Review of Doomlands

Doomlands (2022– )
8/10
Quite good ultra-violence
17 April 2022
This show just manages to be likeable. It has that ensemble feeling. Like a small group of main characters that just clicks together, like in Futurama.

It also has a futuristic setting, such as Futurama. However, this is a post apocalyptic wasteland setting, such as in Mad Max. It is an unexpected setting for a comedy cartoon, but it works. I hadn't thought of it before, but now I'd like to see more comedies in this type of setting. I think this could be an under developed genre.

Some other users have mentioned it, but it does have a sort of Rick and Morty vibe to it, mainly because the main characters voice is very similar to the voice from Rick and Morty. There is also alot of gory violence, which is also similar to that show, as well as the art style. Actually, it pretty much is ripping off that show.

However, the story is totally different, which is good, so it does stand on its own.

I really like the voice actress of Lhandi (Kayla Lorette). Idk why. But, she is definitely my favorite character. Without her, I probably would have a very different opinion of this show. She is what does it for me. She is so funny, and sort of innocent and relatable seeming. And yet, she is somewhat sophisticated and not quite so innocent seeming. So, even though she is innocent seeming, she doesn't get shocked by things, that one would expect someone to be shocked by, someone such as Morty. It works for her. As I said, she is the stand out character on this show.

Anyways, the show is quite violent and a bit mean spirited, similar to Rick and Morty. Some might not like that, and usually I don't really like it. But, the character of Lhandi helps balance it out, with her niceness and innocence. So, the show ends up being a little easier to take than the nihilism seen on other violent shows like Rick and Morty, or SuperJail. I reccomend it.
