I highly recommend it, I didn’t know what to expect when I heard Mike Judge was involved; Beavis and Butthead and King of the Hill are both so iconic, and this looks pretty different and has a much different premise. But I’m excitedly waiting for the next season!
- I thought it was pretty good, has a very interesting sort of sci-fi psychadelic premise. Mike Judge did voice acting for a surprising number of the show's characters. Also pretty funny timing that they put out that show with its Big Pharma evil conspiracy so close to the UHC CEO murder.
I liked what I saw of it but the animation style is painful for me to watch. I think I finally understand people who get motion sickness from games.
- Yeah it really doesn't matter how good a show is if the art style doesn't work for you the show's going to be a dud. This one does not work for me either.
Really top show! Love it, cant wait for season 2! Happy that people aare taking notes :)
Paywall.
- Indeed. I did try to look for an archive link.

I still feel it would be a great backdoor origin story for the last of us (although you would need to throw out some of the stuff the show brought in.)
- Back before game of thrones snd west world went sour I really wanted them to make GoT be a world inside of west world.
Love this series. I understand the animation style being divisive, but the rotoscope feel just adds to the atmosphere for me.
