Fairview is an American adult animated satirical sitcom created by R. J. Fried and executive produced by The Late Show host Stephen Colbert.

It premiered on Comedy Central on February 9, 2022, and received negative reviews with critics lambasting the series for its writing, humor, and social commentary. This show only consists of 8 episodes. Although there was no cancellation announcement, the series was not renewed for a second season.

Synopsis

Set in a world populated by anthropomorphic nesting dolls, the series focuses on how national political issues caused societal problems within the communities through an interaction with the dysfunctional citizens of Fairview, a so-called idyllic small town inhabited with idiotic party people who are willing to urinate in the public and fighting in the parking lots. The town is overseen by Kelly Sampson, a former party girl turned mayor (who is not the smartest person in the book), along with her fellow incompetent political figures and their families.[1]

Reception

Critical response

Fairview has received negative reviews, with critics lambasting the series for its writing, humor, and social commentary. Nick Schager of The Daily Beast called the show a "tasteless mockery of small-town America" and goes on by saying "[i]ts animation is similarly dreary, with character designs that feature no hands, legs or feet; the bottom of each figure is instead a rounded ball as if everyone were an anthropomorphic round-bottomed dolls or kids’ punching bag."[14] Maxwell Yezpitelok of Cracked.com derided its writing and humor, saying "[s]hows like Fairview skip ahead to the point where the showrunners are already kind of burned out and grabbing ideas from whatever's on the news, without the benefit of having previously developed strong characters and a distinctive style."[15] Both critics have also been compared the show unfavorably to South Park.
