Chargés à bloc

Obliterated doesn't try anything it's not. It knows exactly what it is and that's an action comedy that spoofs those kind of films. My brother and I just finished it watching a t and we both said that we hoped they do another season. We grew up as kids in the 80's and 90's so we know all about the films this show was making fun of. Besides being a funny action series, it's also a pretty solid "get the terrorist" series. I read somewhere that it compares the counterterrorism thriller of 24. I can definitely see that. The entire cast is great here, especially Nick Zano. He's so good in this, I hope this leads to bigger things for him. He's definitely the stand out here. I liked him in Legends of Tomorrow but he is perfect for this role. He steals every scene he's in. Also, Shelley Hennig is as beautiful as ever and does a good job with Zano leading this rag tag group.

Outrageous, gratuitous nudity, violence and chaos. And I love it for that. Reminds me a lot of Blue Mountain State and the American Pie movies where things aren't supposed to make sense or provide deeper meaning, they're just fun for fun's sake. Honestly this show was a breath of pure entertainment fresh air. I loved the characters cartwheeling and crashing through each scene, and enjoyed turning off my brain and just letting it all wash over me. Choosing to do it as a series instead of a movie was a brilliant idea, crammed into a movie it would have felt washed out and done a million times before. Letting it all roll out over 8 episodes lets the show and characters really establish themselves. I hope more series like this get made!

I had no idea what to expect when I started watching Obliterated, the reviews were mostly positive and I thought the trailer looked pretty good so I thought I'd give it a chance. I'm so glad I did. This show had me laughing out loud at least a few times per episode. I had fun the entire time I was watching. Even though it makes fun of movies from the Sly/Arnold era, it also pays respect to them too. This show isn't going to win any awards but if you can just turn your brain off for little while I promise you that you'll have fun watching this. I actually binged all 8 episodes in a couple days. It's funny with plenty of action and twists to hold your interest every episode.

Obliterated is like '24' meeting the juvenile sensibility or hysterics of 'American Pie' and 'The Hangover.' It's crass, juvenile, and full of R-rated humor, but all that is part of its charm. It's just a fun, consistently entertaining show where you can shut off your brain and enjoy all the shenanigans it has to offer. It's mindless fun. I laughed a lot throughout its eight episodes, and despite the show's shortcomings, it definitely won me over and then some. The show delivered what it promised: a great, hilarious escape full of over-the-top action, juvenile characters plucked right out of '80s movies, as well as a game cast who knew what they were in for.

Yes the dialogue is cringy at times and the acting isn't great.

Yes its nonsensical and predictable.

But it's also over the top super fun. Reminds me of 90's comedies where they didn't give a damn and just made fun movies.

There's lots of comedy some of which I even burst out laughing which hasn't happened in a while. Action is decent with enough chases, gore, explosions, and fight scenes to keep it interesting. Then there's the over the top nudity scenes which are gross and sometimes hilarious.

Is it the best thing that has ever came out... No.

But it's an entertaining show worth watching.
