9/10
It's addictive
17 April 2022
I don't know why, but this show is just addictive. I kind of was annoyed by the liberal seeming lean to this show. However, it is still totally enjoyable and addictive to watch. I've rewatched most of the episodes multiple times. Every time I am slightly annoyed by the left leaning or millenial seeming plot points. However, every time I still enjoy watching, and keep watching.

The interplay between the main characters is one of the shows strong points. They have good dialogue and chemistry. I also like each of them individually. I particularly like the main detective guy.

I remember reading about The Venture Brothers, which John Hodgman has appeared in. For that show, the creators had said that it was a show about failure. I feel like that applies here too. The characters are believable. They are not some all together characters. They are struggling in this world. I think that makes them more relatable.

Along the same lines, that makes me root for their success, over the course of the show. I am watching them grow, similar to The Venture Brothers. They have failures and successes, gaining inch by inch, a sense of of their selves. Maybe that is why it is so addictive. Even though each episode is a self contained story (I'm very grateful for that.), their is a sense of character growth.

The animation style is really good. I really like the animation.

Also, it just absurd, in general. Overall, I strongly recommend it, while at the same time it does make me wish for the death of Millennials and Gen Z types, which the show seems to embrace. Most of their clients are these types. I hate most of their clients. Lol I do suspect that the main characters also sort of hate them. Even though they do imply a few times their left leaning nature, insulting white males, embracing gender fluid cross dressers, and insulting Nazis.

Even with all those things, which I disagree with, I still really like this show. That is saying alot. Because, I am not usually willing to overlook those types of things. So, the show must be really good in other ways. And it is.
