COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Excellent Series submitted by ekrieger on July 2, 2019, 10:06pm This series is wonderfully entertaining, weird, relatable, and fun.

"Things are not what they seem in this small town" is an understatement, as there are many layers that come together in a surprisingly intricate way. The show is a little slow to start plot-wise as it has to introduce the characters, their relationships with one another, and the mysteries of the town, but picks up pretty quickly. The characters are unique and there's a nice amount of self-aware humor that adults will appreciate.

One thing I really like about this series is that it was always intended to be a succinct story, and the show's creator voluntarily chose to end it when it did because the brevity reflects the show itself - it's about the friends and memories made in one single summer, and it really captures that feeling. For reference, I'm 30 and have watched this series several times since it aired. It's one of my favorites!

Great show submitted by trina05 on June 21, 2023, 12:54pm Gravity falls is entertaining for our entire family. I appreciate the different relationships, the exploration of the towns many weirdnesses, and that it all wraps up succinctly

Fun for all ages submitted by neslerc on July 27, 2023, 1:49pm A great series with humor that should appeal to kids and adults alike. It takes a little while to get going but it has a through plot unlike a lot of cartoons

One of my favorite shows! submitted by Gillerdeer on August 25, 2023, 10:13am I started watching this show in college and still return to it when I want something reliably comforting and entertaining, so I can confirm that it is definitely great for adults. Everything about this show works. The mysterious yet quaint town of Gravity Falls balances the weird and supernatural (zombies, gnomes, otherworldly forces) with the comically mundane (a whole host of unique and hilarious small town characters). The tone of the show is simultaneously more wholesome than any other show I've seen from Disney, but also far edgier -- it feels genuine (genuinely heartfelt, genuinely clever and funny) which is hard to get from cartoons, or from any show, for that matter. And the show balances really entertaining single-episode stories with a very intriguing and well-paced overarching plot that reveals some of the town's mysteries. I can't recommend this show enough! Especially if you like weird and kitschy things, this is for you. I've heard people call this show Twin Peaks for kids. And they even have a reference to Twin Peaks in one of the episodes, which is pretty cool.

Also, if you watch the show and enjoy the humor, you should check out interviews with Alex Hirsch (the creator) where he talks about the constant battle with Disney about which jokes he wasn't allowed to put in the show. It's really funny to hear about the absurd arguments they had.

A series is really worth your time submitted by Margaret on July 18, 2024, 10:16pm Gravity Falls is one of those TV series that seriously broke down a lot of barriers. It was not afraid to up the scare factor being a sci-fi/horror/comedy series. The animation is very simplistic, but it’s very easy on the eyes sometimes. I love all the characters in the series, they all have interesting story arcs and are very well written on many different levels. Alex Hirsch has a marvel of talents Voicing several different characters in the series and Putting the series based on stories from his childhood with his twin sister. The series is great for kids teenagers and adults. I highly recommend it.
