Review of The Detour

The Detour (2016–2019)
10/10
A good mix of the hilarious and the ridiculous
23 February 2018
After ten episodes I can fairly assess this clever series. Hapless and well meaning stoner parents attempt a family vacation that shows absurd politically incorrect and overly correct scenarios in equal portion.

The First season grows on you steadily and if by the Third episode you still give it ago, you will be glad you did.

The dysfunctional parental absurdity and the switched on kids adds to some funny moments and left me in hysterical fits of laughter often. Some very funny scenes, dialogue and delivery.

Definitely now a fan and would recommend taking episodes slowly. Binge watching does not do this justice.

Update Feb 26th 2018 - After watching the second season I must say the writers and Producers are indeed brilliantly clever to weave such a story with depth and humour. Best TV Comedy since THE BRINK. Definitely well worth a watch. Many times I burst into laughter during season two. It JUST keeps getting better. Even the kids Jareb and Deliliah are wonderful actors who bring an aspect to this series rarely seen in other TV shows.
