Pacific Heat

I was in here months ago and saw so many negative reviews, mostly all of them jumping on the "Pacific Heat is trying to be Archer" bandwagon (talk about unoriginal, guys!). Snore.

But as the pro-PH reviews explain, this show isn't trying to be Archer. At all. It's making fun of itself that it's not Archer! Plus, another important distinction is the tone of the humor: Archer is biting and sarcastic and the characters make fun of the Other, whereas the humor in Pacific Heat is innocent and silly and the characters are making mistakes or being airheads. Both shows are funny as hell, but they have different slants.

And for the Archer fans who are calling Pacific Heat racist, just...what??!! Every episode of Archer (and every other comedy out there, incidentally) is oozing with offensive humor aimed at one gender or demographic or another. So, you know. Stop.

Since there's only one season and I find it so delightful, I'm watching Pacific Heat now for the third time. One of the things I love about this show is that the banter is so constant and delivered so under-the-breath, as it would be in real life, that I'm STILL hearing one-liners that I missed the first two times around (the accent is heavy, too, which is another reason. I'll confess, I've used the subtitles more than once). It just makes me giggle so much.

Final analysis: Pacific Heat is silly and fun and clever and weird and I am hoping against hope that there will be more.

This isn't a review, I just think it's hilarious how so many people literally wrote the same thing. Over. And over. And over. And over.

We get it. It's not Archer. Thank you, oh super hero reviewers. You've made it obvious that not all heroes wear capes... Though, I'm pretty sure some of you wear helmets... To bed... To protect what, I'm still unsure of. But I'm pretty sure they're of an off-brand manufacturer.

I actually enjoy the series, I maybe insane, but I really stand by my statements. I enjoy the series as a whole, on how crazy the world works and sometimes how stupid people can be which always enjoy in comedy series.

I enjoy the adventures and the silliness they get into. I just want to give some love to a series that didn't give much love.

I got exactly what i expected from this series, its like archer, which isn't a bad thing at all.

Its a well written and animated series with interesting characters and light humor.

Its about a group of cops that work on impulse instead of orders and get in trouble with the higher ups because of it but it all works out in the end.

The plot is sort of like bad boys but with an archer theme.

Its well executed and paced, the viewer gets enough time to absorb the key points in the story and there's a gorgeous blond character to grab your attention.

The only problem i had with this series is that they keep using literal- ism as a means to induce humour which gets old really fast.

other than that its a great show and i recommend it as long as you don't have anything else lined up.

First of all, this show is not "trying to be Archer". The two have very similar concepts, but so do a lot of shows & movies. Also, in the Trivia section it clearly states "Despite being compared to Archer the concept for this show dates back to 1996 with the Working Dog radio serial Johnny Swank."

Secondly, for the people saying that it's offensive, it is no where near as bad as South Park, which millions adore. It's a comedy. It is certainly not the first or only comedy/comedian to have jokes like that.

It's not as good as Archer, but it is more ridiculous. It's quick-fire, outrageous, and daring. It's at least worth a chance.
