csnoah1 I love this show. It's so quirky and you never know where it's going next. Great script. Great acting.
dubwize After ten episodes I can fairly assess this clever series. Hapless and well meaning stoner parents attempt a family vacation that shows absurd politically incorrect and overly correct scenarios in equal portion.The First season grows on you steadily and if by the Third episode you still give it ago, you will be glad you did.The dysfunctional parental absurdity and the switched on kids adds to some funny moments and left me in hysterical fits of laughter often. Some very funny scenes, dialogue and delivery.Definitely now a fan and would recommend taking episodes slowly. Binge watching does not do this justice.Update Feb 26th 2018 - After watching the second season I must say the writers and Producers are indeed brilliantly clever to weave such a story with depth and humour. Best TV Comedy since THE BRINK. Definitely well worth a watch. Many times I burst into laughter during season two. It JUST keeps getting better. Even the kids Jareb and Deliliah are wonderful actors who bring an aspect to this series rarely seen in other TV shows.
sanjin_9632 Exactly my kind of crazy. The jokes are not of the freshest kind and the story may not be as original, but it's quite enjoyable. I don't find my eyes drifting away from the screen. I like Zea and her ability to play hysterical characters and I think Jason Jones is genuinely funny. I'm not familiar with his work at all, but in this he nails it, in my opinion. I'd like to see where this is going. It seems as though the characters are never finding peace, because the family (with 2 strangely crazy parents with crazy pasts and experiences) is doomed to fail. It also seems they're doing everything wrong, which somehow leads them to do many things right when it concerns their kids. Weirdly entertaining, at least from my perspective.The family (and coincidentally the viewer) is in for a crazy ride. I hope it stays that way. 6.9/10.
gnoroks I gave it ten because I found it so refreshing. If one has tried to watch most of the other new comedies that have come out recently like "Kevin can wait" and "Man with a Plan" and find them mostly unwatchable you may agree. The Detour may be pretty stupid sometimes but at least it's funny. I mean really funny. I watched the entire first season in a short period of time and I am ready for more. It is a bit raunchy at times so if you are sensitive to raunchiness just change the channel. I found something "laugh out loud" funny in every episode. Usually many times per episode. Natalie Zea is great in this. Normally she just gets a couple of lines in a show but here she is a main character, so you get to see her a lot. Not appropriate for your Mom or your kids so enjoy!
