F Is for Family centers on an Irish-American family in the mid-1970s. It is an adult animated Netflix original series created by Bill Burr and Michael Price. This dysfunctional suburban Irish-American family lives in the fictional town of Rustvale, Pennsylvania. One of the good things about the series, which reflects the 70’s America quite well, is also it has a plot continuity that we are not used to seeing in such animations lately. We can say that F is for Family similar to The Simpsons, Family Guy, and American Dad mold with a loving but flawed dad and a mum who could do better, and kids that always belong to the weird crows. So it’s a very high-quality animation that tells stories from life, sometimes includes drama but is also very entertaining.
Official Synopsis:
“Follow the Murphy family back to the 1970s, when kids roamed wild, beer flowed freely and nothing came between a man and his TV.”
