Oats Studios (2017–2020)
3/10
Had a few good ideas, then they needed to finish a season

I didn't see any reviews or recommendations for this show before stumbling upon it in my netflix browse. Upon the first two episodes I thought I had stumbled upon a hidden gem. The first two episodes are really great, good effects, average to decent acting, somewhat thought provoking, and which each episode being different they didn't need to deal with complex character growth.

Then I clicked on the third episode and it felt like a completely different series. Episodes 1 and 2 were gritty, and very well put together. Where episodes. 3,4,6,9 and 10. All felt like they were based off of one liner jokes you tell your coworkers. "wouldn't it be funny if the president was like a frat guy" (episode 6). "or what if god was really just some guy playing a board game and we were like little people he controlled like in sim city" (episode.4).

To think Oat Studios heard these one liner, not very funny or interesting and certainly not unique ideas and thought they could stretch them to full episodes is bizarre to me. They don't even achieve stretching to a full episode because each of these already short (less than 10 minutes including credits) episodes into multiple parts which breaks any hopes of immersion or interesting perspective they could've hoped to display.

"Adam Episode 2" while having OK animation in a cool scenario builds up to absolutely nothing, where you need to watch part 3 for it to start to have any kind of rematch value. Towards the end of the series i was genuinely thinking some of these episodes have got to be a parody or something as they reminded me of 2010 Smosh videos in an 2009 video game animation format.

The only episodes I thouroughly enjoyed were the longer ones , being episodes : 1,2,and 5. With "adam episode 3" being decent.
