Capitano Fall

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.

This show pleasantly surprised me thinking it was going to be another schlock fest animated series that Netflix is dishing out, but I was wrong. The animation style isn't bad, and the story kept me invested so it made me curious of what will happen in the next episode. Great pacing that leads to easy binge watching. The concept is original and not another copy and paste just for the sake of it. The animation style wasn't dry or lazy. If you appreciate absurd comedy shows like Venture Bros, Rick & Morty, Archer, and South Park, you'll dig this. For sensitive viewers, you'll not like the absurd humor. Just give this show a go and see if you like 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 is an example of a great adult animated tv series which doesn't overstay its welcome in any of the episodes and the season of 10 episodes is perfect for a show like this... there is so much room to explore multiple more seasons and in many ways I hope this is the next long lasting animated tv show.

Not only are the characters well developed and relationships don't appear forced but the arks of each of the characters is intriguing and none of the individual plot points seem shoe horned into the series.

The over arching plot line is also consistent within the first season and is set up to continue hopefully into the many seasons to come... whilst each episode has its own 'subplot' which has significance to the character development or main plot line.

Unequivocally, it is a tv series I would recommend everyone to give it a watch and it definitely deserves more love then it had received (due to the lack lustre marketing)...

PLEASE RENEW

P. S. for at least an additional 2 more seasons...

I so enjoyed this series. Watched all 10 episodes in two binge sessions. Reminds me of Archer. Dark humor mixed with absurdist situations. I had no idea that the producers are also responsible for Norsemen one of my other comedy favorites.

The premise here: a global criminal enterprise headed by a James Bondian villain, Mr. Tyrant, is using a luxury cruise ship to carry out its nefarious objectives, e.g. Human trafficking to stock a human zoo; slaughter of tigers to make a powerful, dangerous ED treatment; kidnapping and body parts harvesting of albinos for good luck charms; a deal for a child-army to protect an illegal Chinese mining colony -- minerals for green EVs! -- in Africa.

To further this enterprise our villain has his people recruit the dumbest most gullible ship's captain on earth: Captain Fall. The good captain is surrounded by sociopaths, mercenaries, and plain old criminals, but he is oblivious to their schemes and his being framed.

Despite their bad behavior, the characters are likable / relatable in a strange, adult-cartoon sort of way. I am looking to know more about their backgrounds in what I hope is season 2. It's a great ensemble cast.

As for the plot, well, it's involved and veers this way and that. There is plenty of un-PC situations and funny stereotypes in each episode so that's a plus.

The dialog is filled with dry humor. Some of it reminds me of the banter from Norsemen. The characters often reveal themselves to be overly self-involved and unfocused on the task at hand. My fave: a short scene where two Norwegians who have escaped from a human zoo in the wilds of Africa debate about how and when, and what it should look like when they head in to a nearby city and return to civilization.

Now this series is not for everyone. Send the kids to bed, for sure. Lots of violence and sexual situations. The swingers club episode is particularly graphic and the dialog explicit, X-rated I suspect.

I watch very few adult cartoons so I am viewing this with a different lens than most reviewers here. But for me this was great fun. Kudos to Jon Iver Helgaker and Jonas Torgersen the producers / creators and Netflix for buying.
