      Audience Reviews for F Is for Family: Season 5

      • Feb 15, 2023
        Throughout five seasons F is for Family brought the 1970s to life through Bill Burr's turn as an angry alcoholic father. The show ends up having a surprising amount of depth given that the hook is simply Frank yelling that he'll put you "through that fuckin' wall!" Instead, what we get is a look inside that abusive father to see what makes him tick, even as he learns it for himself. A housewife who aspires to be more than simply mom but can't seem to get a foothold in an unabashedly male-dominated world. The 1970s themselves could be considered a prominent character on the show, depicting a world where safety came second if it was part of the equation at all. It was the "stop crying and rub some dirt in it" generation. The animation style seems to reflect this, never shying away from grotesqueries but doing it all in a world that could well be Tom and Jerry for all we know before the opening credits roll. Throughout its run F is for Family brings the laughs and the f-bombs. It also tries to bring some raw emotion to the set up through several characters, especially in regard to Frank's father who was as withholding and cold as one might imagine. It never quite hits the emotional highs that it's going for, but it doesn't need to. In fact, it would almost feel wrong if it did.

        this show is so terrible. i don't care that it's raunchy, but all of the male characters are abusive and no one ever stands up for themselves and as soon as the abuse is mentioned, then the victim has to apologize to the abuser and the show plays it up like a sweet moment. i love bill burr, but this show SUCKS. all of the characters are SO unlikeable, complete stereotypes of their race, gender, etc. frank continually abuses his kids and it's nothing but a punch line. the show has a very dark, depressing atmosphere and the jokes are on the level of bob burgers; unfunny quips that are supposed to show what a funny, quirky person they are. it doesn't make a difference that the show is set in the 70's, that's not why it's so messed up. the characters will randomly physically abuse their kids, like franks dad. it's a horrible show to watch if you have been abused; frank has to forgive his father many times for neglecting and abusing him, but the show doesn't seem to understand what a "sweet" moment is. frank constantly has to apologize to his father for losing his temper, despite the fact that his father was severely abusive to him. yeah i get it, it's the 70's but the show itself doesn't seem to understand abuse and it turns into: frank is the bad guy for blowing up at his abusive father and his cruel wife and friends will continually berate him until he apologizes. it's a terrible show with no real punchline. anyone who likes this show is nostalgic for the time period, their childhood; or the abuse they suffered.

        Love this show! This isn't the best season, but a good way to end the show. Bill Burr is a hilarious stand up and his animated show is no exception!
      • Dec 09, 2021
        This is one of the best seasons of F is for Family and features all of the Murphys in their own storyline that wraps up real nice in the final episode. This season gets back to its roots with the trials and tribulations of Sue and Franks' past that lead them to where they are today. Meanwhile, Kevin is in love, Bill becomes a cop, and Maureen experiments with witchcraft. This is a must watch
      • Dec 07, 2021
        Great season. It built on everything previous while adding new dimensions.
      • Dec 05, 2021
        I wasn't expecting the fifth season to be the last one but I understand the importance of quitting while you're ahead. Anyway, this season ends this underrated gem of adult animation on a high note with great writing, well-explored themes and a ton of heart hidden beneath all the heavy swearing. I did like how the final scene bookends with the opening scene showing character development for our short-tempered protagonist. I don't know, while I wasn't as amazed with F is for Family as BoJack Horseman, I'm at a loss for words because honestly, what's there to say? The final season of F is for Family, and the show as a whole, is great and deserves more attention since it is actually quite smart and brilliant despite what all the gloriously uncensored f-bombs implied when I started watching this show back in 2016. Good luck in your future endeavours, Bill Burr...and now I'm stuck with Big Mouth, the show that leaves me forever conflicted whilst getting frustrated with how it's seemingly Netflix's personal Teen Titans Go! in terms of preferential treatment, if not necessarily critical reception. There are other shows of course but I do have commitments to other shows. Honestly, if I added profanity in that last sentence, I would honestly have made the greatest accidental impression of Bill Burr ever. Wasn't I talking about how this season was great and how it would cement this show's reputation as one of the greatest adult animated shows if it weren't for the quiet release of each season?

        Honestly, crazy to me that no one has reviewed this show's later seasons. It's honestly a hidden gem in the adult animation world!!!
      • Dec 02, 2021
        "F Is for Family" is surpassed by a few other Netflix animated series like "BoJack Horseman" and "Big Mouth" but is definitely a show I got into around the same time as the other two. I was actually sad to see the show reach its final season this year, but I thought it concluded well. The ending of the show is very sweet and reminded me how the show is surprisingly heartfelt despite the raunchy humor. I think the show is funny and enjoyable, but I have to admit, not every storyline is all that engaging. Enough of the story arcs are good so the show was always a quick binge when a new season came out and a talented mind like Bill Burr kept the show entertaining. Overall, if you like animated comedy series on Netflix, this is a rock-solid one worth the time.
      • Dec 01, 2021
        The final season wraps everything up wonderfully.
      • Nov 30, 2021
        [⭐️78%] Just like every season, season five continues to pump out consistent episodes filled with fun scenarios and enjoyable humour. It picks up after season fours shock ending and deals with Frank's fathers death in an emotional way. While it remains solid throughout, F is For Family's final season doesn't feel like much of a conclusion.
