Watchseries; The entire ensemble is about perfect. Garret Dillahunt is brilliant as always and Martha Plimpton is fearlessly hysterical, but everyone shines, there are no weak links here. The writing hits a perfect balance of humor and humanity, wholesomeness and vulgarity, all against the backdrop of the craziness in the beginning of the pandemic. Just wish I could binge em all now....

Sprung watchseries. So, This HAS to be the most tastefully executed "pandemic era" storylined shows - hands down! ...and holy cow, is it FUNNY! It's rare that a pilot is ever THIS good. So, the main cast is so solid and my gawd, do they all have high quality chemistry. I'n so impressed by the edgy, witty dialog and strong character development right from the jump. Even the freaking supporting cast is a hoot; what a fantastic cameo of Joey Diaz giving "advice" while on the can in the clink. After JUST watching the pilot... This show already has struck a perfect balance between high/low brow comedy with a playful and unapologetic delivery. I've been longing for something new that has the quality of a great show - like The Office. I think that I've found it.
By the two episodes currently available, I'm impressed. I'm a fan of Greg Garcia's work, and Sprung is exactly what I expect from him. The Guest Book missed the mark for me, as it lacked a lot of his earmarks and relied too heavily on shock value. Sprung has likeable dirtbag characters, raunchy comedy at the right levels, little things to keep an eye out for (H. I. McDonnough Penitentiary), a whole lot of 1970s kitsch, an AMC Pacer, and a really sweet undercurrent. It has all the charm that Raising Hope and My Name is Earl did, while being fresh and imaginative at the same time. Sprung really feels like a Greg Garcia show.
Martha Plimpton and Garrett Dillahunt are fantastic, too. I was worried I'd only be able to see them as Virginia and Burt Chance, but they are perfect as Barb and Jack. They're amazing actors and I can't wait to see more of them.
I don't often put a review on IMDB because lately they want 600 characters in a review and who has the time. But this show is so clever and so hysterical in a smart way. So many stupid, silly comedies out there I have no patience for, at times I wonder who watches those shows.
But Sprung is so well written with huge imagination and colorful comedic sense. It takes us back to the lunacy times when Corona just happened in a realistic yet hysterical way, when some prisoners were let go before their time.
Sure worth watching, I have seen 4 episodes on Amazon that are released so far, hope it continues this way.
Yall this show is so good freevee my lord and saviour you have made the best show ever. Im emotionally attached to every character even though im only two episodes in, everyone working on the show has done such a good job from the main cast, to the background characters, to the writers ,and everyone else.
This series is off to a great start! If you're a fan of Garcia, (My Name Is Earl, Raising Hope, Yes, Dear, The Guest Room) you'd know this was a Greg Garcia joint right off the bat.
It's also nice to see Dillahunt & Plimpton (Burt & Virginia Chance from Raising Hope) back together. Their chemistry is undeniable. Plimpton's character, Barb ("like the wire with the sharp needles on it") is so over the top, it's hilarious watching Martha just run with it. Philip Garcia's Rooster is the guy to watch, that character is a riot!
The premise is brilliant and similar to Earl, without being derivative. The set up for each episode opens the door for a slew of guest stars and could lead to an enjoyable and lengthy timeline.
This is seriously one of the best new comedies on TV. I just hope that it being a Freevee exclusive doesn't limit its reach, Sprung has multi-season potential.
Looking forward to much more Sprung! Gregory Thomas Garcia is BACK!
