Andrae G This was a really good show that was funny and serious at the same time. A story of a person trying to redeem himself after making bad decisions that put him in jail and took him away from his family. But in his journey for redemption he continues to make mistakes all while following the path that he believes that God put him on. Also the cinematography was beautiful with the 1960's esthetics. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/26/25 Full Review Eric N There is a lot going on in Government Cheese and, for the most part, it works. The actors are all very appealing. The writing is quirky and engaging. The period sets, costumes and music are fantastic. Having said that, I'm not sure the whole show comes together, as there are a lot of disparate elements, rabbit holes and dead ends that make the first season a bit scattered. Still, I appreciate that Apple TV+ continues to produce out-of-the-box, entertaining series that you typically won't find anywhere else. This includes offerings like Acapulco, Hello Tomorrow, The Big Door Prize, The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin, Palm Royale, etc. All those series kept me entertained, even if some of them didn't completely work. Without giving anything substantial away, Government Cheese leaves a lot of balls in the air at the end of season one. So, like some of the above-mentioned shows and others, I really hope that Apple TV+ greenlights a second season. As far as the first season, I'd rate it an 8.2.

This is so stale and I couldn't care less about the story. Feels like a weird half-baked Wes Anderson ripoff. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/20/25 Full Review Debbie S I didn’t think I would like this show but I was hooked after watching the 2nd episode. The main character, Hampton, struggles between following his heart and doing good or being sucked back into his old ways of crime. My favorite part is twitching him trying to to reconnect with his sons and win his wife back. I especially like episode 5 written by Wes Brown.
