Queer Force

Kinda funny, fully silly and definitely enjoyable. I do feel they kept it a tad to clean though for a fully adult show and it's a tad too adult to be for the younger crowds.

It's highly entertaining reading some of the ridiculous hate on here as well! ; )

Before I start this review, i would just like to say that I'm a bisexual trans guy. Obviously I'm a member of the LGBT community, but obviously not everyone shares the same opinion as me. Some like the show and some won't, and that's fine as long as we respect each other. The initial teaser made the show look atrocious, but the show is a different story.

Summary: Basically a team of secret agents, but the catch is they're all queer.

Writing: Pretty mixed bag. One moment it could be rather serious and poignant, shedding a light on growing up and homophobia. On the other hand, it has that particular brand of milennial humor, gross-out, and LGBT stereotypes galore. There's even a character named Twink for crying out loud. 1/2 I suppose.

Characters: Steve is pretty sympathetic and the first episode made me feel bad for him. I quite like Stat too, mainly her design. Twink is very annoying though and I hate his design. Who names a character Twink? 1/2 again.

Music: One of the tolerable parts of the show. Typical spy jazz akin to James Bond. There's no official theme song because certain cartoons these days can't be bothered to make one. 1/2

Animation: It's not very special, that's all I have to say. I will give props to the art style - at least it doesn't look like a Family Guy ripoff. 1/2

Voice Acting: Another tolerable part of the show. The actors did the best with what they were given and I can appreciate that. 2/2

In conclusion, 6/10. It's not a horrible show, just very mediocre leaning towards okay. I understand the need for all kinds of queer stories, but shows that hinge on yasss queen stereotypes aren't my cup of tea. I just want to be treated like everyone else.

You know that feeling of curiosity when a show only gets ratings on either end of the spectrum? Yeah, me too. So, I watched the first two episodes.

If you are like me: not offended by LGBTQ themes, but neither care too much then Q-Force is only a mediocre show. Just the discourse around a show is not enough to justify its existence. And this is really what Q-Force is. It's meant to either rile up or make people feel morally superior.

Underneath is a cast of OK characters that I don't see developing much depth. I chuckled at some of the jokes, like the Tracy Chapman one in the first episode. Some or many of the jokes I might have missed being not the target audience, YMMV. Story wise it's aimed at young teens I guess? Kind of flashy, fast paced but also kind of flat. Animation is good.

If you want to get riled up or instill a sense of moral superiority, then this might be for you. If you want to kick back on the couch after a long day, then go find something else with a bit more quality. It really isn't bad though, just not good either.

Q-Force will probably run for a couple more seasons if it doubles down on the social issues and then gets discarded on the pile of shows nobody remembers.

Doesn't take itself too serious and unlike the 'legitimate' critics, you shouldn't either.

In these times, a fun little show not out to hurt anyone, is perfectly welcome.

Some ppl are just taking it too personal and in the wrong way. I have friends that are just like the characters and also one straight from Ru Paul drag race. Good to have something funny to watch.
