Captain Fall

This is something I haven't seen before. Not that I can think of, anyway. At first I thought it would be like Archer. But it's much darker. It's such a complete juxtaposition. Silly on one hand and on the other hand, uncomfortably dark. I could see people being offended by the way the subject matter is treated. But it's not all for superficial laughs. There is a very sinister undertone. I found myself laughing at the buffoon looking through the wrong end of the binoculars in an episode about child soldiers. Includes many tonal shifts and many levels. It's absurd and serious at the same time. People saying this is just normal comedy that they've seen before must be watching it while they're ironing. It's a show that says "Look how silly this guy is. He doesn't even realize that he's being used to murder multiple people (on screen) and kidnap people to be used as sex slaves. Haha isn't that funny?" Isn't it?

It started out rocky, had a vibe of an Archer wannabe be, closer to the infamous Velma. The amount of unnecessary violence is through the roof.

However, after 5-7 episodes it kind of grows on you. I enjoyed most of the characters having multidimensional personalities, which is kind of rare at Netflix.

Also the plot is pretty fresh and creative, and absurd enough to be fun.

Animation is nice, nothing special but not bad.

I like that a lot of characters have their own accents, or speak different languages. Voice actors did a good job as well.

I'm looking forward to see where it will get in the second season.

I started this expecting more unrelenting sex and dick jokes that Netflix's adult animation tv shows consist of, but what I got was something really refreshing.

The tv show has a genuine story, has its own humour, and you really don't know what's coming next from episode to episode. The humour isn't quite to the cackles I had watching the first part of inside job, but again the intriguing story really sets it apart as something that needs to be watched.

I don't really have anything else to say, just making up the rest of the word count, but definitely give it a go. Really hoping they don't decide to cancel it!

Well I did not see this coming.

I can't really explain what it is. It is not laugh-out-loud funny. But it was a cathartic experience for me. If you are tired of the mind-numbing idiocy all around the world, and would want to have a beer with Dan Harmon and the ghost of George Carlin as they brutally mock them all, well, this show gets you partway there.

Bloody-handed Russian oligarchs, shameless oil sheikhs, clueless Scandinavians, insufferable middle-aged married couples that you hate on TV, none are safe.... from savage mockery.

I expect the average viewers will not be able to appreciate this. I hope Netflix knew that when they signed up for this show, and keep new seasons coming regardless.

This show has a great animation style. The background characters actually have life to them. At the end of each episode you are left wondering what will happen next and how it will go down. Compared to most of schlock animated series that are Netflix, this one stands out as a unique one for me amognst some of the better ones. I can see why some wouldn't like this show due to how the protagonist is presented to be dry or some of the humor in it might not click with them. Overall, I was invested from start to finish with this Netflix animated series. I'd say give this a go and see if you like it.
