A show that carries the quintessential "McCracken" charm that generally permeates through all his work. Loveable, appealing characters who receive solid development through the series. Deliberately unique and charming art style that looks straight out of a comic book. Deeply emotional and wholesome moments, good action scenes, all tied together by an intergalactic plotline (a personal weakness of mine).
Sufficed to say, Netflix did not give this show the fair promotion it deserved and sort of huddled it away once it was completed. In any case, if you love any of CMC's work, you'll adore this.

Craig McCracken, the guy who made three of my favorite animated shows, The Powerpuff Girls (1998), Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends and Wander Over Yonder. And now he made a new show on Netflix called "Kid Cosmic" which features a boy called "Kid" (that's his actual name) and he is obsessed with superhero stuff. He likes to help people around until and he found five cosmic stones and he has super powers. His other friends and family has super powers to due to them having different separate cosmic rings. The animation is pretty good and both the comedy and the writing are clever. Also it has a story development which is one of the codes of the show. Kid Cosmic is considered recommendable, if you are fan of The Powerpuff Girls (1998), Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends and Wonder over Yonder, you are gonna enjoy this show. I give this show a 9.8/10
Both seasons had me blown away. I love the art style and the music is really nice to listen to.
There's an awesome balance of humor, action, story, and character development that makes this one of my favorite kid's shows of all time. Even if you're not a kid, don't skip on this!!!

A show created by Craig McCracken is enough to get me excited especially since I grew up watching The Powerpuff Girls and Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends. So, Kid Cosmic is a fun show with its clever storytelling and great characters about a boy named Kid who finds five cosmic stones and assembles a team of people he knows to become heroes. Each episode is a lot of fun and will get you pumped for season 2 like each Marvel movie gets you excited for the next movie. It's a great show for superhero fans and fans who grew up in the 2000s when Craig McCracken's shows ruled television. Also, if there's a character that won me over, it's the little girl Rosa. You'll see what I mean. This show is like The Avengers but it's more like a wonderful tribute to comic books.
Netflix knows its animation. For me, The Dragon Prince and Kid Cosmic are 10 for 10. Kid Cosmic is near and dear to my heart also because its animation style and its overall visuality is a refreshingly original one in today's animation landscape. It's wacky and cute.
Yes, the Kid is cringy, and he shouts a lot. But that's exactly because he is what he is. And he grows a lot by the end of the first season. He is totally relatable, because as Stuck Chuck put it ever so succintly, he "sucks" at being a superhero. But what he lacks in ability he more than makes up in heart.
But this is an ensemble show if there ever was one, and all the characters are good to great. My personal favourites? Stuck Chuck (absolutely hilarious, especially his Hungarian dub who adds yet another layer to his obstrusiveness), and of course, Tuna Sandwich.
And finally, about the storyline... It's hardly original, but it's really good, and the twists and turns in the last 3 episodes would fit a serious scifi series, too.
Crain McCracken did it again. BRING ON SEASON TWO!
