Animation fans Netflix are kinda hit and miss when it comes to there animated shows for every good one they release they bring out two or three terrible ones and now they are at it again hot of the heels of the release of Disenchantment comes Paradise PD so lets get it on.
The basic set up for the show is a bunch of cops solve crimes but believe it or not there kinda is a story being told I say kinda because it's more of a mystery then a story but I like the fact that the show not only has stand alone episodes but also has episodes that add to this ongoing mystery and it helps that the set up does make the show stand out from other Netflix animated shows.
Starring in the show are Sarah Chalke as Gina Jabowski , David Herman as Kevin Crawford , Tom Kenny as Chief Randall Crawford , Kyle Kinane as Bullet , Cedric Yarbrough as Gerald Fitzgerald , Dana Snyder as Stanley Hopson and Dusty Marlow , Grey Griffin as Mayor Karen Crawford , co-creator Waco O'Guin as Robbie and co-creator Roger Black as Dilbert.
I'll be the first to admit the acting in the show was alot better then what I was expecting it to be I was expecting the acting to be terrible at best but no the acting was for me one of the best things about the show and for me alot of that comes from who's been cast and I have to admit that for awhile I thought they actually cast Earnie Hudson.
Doing the animation for this series is Bento Box Entertainment and honestly the animation for me is just OK it's nothing really special but at the same time there's nothing really bad about it but tho I will say that for intro they kinda change the animation style to something that I would say is anime inspired and I loved that since it was so well done heck I even thought that that should have been how the police officers see themselves when in reality there not that good but using it for the intro is good to.
I'd like to admit something right now I straight up forgot about this show I was so focused on Disenchantment and the upcoming The Dragon Prince that this show just slipped my mind so when I checked some online streaming sites and I saw this up I was shocked so bottom line kids don't just think about the good shows think about the shows that are just OK as well.
As you might have guessed this show is made by the same team behind Brickleberry heck they even share some of the same cast and since I havn't seen that show I can't say which is better but I know that some people liked that show so I thought it was worth mentioning and I guess you could make the argument that the shows have a similar animation style but in terms of character designs the shows are very different so your not going to mix the two shows up.
Just going back to what I brought up before this show does have a season long mystery and while I did find that refreshing the mystery in my eyes was very poorly told they give you no clues at all in this mystery and the episodes that are connecting to the mystery are split up for a long time so the filler episodes just seem like there trying to prolong something that doesn't need prolonging.
I don't know how many of you animation fans have seen the show but for me at least the best character on the show is Gina and it's not just because she's played by Elliot from Scrubs it's because she is just so insane and funny that I honestly found myself just waiting for her scenes because I knew that if she did something insane (which would happen most of the time) then I would laugh but there's more to her then just laughs she also has a troubled family life since all of her family members are robbers.
I don't really think that this needs saying but each episode is only around half an hour long so if you wanted something that's just some harmless fun to binge for a weekend then this is the show for you but I will say do not let any kids watch this show it's not made for them this is an adult animated comedy.
When I say that this show is an adult show I don't just mean that it's adult in what it's themes are I mean that it has alot of body humor and I mean alot I can't even think of ways to word the amount of body humor jokes there are in this show but you also see people's insides in pretty much every episode and that to me is the shows biggest downfall it's an adult show for the sole purpose of having characters swear and do drugs and that's really it.
The jokes in the show overall are a mixed bag like I said there's alot of body humor in this show and if you like that kind of humor then this show has got you covered but for me the best jokes were honestly the meta jokes since they were so well done there's a few more solid jokes in there as well but you have to get threw alot of terrible ones to get to them.
Overall this show is just OK for every good thing about it there's a thing about it that's bad and int his case that to me is a good thing since not every show needs to be deep as Steven Universe or as action packed and full of wonder like Adventure Time so as if you can't guess already this show scores a 5 out of 10 from me.
