Paradise PD

I forced myself to watch the first three episodes, just to see if it started to grow on me. It didn't.

I could just leave it at that, and ignore all the 10/10 reviews comparing this to Rick and Morty or Family Guy. But I can't. I like those shows too much.

Paradise PD is an uninspired, uncultured, juvenile attempt at shock humour. It doesn't give me anything to think about (unlike the good ones) and it sure doesn't make me laugh either.

I used to love Brickleberry, and this show is very, very similar, just instead of a national park its a police department, and by Golly, I am a big fan of heavily offensive shows. But alas Brickleberry got canceled only after 3 seasons, which seems to be the cutoff age for such shows (see Drawn Together...) Sooo, my fear is this show, being equally offensive, will again not last for very long, even though its on Netflix, who aren't as concerned with the outrage of snowflakes as TV stations.

But other than that, its a pretty fun show - offensive, hella funny, so I wholeheartedly recommend it.

I feel so sorry for Black and O'Guin; as a truly long-term fan of Brickleberry, it must have been soul-destroying for them to lose the show they loved and not be allowed to make more episodes.

So they did the next best thing and here's Paradise PD.

But the problem is: it's the same show, but the characters aren't nearly as endearing. They're all just a bit too weird and unlikeable.

The jokes are the same, but they fall flat without Ethel and Denzel to deliver them in their original Brickleberry setting. Even the walking dog, Bullet, is a pale imitation of Malloy.

I will watch all the episodes in homage to the creators, but this isn't Brickleberry 2, or even 1.1; it's a weaker show as the creators blew their load (creatively - don't be rude) on Brickleberry and this is a pale substitute.

Blame Comedy Central for not allowing further episodes to be made, OR for graciously allowing the creators to shift the show to Netflix. But that's another story for another day.

If you liked Brickleberry there's enough to enjoy here. For everyone else, it's a bit too weird and offensive and crude. It's definitely NOT for kids!!!

This has some of the dumbest humor and ridiculous characters.... and I love every bit of it.

If you liked Brickleberry you'll like it, if you didn't you won't.
