Calling Obliterated a "genre-blender" is like calling a blender a kitchen appliance. It's a full-on genre smoothie, where the action of a spy thriller gets blitzed with the raunchy humor of a frat party and the absurd chaos of a comedy on acid. And honestly? It's a surprisingly delicious concoction.
The premise is pure fun: an elite special forces team, fresh off saving the world from a nuke in Vegas, wakes up with epic hangovers and no memory of the night before. Turns out, the nuke was a decoy, and the real bomb is still ticking. Cue the frantic search for clues, hidden amidst their debaucherous blackout, all while dodging assassins, deciphering riddles from their hungover brains, and somehow trying to avoid the cops they woke up naked on top of.
The cast is absolutely game for the ride. Nick Zano and Shelley Henning lead the charge as Riptide and LuAnne, a mismatched duo with undeniable chemistry, while the rest of the team is a hilarious hodgepodge of personalities, from the straight-laced CIA analyst to the conspiracy-obsessed techie. There's literally someone for everyone to laugh with (or at).
The humor is crass, unapologetically juvenile, and unafraid to push boundaries. Prepare for bodily fluids, outrageous one-liners, and enough pop culture references to fill a comic book store. But beneath the surface, there's a surprising amount of heart. These characters, despite their flaws and questionable life choices, are actually pretty endearing. You root for them to save the world even as they're stumbling through it hungover and half-naked.
The plot, admittedly, can get a little convoluted at times. Flashbacks blur with the present, conspiracies twist and turn, and sometimes you're left wondering if anyone on screen actually knows what's going on. But honestly, that's part of the charm. Obliterated doesn't hold your hand. It throws you into the blender with the rest of the ingredients and lets you enjoy the ride.
So, if you're looking for a show that's equal parts hilarious and thrilling, with a dash of the absurd and a whole lot of heart, then Obliterated is your jam. Just maybe keep the kids out of the room, and have some aspirin handy for the morning after. Trust me, you'll need it.
**Final verdict:** Buckle up for a wild ride through Vegas, vodka-fueled amnesia, and enough explosions to rival an airshow. Obliterated is a genre-bending blast that's guaranteed to leave you laughing, gasping, and maybe a little bit hungover. And isn't that what Saturday nights are for?
And as I said above...some scenes are not recommended for under 18...you know..... Vegas ..
