"Cuckoo" Netflix Original Series





"Cuckoo" is a Netflix original series based in the UK, wherein a sweet British girl brings home a dumb, freeloading, American hippie as her surprise husband after spending a year abroad. Obviously, the father is unhappy with the sudden news and soon, worlds collide. The first season was the best because it  stars Andy Sandberg as "Cuckoo" and he does a magnificent job portraying the loser son-in-law. However, he dies in the first episode of the second season while hiking the Himilayan mountains alone. They also replaced the lead female role, "Rachel", with a totally different British girl and she is much more attractive. The only thing I don't like about the two recent seasons is the addition of Taylor Lautner to the cast. 

Andy Sandberg only did the first season for some reason, and then Lautner took the lead role. He plays "Dale", "Cuckoo's" illegitimate son from an Indian woman who he got pregnant when he was only 13. It only gets more and more bizarre from there! "Cuckoo's" widow falls in love with his son, "Dale" and they begin a weird, inappropriate romance together. "Dale" is even more unpredictable and eccentric than "Cuckoo" was. However, he is not nearly as funny as Andy Sandberg and that's why the first season was the best.
