Review of Deadbeat

Deadbeat (2014–2016)
4/10
Think Full House with adult humor and you're there
29 July 2017
Tired, stale jokes delivered by unlikable, one-dimensional cardboard cutout characters, with a liberal helping of humor that wants to be absurd, but reads like the scriptwriters just wrote random words on the wall and then threw darts at it. Take a plot outline that could be described in detail in three sentences or less, add in some casual racism and bigotry, stir until it's completely muddled, and you have Deadbeat in a nutshell.

The best thing about this show is when the credits end, and I'll be going out of my way to avoid anything by Miller, Heller or Labine, as the writing, directing and acting are universally awful. Hands-down the worst of Hulu's "Originals". They should probably just stick to buying in quality content from overseas and pretending it's "Original", if this is the best they can manage to buy in for themselves.
