A perfect 100% on Rotten Tomatoes across 24 reviews; multiple critics named it the funniest comedy of the year - a comedy of such structural density that repeat viewings reveal layers invisible on first pass.
Renewal: Original three-season Fox run ended February 10, 2006. Netflix revival ran Seasons 4 and 5 from 2013 to 2019. No further continuation has been confirmed following the Season 5 finale. (Wikipedia)
