Premise


Duncanville centers on the life of Duncan Harris, an average 15-year-old boy who is always one step away from making a bad decision. Duncan lives with his family. His family includes his mother, Annie, a meter maid, who dreams of being a detective someday and always has to watch Duncan to keep him from screwing up; his father, Jack, who tries to be a better father figure to Duncan than his own father was to him; his younger 12-year-old sister Kimberly, who is an awkward and angsty tween going through normal teen-phases; and his other sister Jing, an adopted intelligent 5-year-old Asian who is always giving Duncan advice. Mia is Duncan's on-and-off crush. Other recurring characters include Mr Mitch, a teacher at the school that works a series of other jobs, Duncan's friends, Yangzi, Bex, and Wolf; the Harris' neighbor, Helen Diggins, Jack's mean-spirited father Dick, and Annie's con-man brother, Stan Theman.

Reception






= Critical response

On Rotten Tomatoes, the series has an approval rating of 91% based on 11 reviews, with an average rating of 6.30/10. The website's critics consensus reads, "Amy Poehler lends her buoyant pipes to dual roles in Duncanville, a modest animated comedy that gets a lot of mileage out of its colorful palette and daydream flourishes." On Metacritic, it has a weighted average score of 64 out of 100 based on 6 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".
Robyn Bahr of The Hollywood Reporter praised the series for its humor, stating it contains smart joke-telling and manages to be pleasant, and complimented the performances of the voice actors, while calling the main character nondescript, stating, "Duncanville is another family-friendly comedy that seems about as connected to today's youth as its Groupon jokes seem relevant to 2020. There's something particularly '90s about this sitcom that might be intended to feel nostalgic, but really comes off as retrograde." Sulgana Misra of The A.V. Club gave "Pilot" a B, found the series funny and entertaining, praised Poehler's charm and the family dynamics of the show, but criticized the main character's lack of interesting motivation. Ben Travers of IndieWire gave the show's first two episodes a B− grade, stated Duncanville has potential despite being a sitcom about a white working-class family, writing, "Filled with good ideas, appealing designs, and a strong cast, the half-hour comedy has enough potential to warrant keeping track of, while we wait to see how its rounded edges are sharpened into a singular vision." Melissa Camacho of Common Sense Media rated the series 3 out of 5 stars, writing, "Duncanville is an animated sitcom about an average teenager living life with his family and friends. It has some sex jokes and crude language, and characters argue and hurl insults. [...] References to things like Twizzlers, Groupon, and Papa John's Pizza are common. Movies, music albums, and characters from a range of popular culture are heavily incorporated into the story, too."
