Raising Hope- "Pilot" Review

This show suprised me. I wasn't expecting too much and was really only watching because I like several of the actors and I planned on watching the show airing directly afterwards. But I actually enjoyed it. Best pilot I've seen thus far this season (which isn't saying too much, but still).

-Acting is fantastic across the board. Lead is very likeable and Garett Dillahunt and Martha Plimpton as the parents are hilarious.

-The pilot covered a very wide period of time, but didn't feel that rushed and in fact, several times, used the time cuts to its comedic advantage.

-Extra points for using Free Energy's "Bang Pop".

-There were times when the pilot didn't seem to know where it was going and stalled a little bit.

-Child endangerment humor only goes so far, but this show is making the most of it so far.

-There is an element of weirdness to the show that makes it endearing. Offbeat and interesting.

8.0/10
