I know this show gets a lot of love, and I can certainly see why, but I was never able to fully settle in and fall in love with it myself.
As a fan of Rick and Morty and Adventure Time, the style and sense of humour, even some character dynamics, felt welcomingly familiar, but, disappointingly, never pushed beyond the stereotypical, predictable barriers.
Whilst I recognised and appreciated the jokes within each episode, they were never enough to make me laugh-out-loud, and were tirelessly shrouded by a sarcastic, contrived use of synchronicity which quickly lost its comedic effect.
Despite being appropriate for and enjoyed by both kids and adults, because of their predominantly younger target audience, I feel the creators were a little restricted. All the elements were there: great animation, good characters and voice acting, fun mysteries, visual gags and pop culture references... but it felt like its power and appeal was split between the age groups and each only ended up getting fifty percent.
It's definitely a creative series, and I'm glad to have seen it, but it simply didn't live up to the hype for me.
Score: 6.75/10.
