Review of The Grinder

The Grinder (2015–2016)
10/10
My Favorite sitcom now.

It helps there is no laugh track to point to funny stuff. I can find it myself, thankyou.

Lowe is superb as this narcissistic, over-the-top, cheesy but still likable character--how did the writers do that? And how does Lowe pull it off? He plays it so straight! The spoof of crime dramas adds another great element, then carrying that persona into "real life' is actually believable in some weird (mystical?) way.

Savage does a great job as the frustrated brother. I get him. Where has he been all these years?

All other actors also do a great job. Even the kids are great. Love the whole family.

Immensely enjoyable. Might take watching a couple episodes to pick up the full flavor of the humor, but worth it. And I don't have to cover the eyes or ears of kids--or my own, either. Refreshing for "modern" sitcoms that often border on porn.
