Mulligan

Mulligan is utter trash - cheap humor, boring, no depth at all and the potential of the backstory was not used in any captivating way. After the pilot I was skeptical, but thought: "maybe there will be a nice twist to it". But nothing - instead of using the backstory of a rebuilding world creatively as a breeding ground for true conflicts and hurdles to design a great story, stories which can only be told within an animated series, it was just used for toilet humor and cheap nonsense.

Truly great shows like Final Space & Inside Job are cancelled for god knows what reasons, for this? At this point, where amazing shows are gone and only cheap and superficial trash is offered, alongside all the other negative Netflix decisions, I am rethinking my subscription.

This show is a cheap rip off of inside job but much lazier and none of the charm. Jokes are attempting an American Dad level of maturity without the likeable characters or witty social commentary. Just truly odd and embarrassing that they would release this so soon after canceling Inside Job an apt and hilarious social commentary that made all the jokes Mulligan attempts, but well. The animation feels pretty lackadaisical and inconsistent. Each character trope feels tired and like there are much better examples throughout even Netflix's offerings. We have seen the dumb bro who lucks into a great life, the hot ditz with a heart of gold, the too smart, overwhelmed lady who hates that nobody values her brains etc. None of the characters are much more than their tropes. This is just another example of Netflix not understanding what the fans want.

Which is why I rated it a 6 a bare standard for finding something worth finishing. The concept is cool, aliens wipe out most of humanity and those that lived have to figure out how to run society again. The execution is very lame, but I like a little drama to spice up my comedy's and you will find none of that here. The two female leads and the alien seem like the only characters worth watching. There isn't much to really see here as most of the show is just a parade of letdowns. I think the best episode was with the false prophet, or not so false. The last surviving senator was funny at times as well. Just give this a pass and watch inside job if you want something close to this.

They really do green light anything anyone comes up with. I mean netflix has put out some real winners like Bojack horseman, Big mouth its spin off Human resources, F is for family, Disenchantment. Love sex and robots. I dont watch Anime so wont go into those. So netflix has a track history, even Agent Elvis, had its moments. This outing by Netflix should quickly disappear and never be seen again. It is no way funny at all, at any point, end stop. And right there you don't need to go into the voice acting or anything else it just so horribly written and a complete waste of a good concept that it has NO excuse. I would rather get a second season of Hoops (which wasn't that good) then to ever sit through another episode of this show. I realized that what this reminded me of what the new series on HBO "Fired on Mars" unfunny, unwatchable, and a waste of good actors.

Like others have said, we've had final space and inside job cancelled with quite high ratings and while I'm watching Mulligan I'm just wondering what was going through the mind of the person who green lit this.

So far it's a four star from me, 4 episodes in and it's just a bit boring. It's a show that leans heavily on stereotypes as the basis of every joke, every situation is built upon the stereotype rather than having a funny situation.

Just be careful about getting invested, even if you like this show, it's a low-ish rated show and if they are cancelling highly rated shows then what chance does this have.
