The Awesomes is a fun, offbeat take on the superhero genre with a mix of irreverent humor, quirky characters, and engaging storylines. Created by Seth Meyers and Mike Shoemaker, the show balances satire with genuine character development, making it more than just a parody. The voice cast, featuring Meyers, Ike Barinholtz, and Kenan Thompson, brings a lot of charm and energy to the series.

While the animation style is simple and might not appeal to everyone, the writing makes up for it with witty dialogue and creative superhero antics. Some jokes land better than others, and the show takes a little time to find its footing, but overall, it's an enjoyable watch for fans of comedic superhero stories. Not groundbreaking, but definitely a solid and underrated animated series.

I created an IMDb account for the sole reason of voicing my opinion about this show. To be blunt, this series is only 3 episodes in, and I'm loving it. As the only other review so far on IMDb points out, this isn't Family Guy, The Simpsons, or American Dad w/ super powers... and that's a good thing. Here's why.

I enjoy shows like the ones I just mentioned, but very rarely do you find a show like this, with the courage to propose continuity without taking itself too seriously. This show isn't cynical of it's world or it's audience, and it's frankly refreshing to find a superhero comedy that isn't willing to sacrifice it's characters just for the quickest low-brow guhawf.

The Awesomes is very earnest in it's desire to present an new Super Hero comedy that isn't dark or gritty, but also isn't an acidic parody of the genre. So far it surprises with it's general lack of foulness, and isn't willing to compromise it's vision by catering to the lowest common denominator. I say give it a watch and here's hoping this show will get the audience it deserves, as well as keep away from compromising creator vision, which would be awesome!

The Awesomes are great! I don't know why but, people who tend to write negative reviews about shows are often sad little people who are disappointed that their favorite shows are no longer interesting or a pale imitations of themselves. Well, my thoughts are don't take issue with something new because your old dried up crusty shows haven't covered the same topics the new shows are covering. Comparing this to Family Guy is so embarrassing because they really have nothing in common besides writers named Seth, former cast members of Mad TV and being animated sitcoms. No the fact is that the show lacks a lot in common with many of these shows the other reviewers have mentioned, so if I were you, I'd disregard sad old men who can't make an objective analysis of new shows because they're still stuck on shows that have lost their mojo or been canceled. The Awesomes are actually quite addictive. I think the fact that the show focused a good amount of time of some the formation process of the team and its rivals, is something you don't often see but, they have fun in the process. Many of the other shows often, have awkward or unexplained transitions that further their plots, The Awesomes plot is generally revealed in more naturally textured plot lines that mirror funny, yet, exaggerated real life situations. The show isn't exactly predictable, if you ask me but, it does maintain a certain level of character structure that keeps each character from just spitting out random jokes that don't suit the personalities built into the show. Altogether The Awesomes manage a good balance of animated and superhero surrealism, comedic quality and actual characters that aren't being offered by many shows that readily change the characters up just to fit whatever jokes pop into the writers heads.

It seems that many reviews have been throwing around show titles such as Family Guy, The Simpsons, American Dad, and more. If these are what you are comparing the show to, then yes, you will in fact be disappointed, because it is nothing like those shows, and that is exactly why I love it. I have never liked Family Guy or American Dad, and The Simpsons have their best days behind them. This show how ever picks up where it left off almost every single episode, and that is what I crave. I don't just look for a stream of quick laughs, but rather a compelling story line that isn't afraid to put the time and effort in to earn my laughs. Sorry, but watching a guy hold his knee and go "Ahhh" for two minutes straight just doesn't cut it for me. I need character development, and situational humor, which is exactly what The Awesomes offers. I certainly hope this show lasts a very long time.
