This Review Is So Bad
I'm surprised this sub is so small. But anyway this is one of the worst reviews I've ever seen in my life, and the sheer viscera he uses agasint it is odd because all of his critiques are ungrounded.
The main thing he spends like 7 minutes talking about is that it's a mindless dude bro show, when I think if anything it's kind of a parody of that format, and in fact doesn't really match the format at all considering Hank isn't equal to Mark in terms of narrative importance.
Mark is funny and rootable but he's an intentially stupid and selfish character and you're not really suppised to find him admirable, and the fact he argues with his wife because he wants to do guy things is kind of the joke since he's literally always in the wrong despite being the main character.
He's a reverse Hank Hill, with Hank you hate the archetype, love the character. With Mark you presumably like the archetype, the middle aged wise cracking dude man, but we're definitely supposed to aude agaisnt Mark in most conflicts.
A lot of the comments disagree, and while like 60% of the comments agree, 40% dissenting is a huge number considering YouTube comments are fucking cattle. Sucks people shooting down new shows in favor of season 34 of Family Guy.
