I've enjoyed it quite a bit so far. The first handful of episodes were definitely shaky, but I felt the show had really started to come into its own and find its feet with the most recent few episodes.

*Says something vague*
Hadn't this been announced a while ago? I could've sworn I read this a few months back.
Okay, we’ll just tell you now. She’s the one who dies.
HE NOSE THE TRUTH.
I am not getting you a magnum condom for your monster dong, Frank.
I don't see the point in the gimmicky framing of this article. Just tell us what the new shows are and whether or not they're worth checking out, then leave us a pizza and a six pack by the door and be on your way.
Lopsidedown, you blow hard!
I think he just works best when he has an Odenkirk to bounce ideas off of.
This seems… really unnecessary. I enjoyed the first season, back when the show was actually about a man making increasingly poor decisions, but once it became a show about an entitled billionaire sociopath manipulating said man into making those decisions, it just became really unpleasant to watch, and frankly, I was…
Wow, that's weird, I've been rewatching King of the Hill in chronological order (via non-broadcast means) and am actually up to the exact same episode that's airing on Adult Swim tonight!
Honestly, I think the best thing the show's done to humanise Frank would be the intro. It really puts his overall demeanor and outlook into perspective when you consider all he's been through up until that point.
It's our job to be repetitive. Our job. Our job. Repetitiveness is our job!
I have enough minor knowledge of the OJ trial to get broader jokes on the subject (and the occasional Johnnie Cochran reference), but that's about it. This one was a lot more specific.
Did you know that rural jurors speedwalk everywhere and are scared of toilets?
I didn't get the OJ references until I read through the comments for those episodes (though, in my defense, I'm in my mid 20s, so the whole thing's just before my time).
I don't think the show's trying to do either, really - it's more or less going for era-specific authenticity with his character, presented in more of a King of the Hill-esque "slice-of-life" kind of way. Less "here's how you should take it," and more "here's how it was," if that makes sense.
His character design here is also quite similar to his character design in Unsupervised (albeit with a different hairstyle).
I was on the fence with the first episode, but this one really sold me. The scene with Frank and Kevin on the drive home hit the "sweet and funny" spot just perfectly. I've been very pleasantly surprised by this show for the most part, particularly in terms of how much heart it actually has.
BoJack Horseman's also not a particularly great looking show, either (I love BoJack Horseman to pieces, but let's be honest, nobody's watching it for the visuals). Netflix's animated shows definitely don't seem to have the same budgets as those of the major networks.
