Exploding Kittens

Yeah...so I gave this a fair shot since I figured a lot of the negative reviews were just brigaiding from the religious lot. Nah though, it's just not that great.

It feels like the "hello fellow kids, I too enjoy musicband" of adult animation. The jokes aren't *bad* but they are kinda stale and tryhard. The visual gags are a little bit better, but only a little bit. The dialogue/voice acting is a kind of Upbeat Quirky Snark™ that was already feeling done to death 10 years ago. It just feels so, so generic, "safe", like it was made purely for mass commercial appeal by a panel of old men.

The parenting jokes are overdone and not well integrated. The teens are so clearly written by adults that don't know any teens. The cats are seriously underutilised and when they do get screen time it's more imitation edginess that just doesn't land. It's boring. It's a shame because the concept isn't a bad one, it just totally fails to deliver.

I can't even call it bad - it's not interesting enough to be bad - but it's really not good either.

First of all I will say, I didn't know it was a game but I just loved this!!! Tom Ellis' voice made this for me, knew it immediately and great casting! I'm surprised at the low ratings and I think it should be all 10's. I definitely lol'd throughout and actually binged it, went right through and enjoyed every single minute. I recommend this to everyone I know, especially cat lovers. I agree with one reviewer who said everyone needs to relax and chill out! This was never meant to win an Oscar, it's just pure comedic entertainment. Although I think I'm going to rewatch Lucifer again! Need me some Tom Ellis.

Exploding Kittens is an absolute blast! The show brilliantly captures the quirky, fun essence of the original card game, delivering laugh-out-loud moments in every episode. The animation is vibrant and energetic, perfectly complementing the zany antics of the characters. The humor is spot-on, appealing to both kids and adults alike, with witty dialogue and clever scenarios that keep you eagerly awaiting the next explosion of fun. Whether you're a fan of the game or new to the franchise, Exploding Kittens is a must-watch for anyone looking for a wildly entertaining and hilariously unpredictable experience.

It is on the same level as good as Family Guy or American Dad, beautifully executed and super hilarious, thanks!

But just because IMDB insist on longer reviews, here's an extended version: " Sure! Here's the expanded review:

This animation stands on the same level of excellence as shows like Family Guy and American Dad. The execution is nothing short of beautiful, blending sharp, vibrant visuals with fluid motion that keeps the eye engaged. The humor is super hilarious, striking a perfect balance between wit and absurdity, ensuring that every episode leaves you in stitches. The characters are well-developed, each with their own unique quirks and comedic timing that adds depth and variety to the show. The storyline is consistently entertaining, with clever writing and unexpected twists that keep you eagerly anticipating what comes next. Overall, it's a fantastic blend of humor, artistry, and storytelling that makes it a must-watch for any animation enthusiast. Thanks for creating such an enjoyable show!"

I've seen some negative reviews of this show that I don't really agree with. The humour is not the most original or deep but it still works. The reason why I want to see this get higher reviews is that it's the first direct to steaming adult cartoon I have seen in a long time that actually cares about the animation. It has its own look, unique character designs ,fluidity, colour, all the things that Netflix animation has lacked few years. And they haven't fill that with celebrity voiceovers which is a big Plus it's been a long last time since I saw a cartoon that used professional voice actors and I think it makes a difference.
