Agent Elvis

Very adult action, humor, sex, violence. Hey its America, that's how we roll!! Lol Love it. I really believe Elvis himself would enjoy. Some of us can still keep a level head, not be offended by everything, and remember its OK and even admirable to laugh at ourselves.

The songs in background Elvis himself, how great is that. Elvis physical appearance is him at hos best, Pricilla voices herself and approved all facets. His karate, love of weapons, law enforcement appreciation all here. The time period is even accurate incorporating historic events like the Apollo 11 landing, the '68 TV Special, his dislike of Robert Goulet!! Lol

It's a cartoon people, keep that in mind so everything is amped up some.

Elvis 1968 to 1971 was about the coolest man on the planet. As cool or cooler than Elvis 1954 to 1958? Who cares!? This cartoon is late 60s, early 70s Elvis, reinvented in cartoon form as a Matt Helm/ Our Man Flint / Archer/ Johnny Bravo character. And ... it's cool! It's fun! It's stupid ... fun, cool stupid. The sort of Elvis fan who genuflects at his name will consider this toon romp as unforgiveable blasphemy, and will be most likely want to dump on the cartoon. I'm a fan of Elvis and have been for decades ... got a tattoo, everything he's recorded (bad and superb), etc. You don't have to be an Elvis fan to enjoy this series, but the silliness, stupid violence and general irreverence should give this wider appeal.

Some nice, subtle satire too.

At worst, Archer and Men In Black did it better (and first).

At best, it is a fun revisionist-history spy-comedy serial.

It does break new ground from its other comps by dialing up the cartoon nudity, cartoon sex, cartoon violence, cartoon pee, and cartoon zoophilia to 11. Part of those in that list don't feel earned; like the crude humor and side character deaths feel out of place and force just for the sake of being crude.

The voice acting is great, and the animation style is fun.

At the end of it all, I did sorta wish there was more than just 10 episodes, so I think it is worth a watch, and at least a second season.

Yes, they missed the mark in some places, but some are right on. I was raised in the '50s and '60s, and while I heard the music (my grandma wore the grooves off of her "Hound Dog" 45), I mostly know all of the '60s movies he was in - hot lead chick and a combo that somehow sounded like a full orchestra, while the songs had forced, cheesy lyrics. Loved 'em all though.

Anyway, I like the way Elvis comes across here. They work to get in his real likes and dislikes. I like that it's set in a period of his real life. I like that sometimes the poses look like Elvis - a karate stance, for instance. While most of the characters are animated in a simpler style, his face looks like Elvis. (The same style was used on Paul. Would have liked it on Priscilla, but OK.)

Some people want an impressionist to do an Elvis voice - I disagree. I think using Matthew McConaughey is a great choice. I think he is Elvis-ish here in his personality. It's hard to like movies that try to hit an iconic accent and fail.

Don't like Don Cheadle's character. He is too weird and creepy and doesn't need to be. Maybe shouldn't have been a main character. It's like the writers thought they had to throw in something off the wall. We already had some other weirdness... like the monkey. What's with all of that character's problems? That wore me out. Take it way down.

And the main idea is "Agent" Elvis - like maybe his (real) time with Nixon and (real) fixation with law enforcement came to fruition. Should have gotten to the "agent" part much sooner.

Still, I liked the overall attempt and was waiting to see how the next season went. Of course, as I write this I find out Netflix is canceling it...

I came for Elvis and his music, stayed for Matthew McConaughey - Best choice for voicing Elvis!

Miss these 60's era shows with their Pulp Fiction style action. The humour is crude and way more reflective of that time than now which may not work for a lot of the current generation.

Overall the series has a lot of potential. I do feel the cussing and f bombs went a bit overboard but the pace and style is good.

Being set in the 60s, a lot of humour would be impossible now with everything being offensive or triggering but if people can let go of their hangups and just enjoy this series as an animation, its a fun watch.
