A few years ago, my sister and I lived together. We binge-watched old shows like Gossip Girl and Grey’s Anatomy and we kept up with newer network TV hits together. Cut ahead a few years, and we have our own places and even subscribe to dissimilar streaming services. The other day I tried to get her to watch Stumble, and I realized she didn’t have a way to do it. As we’re heading into cancelation season, this really worries me.
I’ve watched a lot of comedies during my time at CinemaBlend, and you hardly ever see a Season 1 sitcom with as perfect of a narrative arc as Stumble has had. It has everything: actually fun cheer routines, young, dumb love, a solid core couple (a la Friday Night Lights), an over-the-top German villain, and a stoplight that only changes like once an hour.
