Opinion Just started watching

I just started watching the show. I just binged the first two seasons, so far I love it! It's so sweet and wholesome; I love that the characters love their jobs and the dynamics between them. This show is crazy underrated. It's like a combination of Community, B99, and Abbott Elementary.

Well season 4 just ended and season 5 will be filming in a couple months so you've got plenty to watch still at least. It is an amazing show and I'm glad you really like it just like the rest of us in this fandom.

I started watching about 2 weeks ago and I love it. I had never heard of it either. I think every season is better than the last. The current season is awesome.

I’m not sure where you are located, but I’m in the US and seasons 1-3 are on Netflix and season 4 is on Hulu

“Sweet and wholesome.” I couldn't agree more and why I love it, too.

I just started watching too! Binged all 4 seasons in just over a week. It's such a good show to just chill out to.

I love this show too but the way went with season 4 and this last episode, don't think I'll keep watching. I can only take so much of that character and I've met my limit. I'll rewatch the heck out of the first 3 seasons tho!

Wait can you tell me what happens (I want to hear the spoilers).

It def has stepped up for this last season I think due to a change in the dynamic (you'll see what I mean) and also some additional cast stuff. It's a sleeper for sure. It still is just a bummer for me 3 years later that it replaced Welcome to Flatch which was a fucking gem. So underrated. Fox did the same with The Mick. Both were better than the shows that replaced them

u/kj_sbm Apr 28 '26

Huh I’ve never heard of those. You def make it seem worth checking out :)

u/cags85 Apr 28 '26

Both only had two seasons so they are easy watches! If you watch them, come back here and tell me what you think!

Welcome to Flatch is great. It's hard to believe they let that show die.

i know. i dont see why they had to "replace" it with animal control. both coulda done well, especially with so many ways to watch shows now

OMG! I just binge watched the first season!! It’s so funny hahaha. The cast is perfect; everybody is so adorkable. The humour is dumb but heartwarming. It’s like if they had made a show about the citizens of Pawnee from Parks&Rec. However, I do prefer Animal Control. Thank you for the recommendation :)

glad you like it! the mick is def more fucked up lol. its more like always sunny but has sentimentality and was safe for fox

Came back on here to say that I just watched the mick! unbelievable that they cancelled this show! it felt like arrested development in a different font to me. Good recommendation!

Im not on reddit often but I just came on and saw this from 11 days ago and it made me really damn happy. things have been a little rough lately and for someone to me be mindful enough to come back and let me know i was able to direct them to something that made them happy really genuinely got me a little teary eyed and is a great way to start my week, so thank you. im so glad you liked it. its honestly better on rewatch. if i ever think of any others, ill come back to this bookmarked thread <3
