Government Cheese is an odd duck of a show. Despite its infectiously quirky energy, outstanding 60s-themed production design, brightly colored sheen, and David Oyelowo and Bokeem Woodbine doing everything they can to hook the viewer, there just isn’t much to latch on to from a story perspective. It meanders way too much, in both plot and tone, and at breakneck speed. Characters come and go so fleetingly that they hardly resonate, while seemingly major plot points are forgotten for long stretches. A little more focus would have done this series a world of good, because as is, it has no idea what it wants to be.
