Hot Streets fans the show has aired the final episode of it's first season and since i've been talking about the show non-stop when it was airing here is my review of the series as a whole.
The plot of the show is Agents Mark Branski and Donald French team up with Branski's niece Jen and her cowardly dog Chubby Webbers to take on paranormal phenomena. I admit when I did my first impressions review a few weeks back I thought the show would be episodic but my god was I wrong because alot of what happens prior to the finale either gets a call back or characters reappear and I have to say I really enjoyed the plot of the show.
Starring in the show is J.D. Ryznar , Scott Chernoff , Baby Daddy's Chelsea Kane , Rick and Morty Co-creator Justin Roiland and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.star Ming-Na Wen. I have to admit I had no idea Agent May was in this show until someone pointed it out to me over Twitter and yeah she does a fairly good job in this show Scott tho could use a few more acting lessons just because his delivery is sometimes a bit off and Chelsea Kane is funny as hell.
There's no getting around it Chubby Webbers is Scooby-Doo if Scooby-Doo! was made by Adult Swim I mean lets look at the facts both are dogs , both are brown , both have something to do with the paranormal and both are cowardly there's literally nothing that separates the two characters plus both have a human best friend.
Now prior to watching the final two episodes of the show I watched the pilot episode and if you guys think the actual series is strange and weird you havn't seen nothing yet the pilot is way more bizarre then the series it self it is and to be frank i'm glad they toned it down for the series just because I could see that being of putting heck it was even a chore for me to watch and I wanted to wanted to watch it.
When I was getting ready for this review I found a great way to describe this series and it comes from a website called Inverse.com they describe the show as "Rick Sanchez from Rick and Morty gave the gang from Scooby Doo space drugs" and that is the best way to describe Hot Streets in my opinion just due to how freaking true it is.
Now I kinda get why people in the cartoon community don't talk about this show it aired at midnight so alot of people won't be able to watch it and to some like I said before due to how strange the show is it would put them of watching but I urge you to watch the show it's basically a stranger version of Rick And Morty which is not a coincidence since alot of people who write for Rick And Morty wrote for Hot Streets.
I'm not gonna lie the animation in the show can be pretty bad at times but I think that it adds to the overall charm of the show but bad animation is bad animation and I have no idea what they used to animate this show in but I wish they had gone the CGI route since they are alot of CG scenes in the show anyways so it would have helped the animation a little bit I think.
I feel that the humor of the show can be pretty mixed for every joke that doesn't work they'll throw in a joke that semi works but for me the best character to get jokes from is Chubby Webbers because for me he's like Kenny from South Park where you don't understand a word he's saying but at the same time you can't help but laugh at the situations he's in.
I don't really think this needs to be said but this is an adult cartoon but that said when i was doing research for the review I found out that one of the distributors for the show is Cartoon Network now I don't know if they still own Adult Swim and that's why there distributing this show but it feels strange that a channel for kids is distributing this strange and very adult show.
Overall this was a decent first season and I hope this show gets a second season because in my eyes this is a show that's worth watching but with all of that said it gets a 6 out of 10 from me.
