Decker

Decker is a spin-off of the web-series "On Cinema at the Cinema" in which Tim Heidecker and Gregg Turkington review movies. Decker is a project their characters undertake on "On Cinema." If you're not familiar with the characters on that show you won't fully appreciate their characters on Decker. On Cinema has been around for years and can be watched on YouTube--I'd HIGHLY recommend watching those "seasons" prior to watching Decker because the evolution of Tim & Gregg on that show lays the foundation for much of the humor of Decker. Each year they also do an "Oscar Special" that runs over 3 hours--those are WELL worth watching as they contain much of the Dekkar stuff and the sustained absurdity is mind-blowing. Plus "On Cinema" is funny as hell.

Like "On Cinema," Decker is absurdist anti-humor. It is ridiculously bad in every way possible. Generally speaking, if you like Tim & Eric, Eric Andre, or other Adult Swim type programs you'll most likely love this.

Seasons 1 & 2 are favorites. Season 3 (Decker vs Dracula) is decent but relies on FX too much. Adult Swim took over the production of Season 4 (Decker Unclassified) and it's a little too slick for my taste; Decker is best when produced with almost no budget.

Down in Louisiana working on a chain gang, Decker has obscured his native accent and mastered the voices of all nations depending on the the need at hand. This skill is useful when going deep under cover amongst the very real terrorist threat that threatens our freedom. When I say Decker is our modern day Jimi Hendrix it's because of this. He doesn't rely on gimmicks. Simply put, he gives a damn and I realize speaking my mind with or without spoilers IMDb will most likely add my name to their blacklist. I know Decker is destined for heaven because he has already been to hell, Oklahoma and Spain baby. "It's tremendously exciting.... This series knows how to generate tension and throw you off your usual TV-watching balance better than any other..." Entertainment Weekly.

When this came out it was totally original and now alot of the themes and tropes that were used in this show are used by Hollywood Elites the likes of Tom Cruise, and James Bond and Zero Dark Thirty to try to be as good as Decker but there will never match the attitude of the original CIA agent known as John Decker. Just remember if you are watching it now that it was the orignal and alot of the characters like the president Davidson and agent Klington were groundbreaking at the time.

There are tw kinds of people in the world, people that think the Three Stooges are funny, and those that think there are just stupid. People that are criticizing this show seem to think the special effects are intended to be real, but the show doesn't have the budget. Nope! That's not it, they purposefully make the effects, the acting, the writing and even the concepts as bad as possible. That's what's funny and even genius about it. I don't think it could be any better

Decker is an absolute work of art involving an undercover CIA agent named Jack Decker. A true patriot who has to save American from terrorism, with the help of his sidekick Special Agent Code Breaker Jonathon Kington, the master of codes himself, who also plays a major role in the show.

Absolute brilliant storytelling with an intense story line and brilliant acting portraying convincing and genuine characters that defiantly deserves a few Emmy nominations. Phenomenal cinematography and cutting edge special effects (especially for its low budget) that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Decker is defiantly up there with the top TV shows of all time and will make you a proud American after you've seen it.
