Set in the 1970s, this animated raunchy comedy is inspired by the life of stand-up comic Bill Burr, who is a co-creator and executive producer of the series. Burr also voices the character of Frank Murphy, a short-tempered veteran who lives in the suburbs with his wife, Sue (Laura Dern) and their three children. Frank, who works at an airport, has a penchant for shouting and profanity-filled rants. The series celebrates all things 1970s, including the lifestyle, the music, and all sorts of other nostalgic details.

F is for Family asks us to live in that period setting and identify with the abuser instead of the abused. It's a tougher challenge, for sure, and one worth taking on. Go to Full Review Emily St. James Vox 01/30/2019
It's a neat little series with potential to be a whole lot more - and it's well worth sampling on a gray, wintry afternoon. Go to Full Review Dennis Perkins AV Club 12/20/2015

Burr's comedy, while "un-PC," is deceptively nuanced in its worldview -- or as nuanced as his rant-based standup can be. Go to Full Review Dan Buffa KSDK News (St. Louis) 11/10/2020
It's maniac ranting and high energy laughs from Burr and company, including a hilarious Michael Kenneth Williams as the local vending machine clerk, Smoky. Go to Full Review Donald Strohman The Young Folks 01/11/2016
2/10
Ultimately, F is for Family wastes the talents of Bill Burr on juvenile humor and unsympathetic characters, creating an outright abysmal experience overall. Go to Full Review Daniel Johnson Screen Rant 12/24/2015
It's somewhat crudely animated and is as vulgar and profane as any sitcom ever created; yet, at the same time, it's surprisingly heartfelt and occasionally optimistic, lending the final product a satisfying balance of dark humor and genuine affection. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Devin B. @ObXessed_n3 Jun 7 F Is for Family is easily one of the greatest family sitcoms of all time. In a world filled with shows like The Simpsons, Family Guy, and American Dad!, it manages to stand out by delivering comedy that feels fresh rather than cheap or overused. The show features great character development, memorable storylines, and countless hilarious moments. While not every joke lands on a rewatch, there are still so many funny scenes that make it worth watching. It’s a unique take on the family sitcom formula that really pulls you in. Once you finish the first season, you’ll probably find yourself wanting to watch the rest. Highly recommended. See more Jakub G @jmgawecki Jan 25 One of the greatest animated show of all times. Great character development of each personality within Murphy's family. What a fantastic experience to watch Frank's character to develop from an angry, frustrated yet loving father and husband, battling between social difficulties of his time to a person who makes peace with many unexpected surprises that life has brought to him. And the show is very funny indeed! See more Anh H @Annhuynh Jun 30 It my flavorite show all time See more Mary T @RT38819950 12/26/2024 This show is an outrageously bitter, deeply empathetic, and downright hilarious portrayal of 1970s American culture. Bill Burr’s humor shines throughout the entire season, with unfiltered jokes that simultaneously poke fun at the problematic views held back then while telling a heartfelt story about a family trying their best. It’s crude and its art may not be the best out there, but I love it. See more Hannah H @RT03614145 10/13/2024 F is for Family is an incredibly relatable show. Even is you didn't grow up in the era we almost all know someone who has and this show explains almost perfectly how it was in the 70s plus comically going thru day to day life problems and was to handle them. Just well wrote I think the writer did just amazing one these! See more Mark R @Mark67 01/21/2024 Best animation I have ever seen or I'll put you through that F*****G wall!! See more Read all reviews
