Before Covid struck in 2020. I had been to see some young comedians doing a tour of the UK. I told my wife that apart from one of them. Most of the acts were a variation of Eddie Murphy, Chris Rock, Peter Kay and Jo Brand.
You are talking childhood reminiscences which gets pretty boring when five comedians do the same thing in a row.
Son of a Critch is a variation of shows like The Wonder Years and Everybody Hates Chris.
Mark Critch is a Canadian comedian and the series is adapted from his memoirs.
The pilot is set in 1986 as young Mark Critch, a wisecracking asthmatic starts his new Catholic junior high school in Newfoundland. This means going on the school bus and he gets bullied by the red headed Fox family. They steal his lunch.
The only friend he makes is Filipino Ritchie Perez, another new kid in school. He is the sole person of colour in the entire school.
The first episode felt derivative. The antics on the school bus, the nun who likes to wield the strap, the lunch being stolen. Even young Mark using his humour to stand up to the female Fox sibling. There was nothing original here.
