The series follows two 15-year-old best friends, Gary and Joel, as they try to navigate through teenage life, while also trying to do the right thing without the help of any parental supervision.
This show didn't look too promising based on the previews but it's actually got a lot going for it.
Firstly, the voice acting is great. That is clearly going to be a major strength for this series. Secondly, it's got excellent supplementary characters. The main characters are cool, but like south park, the real comedy lies in the fringe characters.
Couple other things this show does well - it's fun, has good timing, doesn't seem to hit too many one note jokes, and the animation works for it. Some people have bashed the animation but how many good comedies have pristine animation? Sometimes rougher animation is way funnier... Archer, South Park, Tom Goes to the Mayor, etc.
I'm not sure why other reviewers are hating so hard, I thought it was funny and would really like to see how it develops.
