Digman!

The first episode, it didn't really appeal to me. I thought it was going to have cruel or stupid humor, and be offensive, as so many cartoons now days are. And don't get me wrong, it kind of does have cruel and slightly offensive humor.

It isn't stupid though, which is a good thing. There is character motives and development. It's good to see a show with this quality. The characters actually have a reason to do the things they do, rather than just forced for the plot.

The show is about an archeologist and his assistant. In this world the archs are like celebrities. There is a subplot where the main guy is responsible for his girlfriend's death, while being betrayed by his previous assistant. Anyways, it's a comical version of Indiana Jones or Romancing the Stone, treasure hunt type adventures.

The comedy is pretty good. It can be hit-or-miss. But there are so many jokes, some of them can't help but land. The talkinng is very fast, with like 10 jokes per second. Lol

I really like the female assistant. Her voice really has a Melissa Galsky (Home Movies) quality. I thought it was her, and had to look her up, to realize it wasn't. Anyways, I loved her in Home Movies, and this girl acts and sounds like her.

All in all, I recommend this show. It isn't super good or even really memorable. It is entertaining though, and even rewatchable. I've rewatched most of the episodes, multiple times. Though the episodes are self contained, there's also an overarching story. I am excited to see where it goes. I think this show has a future. Give it a chance. Though, I do recommend watching at least a couple episodes before writing it off. It took a couple, for me to get int it.

I thought the show was great. They clearly put a lot of work into throwing as many jokes as they could into the writing. I love that the show doesn't try to get deep or meaningful or serious, there's too much of that in the world. The show is just good fun.

Andy does an amazing job as usual but his assistant was really fantastic and really lifted the show. I love the storyline - the idea that "Arkies" are like rock stars. I feel like he could tone down the Nic Cage stuff but it really works for the character...otherwise I guess it would just be Andy being Andy.

After one episode I am genuinely interested and seeing where the story and characters go.

Positives: The show has a good concept, and I particularly enjoyed the ending of the first episode. The voice dubbing cast is outstanding, featuring several actors from Brooklyn Nine-Nine and even Daniel Radcliffe from the Harry Potter movies. The episodes are short, and there's no laughter track.

Negatives: It would have been better if all episodes were released on the same day.

There are several archaeologist terms that may be difficult for the average viewer to understand.

While the show has its moments, it could have been funnier, and the side characters could have been better.

After watching 4 episodes, I have decided to skip this show because it has become boring and unwatchable.

I loved it.

Someone who loves archeology and history, it really clicked.

Some inside jokes and so, but generally anyone can like it.

Its goofy and aimed at adults. I first thought it was going to be a kids show as it is a Disney series.

But nope. Its more like Family Guy, American Dad, Inside Job, Rick and Morty. I guess more toward Rick and Morty because the episodes seem to be adventures.

But yea, its goofy like that.

Its about this deadbeat ex-archeologist who has been living in depression after becoming a widower and losing his job.

He gets an opportunity to get another chance of becoming an archeologist again and on his side he has this bright girl who does all the thinking for him and a monkey-like creature thats on crack.

I would recommend you guys giving it a shot and watch the first episode at least.

It has cursing, drugs and so, so maybe not good to watch with your kids.

I mean, I would if I had a kid, but just want to warn you.

Looking forward to more episodes!

Well shortly after my review of Oddballs the Netflix series, I finally got what I was looking for afterall. Digman takes notes from Danger Mouse 2015, The Loud House and Buddy Thunderstruck and acts as a done-right version of Scaredy Squirrel. The characters actually have arcs and motives for their actions and are justified by who they are as the series progresses.

The adventures that Rip and Saltine go through feel like actual adventures and have a unique comedy twist for each one. Hopefully, this one would last more than 2 seasons because it THAT good a series.

BTW, Saltine is easily the best character as she's basically Sid Chang.
