Exploding Kittens

Perhaps the mere fact that my low expectations were so widely exceeded OR.. or... And bear with me now (is it 'bear' or 'bare'? ).. OR perhaps it's just REALLY GOOD (cause it IS), but I'm loving this! And for the official record, my pedigree in western animation is substantial (don't tell anyone but I actually watch em all, which for a middle aged white guy, is sad?) but, ya this is solid 100 percent worth your time! Animation 9 voice acting 9 Story 9 (so why did I give it an 8? Lol, cause for me 9s are 10s and I reserve 10s for the all time like an Attenborough documentary or Rick and Morty, sooo...)

First of all I will say, I didn't know it was a game but I just loved this!!! Tom Ellis' voice made this for me, knew it immediately and great casting! I'm surprised at the low ratings and I think it should be all 10's. I definitely lol'd throughout and actually binged it, went right through and enjoyed every single minute. I recommend this to everyone I know, especially cat lovers. I agree with one reviewer who said everyone needs to relax and chill out! This was never meant to win an Oscar, it's just pure comedic entertainment. Although I think I'm going to rewatch Lucifer again! Need me some Tom Ellis.

Yeah...so I gave this a fair shot since I figured a lot of the negative reviews were just brigaiding from the religious lot. Nah though, it's just not that great.

It feels like the "hello fellow kids, I too enjoy musicband" of adult animation. The jokes aren't *bad* but they are kinda stale and tryhard. The visual gags are a little bit better, but only a little bit. The dialogue/voice acting is a kind of Upbeat Quirky Snark™ that was already feeling done to death 10 years ago. It just feels so, so generic, "safe", like it was made purely for mass commercial appeal by a panel of old men.

The parenting jokes are overdone and not well integrated. The teens are so clearly written by adults that don't know any teens. The cats are seriously underutilised and when they do get screen time it's more imitation edginess that just doesn't land. It's boring. It's a shame because the concept isn't a bad one, it just totally fails to deliver.

I can't even call it bad - it's not interesting enough to be bad - but it's really not good either.

Are you people expecting perfection every time you watch a show or movie? So many negative reviews and 1 star ratings. Really? You think this show is as bad as could possibly be? That's what the one implies.

The show is exactly what it advertised, a silly cartoon with decent jokes based of a admittedly meh card game. I personally like the relationship between GC and DC. The family is not exactly new or unique, but they stick to their cliche roles and do it well. Chill out, lower your standards and have a little fun. If all you ever expect is the best then you will be constantly disappointed. Thanks for reading.

It is on the same level as good as Family Guy or American Dad, beautifully executed and super hilarious, thanks!

But just because IMDB insist on longer reviews, here's an extended version: " Sure! Here's the expanded review:

This animation stands on the same level of excellence as shows like Family Guy and American Dad. The execution is nothing short of beautiful, blending sharp, vibrant visuals with fluid motion that keeps the eye engaged. The humor is super hilarious, striking a perfect balance between wit and absurdity, ensuring that every episode leaves you in stitches. The characters are well-developed, each with their own unique quirks and comedic timing that adds depth and variety to the show. The storyline is consistently entertaining, with clever writing and unexpected twists that keep you eagerly anticipating what comes next. Overall, it's a fantastic blend of humor, artistry, and storytelling that makes it a must-watch for any animation enthusiast. Thanks for creating such an enjoyable show!"
