"Duncanville" is centered around a spectacularly average 15-year-old boy, his family and friends. Like most 15-year-olds, Duncan can see adulthood on the horizon: money, freedom, cars and girls; but the reality is more like always being broke, driving with one's mom sitting shotgun, and babysitting one's sister. He's not exceptional, but he has a wild imagination in which he's never anything less than amazing. Duncan's mom, Annie, a parking enforcement officer who dreams of someday being a detective, lives in perpetual fear that her teenage son is one bad decision away from ruining his life, and she will do anything to stop him. Duncan's father, Jack, is a classic-rock-obsessed plumber who's determined to be a better dad than his own dad. Duncan has two sisters: 12-year-old Kimberly, and 6-year-old Jing. Duncan hangs with his friends Bex, Yangzi and Wolf. Mia is Duncan's on-again, off-again crush, and Mr. Mitch is their cool teacher/guidance counselor/occasional school nurse.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Amy Poehler lends her buoyant pipes to dual roles in Duncanville, a modest animated comedy that gets a lot of mileage out of its colorful palette and daydream flourishes.

Victoria Segal The Times (UK) 03/30/2020
Probably better than Marge and Homer's recent outings, and you could get a Duff-like buzz from it, but it wasn't quite the real thing. Go to Full Review Caroline Framke Variety 02/18/2020
A show with solid voice acting that has a decent handle on its setting and characters, especially its teen ones just trying to get through the day without literally stumbling face-first into blistering embarrassment. Go to Full Review Robyn Bahr The Hollywood Reporter 02/18/2020
Another family-friendly comedy that seems about as connected to today's youth as its Groupon jokes seem relevant to 2020. There's something particularly '90s about this sitcom that might be intended to feel nostalgic, but really comes off as retrograde. Go to Full Review Alex Behan The Post NZ 06/10/2021
Another iteration of the cartoon family that never ages and packs a hefty joke-per-minute ratio. Go to Full Review James Croot The Post NZ 06/01/2021
There's a lot of heart and truth underneath some of the more lewd and crude jokes. Go to Full Review Euan Ferguson Observer (UK) 03/30/2020
Charming, unthreatening: but absolutely no edge. Try it. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Cyrus K @Keyflame626 01/07/2023 This show came out of nowhere in 2020, and when i watched it for the first time i loved it. And looking back in 2023 my opinion hasn't changed that much. See more 07/27/2022 Sometimes all i want after a long day is watch a easily digestable, light hearted, simple funny show. Not to much politics or complicated plots. Just a really sweet family and show (season). See more Russell Z 07/27/2021 I like Parks and Recreation, so I tried this. It's too fast-paced, to the point it feels like a normal show being played at double-speed with the voices sped up. See more 06/06/2021 So are they going to cancel the show? Or will they change the actor of the main role because its a woman playing the role of a boy? Are all the voice actors right for all the parts? Or do they just mess up the Simpsons, American Dad, and every other decent show on tv? Asking for a friend. See more 04/03/2021 This series is amazing can't wait for season 2 See more 11/20/2020 I went into this knowing absolutely nothing beforehand, nothing about the creators, voices or such. The series was an enjoyable laugh throughout the entire season, the character were amusing and situations were comedic even when the plot was sometimes crazy. the characters all had their own personalities and didn't feel like cardboard cutouts like many other animated shows. It doesnt rely on crude humour to get by. Overall an enjoyable watch. See more Read all reviews
