The Great North (2021– )
7/10
Alot of promise yet unfulfilled
16 May 2021
Despite the A list cast the first 10 episodes are hit and miss. It isn't really edgy or boundary pushing (yet) but it has it moments. I think one thing the writers did well was the charector creation. If the show lasts for 5 years + they have alot to work with. For instance the single dad thing, think of all the crazy/eccentric/plain funny relationships he can have. Remember aminated charectors are generally perpetually stuck in time so the more flexible the better.

One charector who isn't working at all IMO is Moon Tobin. He seems like he is suppose to be the offspring of Louise from BB and Stewie from FG (both really funny). Louise is probably my favorite animated charector period. Unfortunatly the charector comes off extremely derivative and even awkward at times.

A lot of promise here. Hopefully the show can find its groove in season 2.
