F Is for Family (2015)

F Is for Family is an adult animated dramedy that drops viewers into the messy, loud, and often tender world of the Murphy family in 1970s America. Anchored by Frank Murphy — a frustrated, hard-working dad trying to provide for his family while clinging to the few comforts life gives him — the series follows a stressed mother doing her best to meet social expectations, a moody teenage son obsessed with rock ’n’ roll, a fun-seeking middle child, and a tomboyish little girl who’s still her father’s favorite. Watching the show feels like stepping into a vivid period piece: cigarette smoke, classic rock on the radio, beer at the end of the day, and a culture where TV and rigid gender roles dominated. The animation and writing deliver blunt, often raunchy comedy and furious outbursts alongside surprising warmth and honest emotional beats. Episodes mix dark humor and satire with genuine family drama and character growth, so you’ll laugh at the absurdities of the era and wince at its harder truths. Expect loud, adult-oriented jokes, sharp social commentary about work, parenting, and masculinity, and moments of real poignancy that reveal how this imperfect family holds together. If you like nostalgic, adult animated shows that balance crude humor with heart and social insight, F Is for Family will both entertain and make you feel like you’ve been dropped into a complicated, very human slice of 1970s life.
