Ten minutes into “Central Park” comes the kind of true-blue Broadway group number that brings every character and chord crashing together in a burst of overt ambitions and desires. Ther…
, “Central Park” takes the heartwarming pulse of “Bob’s Burgers” and cranks it up to eleven. The musical interludes are frequent and wildly catchy, usually catered to their singers’ strengths. Odom Jr., for example, gets soaring choruses and talky verses that recall his run as Aaron Burr in the original “Hamilton” cast, while Cole’s preteen melodrama lets Burgess belt with his signature flair.
The one confusing piece of casting, unfortunately, is Bell’s Molly. Bell’s more than capable of voicing an awkward teenager, but Molly’s a biracial teen who spends most of her time drawing herself into a superhero comic in which her afro puffs have powers. Hearing Bell’s voice come out of that character is genuinely jarring, and disappointing, besides.
That exception is especially frustrating because, generally speaking, Molly and her family make for some of the show’s best moments, even as the series volleys between the park and the powerful rich people trying to destroy it for their own interests. Even as the show is still honing its particular version of New York City four episodes in, its characters are generally sharp and funny enough to keep it zipping along in the meantime.
