Fatherhood With My Father, the most recent offering in the long-running relationship between comedian Jack Whitehall and his father Michael Whitehall, has hit the small screen, but the question on everyone's mind is: have we finally seen enough of this tired shtick?
The show, which follows the Whitehalls as Jack becomes a father, offers a slightly different twist on the duo's previous endeavors. However, beneath the surface-level changes lies more of the same faux bickering and comedy that has been their calling card for years.
With each passing series, it becomes increasingly clear that this particular brand of family-centric humor is, well, wearing a little thin. What initially charmed audiences with its freshness and lightheartedness has devolved into a tired routine that leans heavily on the now-familiar dynamic between the father-son duo.
Throughout the series, the Whitehalls navigate the world of fatherhood and family life with their signature humor, but one can't help but feel that it's all been done before – and, more often than not, done with better results. One would hope that with the arrival of a new baby, the stakes would be higher, and the comedy would be sharper, but unfortunately, that's just not the case.
What made the Whitehalls so lovable in the first place was their witty banter and the way they managed to poke fun at each other without ever crossing the line into mean-spiritedness. However, as time has gone on, this once-sharp wit has dulled, and it's clear that they're starting to coast on their now-expected family fights rather than pushing the envelope and trying something new.
This begs the question: where can this franchise go from here? With its premise starting to show signs of staleness, it's becoming increasingly obvious that something drastic needs to be done to shake things up and inject some much-needed life back into this tired but once beloved series. If not, it may well be time to bid farewell to the Whitehalls and their unique take on familial comedy.
