unfunny, waste of time. Angry guy doesn't understand things so he gets angry at them with no jokes. Nothing worse than conservative 'comedy'; they're just not funny. There wasn't really a story either. Just the guy yelling super retro stuff and fake right wing 'characters'. Since the things the right is raging against really don't exist, they have to invent ridiuculous stereotypes of things they hate. There's not a character you'd want to spend 20 minutes with. Lame swing and a huge miss. I guess it's good none of the Daily Wire website hosts tried to wedge in some of their weird religious stuff.

Very good

I'm shocked this episode is the one with the lower rating because this is the one that gave me hope for the show. I got a few chuckles within the first couple of minutes, and for every cringey joke there was one I had to pause from laughing too hard. Yes, it feels a bit soulless. But this episode doesn't feel preachy like the trailer and episode 2 feel. For example, right after the 'vegan wolf' cutaway, Birchum's wife retorts 'Nature didn't intend for them to snuggle between their two humans every night, either.' I also like the idea of Genie. Her character seems like something fresh and original in the show, an 8 year old girl who idolizes her butch, woodworking dad.

A return to the everyday sitcom
briesemeisterd13 May 2024
The first episode of this series was a little slow, but it has a decent direction. It is right leaning but its not crazy. It does make fun of the extreme left but it does dip into how silly both sides can be. Anyone who knows Adam Corolla knows he's not a far-right leaning person and is more middle of the row and this show reflects that.

The voice acting is decent, styling is different, and the premises shows promise.

I enjoy most of the cast members that they have in show and Adams voice really fits the character of Mr. Birchim. Full disclosure I am a fan of Daily Wire but hope my review isn't to skewed. I highly recommend if you have the ability to see this show to give it a shot.
