The action set pieces are majestic and demand…

I’ve been a fan of the dysfunctional yet grounded Belcher family since its inception way back in 2011. Bob is always the nervous Gen X’er trying to survive with his failing family restaurant. Linda is the very hyper and positive mom who does everything in her power to keep the family afloat. Louise is the…
