One of the many funny things about this

Genius new sit com (and I hate sit comes,generally,maybe because there are so many awful ones and there're all the same)
Is that the parents,who are getting a divorce, are so perfect together. They are never getting divorced, obviously. There're both perfectly cast.

And the kid playing the lead is perfect as someone who is smarter than everyone else but hasn't the confidence yet to see it.
We fell of the couch laughing when his bro wanted to watch 50 hours of Game of Thrones over nite and Kenny was too distracted about having come out,until the dudes sex scene came on.

And the bro is perfect too as a well meaning thug...trying to protect his brother by being a bully...the perfect paradox!
And the little sister who has the same personality as her mom,only is the exact opposite because she has already figured out what mom hasn't.. What others think doesn't really matter or have to be any of your business,especially is you can stay one step ahead..lol..

Very funny ,clever stuff...

I agree. It's a great cast of characters. My parents went through a whole "appear totally perfect in front of the community" thing when I was a kid, too.

The "eternally secret divorce plan" is hilarious. He's going to have a fully developed basement as time goes on.

The idea of "pity pork" when the neighborhood found out their secrets was funny, too.

I'm not a big sitcom fan either, but I like this and Fresh off the Boat.
