Is it worth starting?
This is 24 seasons deep — English animation with a comedy streak, not one for younger kids. That score holds across 5,111 ratings, so it's about as safe as this week's list gets.
- Why
- 7.4/10 over 5,111 ratings — solidly liked rather than loved, and the number isn't going to move.
- Skip if
- you don't want to start something several seasons deep
- Best for
- A long run rather than a single sitting
Story
Sick, twisted, politically incorrect and Freakin' Sweet animated series featuring the adventures of the dysfunctional Griffin family. Bumbling Peter and long-suffering Lois have three kids. Stewie (a brilliant but sadistic baby bent on killing his mother and taking over the world), Meg (the oldest, and is the most unpopular girl in town) and Chris (the middle kid, he's not very bright but has a passion for movies). The final member of the family is Brian - a talking dog and much more than a pet, he keeps Stewie in check whilst sipping Martinis and sorting through his own life issues.
