The Dismal 'Merry Happy Whatever' Is The Downside Of Binge-Watching
You can understand why Netflix thought people might want a holiday-themed family comedy to watch this season. But unfortunately, the one they made is a big miss.
The business proposition behind Netflix's painfully flat family sitcom , released in an eight-episode binge on Thanksgiving Day, is the most defensible thing about it. It makes all the sense in the world to try to offer large groups of people something aggressively — almost — unobjectionable to watch, and it makes sense that it might be a very old-fashioned multicamera sitcom. What's more, there have, so why not give it a shot? And why not theme it around the holidays, thus perhaps capitalizing on the same "what the heck, it's Christmas" vibe that has elevated ?
