SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

Suman Roberson It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

Alyssa ***Warning: rape mention***OK, i'll admit. When I first started watching the show, I thought it was funny and surprisingly enjoyable. Sure, there were a lot of stupid jokes, but my love for history and comedy in one, short show kept me watching. And then I got to the second episode. Not even five minutes in, and this show decides to take a horrible turn and try and make rape funny. News flash: rape was and never will be humorous. Yet, "Another Period" makes the rape - and it's intention for it to be funny - explicit. "But it's a rich lady raping a servant boy! It's not like it's, ya know, actual rape. It's supposed to be funny, relax." Shut up. I'm not a sensitive person, and I find a lot of stuff funny that raises a few eyebrows. But I also have a heart and a brain and I know that rape isn't a joke. The reason that people think they can get away with rape jokes is because of stuff like this. It's disgusting and depressing. Sorry (not sorry), but this show immediately lost another viewer. Drunk History is often brought up when people think about this show, and I've even heard "Another Period" be called it's "sister show". It's not. This show is like the ugly stepsister who wants to be like it's popular, successful sister but ends up being a disaster. Just do your self a favor and watch Drunk History for some real laughs - and you'll learn something too!

fistamamanbush This isn't the best show to come out in a while, but it is surprisingly funny. The gags are pretty hit or miss, but when they hit, they hit hard, and when they miss, it isn't too bad. In many ways this reminds me of Children's Hospital - in that they've taken a genre (Edith Wharton/Downton Abbey/Victorian) and totally lampooned it. There's plenty of absurdist WTF humor as well as send up's of victorian society as a whole. If you like Portlandia, where every single joke is DOA and is just pure garbage, then I'd stay away from this. It's got some mean spirited humor which I personally find funny. Whereas Portlandia is all simple safe and tired over trod material and unfunny jokes that (much like SNL) go on for way too long. God I hate Portlandia.

TriggerPullerUSMC Within 30 seconds I knew this was going to be a bunch of normally talented people going way over the top and trying too hard..It is the kind of show that makes me weep for America- The kind of show that sort of says- yep the movie Idiocracy is basically now a documentary. I don't understand why a bunch of normally talented actors would get involved in a project like this. Are we really that stupid as a TV audience? For the record- if I think it is stupid you got problems. It feels like, no one really wants to do the project, so they just went over the top and over did every single line every scene. And when they screened it they all said yep that will never fly we can do do other projects now or anything really, like just sit down in a chair and stare at something. It could actually be funny but it is just badly done. And if had to guess everyone will treat this like they are being ironic or it is like garbage modern art where only super smart folks understand that the art part is in it being- really bad. This will be seen as only smart people understand why typically great comedians are running around acting like they have never done TV before and they over sell everything. Sorry if you think the kind of comedy that is way too obvious and not even really all that good- you ain't smart good Sir or ma'am.BTW suffragette comedy where the gal is fat and gross is an example of boring, lame and easy humor sort of like having a scene about a bad driver and when you finally see the driver it is an Asian- BORING. - Plus- the national tragedy of giving women the vote is never funny and it falls in to the "too soon?" category. Pearl Harbor and 9/11 jokes are less offensive. Kidding it is always funny watching women vote or use a remote control or drive. Shame I do think there is room for a spoof or parody of those god awful BBC shows about gentile rich folks. Comedy central if you run the series PLEASE sit the cast and director down and explain the difference between comedy and acting like buffoons. And please try to do the show in a way that doesn't telegraph every punch line or sight gag. We don't need you to over do it to get that it is funny. Here is an easy way to do this- right now they are at 11 on the overacting scale- turn it down to a 5 and let these amazing comedic actors do comedy but instead of 3 Stooges with a lobotomy with a dash of 5 year old after too much sugar.

Thomas Ford I don't know where to start, the overacting is beyond words. This must have been meant for the cartoon crowd. I normally don't take the time to dump on something, because someone thought to put in some hard work on this, but it was so bad I only lasted 10 minuets before I shut it off. I just didn't base it on that 10 minuets though, I did check out other Episodes for about as long as I checked out the Pilot. I guess when you only see two professional critics take a stab at a review, and one was in Spanish, then I should have known that critics also didn't want to take our time when something is this bad. I doubt we will see any follow-up seasons.....
