Capitano Fall

This show pleasantly surprised me thinking it was going to be another schlock fest animated series that Netflix is dishing out, but I was wrong. The animation style isn't bad, and the story kept me invested so it made me curious of what will happen in the next episode. Great pacing that leads to easy binge watching. The concept is original and not another copy and paste just for the sake of it. The animation style wasn't dry or lazy. If you appreciate absurd comedy shows like Venture Bros, Rick & Morty, Archer, and South Park, you'll dig this. For sensitive viewers, you'll not like the absurd humor. Just give this show a go and see if you like it.

Well I did not see this coming.

I can't really explain what it is. It is not laugh-out-loud funny. But it was a cathartic experience for me. If you are tired of the mind-numbing idiocy all around the world, and would want to have a beer with Dan Harmon and the ghost of George Carlin as they brutally mock them all, well, this show gets you partway there.

Bloody-handed Russian oligarchs, shameless oil sheikhs, clueless Scandinavians, insufferable middle-aged married couples that you hate on TV, none are safe.... from savage mockery.

I expect the average viewers will not be able to appreciate this. I hope Netflix knew that when they signed up for this show, and keep new seasons coming regardless.

This is an example of a great adult animated tv series which doesn't overstay its welcome in any of the episodes and the season of 10 episodes is perfect for a show like this... there is so much room to explore multiple more seasons and in many ways I hope this is the next long lasting animated tv show.

Not only are the characters well developed and relationships don't appear forced but the arks of each of the characters is intriguing and none of the individual plot points seem shoe horned into the series.

The over arching plot line is also consistent within the first season and is set up to continue hopefully into the many seasons to come... whilst each episode has its own 'subplot' which has significance to the character development or main plot line.

Unequivocally, it is a tv series I would recommend everyone to give it a watch and it definitely deserves more love then it had received (due to the lack lustre marketing)...

PLEASE RENEW

P. S. for at least an additional 2 more seasons...

This is something I haven't seen before. Not that I can think of, anyway. At first I thought it would be like Archer. But it's much darker. It's such a complete juxtaposition. Silly on one hand and on the other hand, uncomfortably dark. I could see people being offended by the way the subject matter is treated. But it's not all for superficial laughs. There is a very sinister undertone. I found myself laughing at the buffoon looking through the wrong end of the binoculars in an episode about child soldiers. Includes many tonal shifts and many levels. It's absurd and serious at the same time. People saying this is just normal comedy that they've seen before must be watching it while they're ironing. It's a show that says "Look how silly this guy is. He doesn't even realize that he's being used to murder multiple people (on screen) and kidnap people to be used as sex slaves. Haha isn't that funny?" Isn't it?

Recently I feel like a lot of the animated shows (Especially on Netflix) are just somewhat unoriginal or just boring. And I thought this would not be different, however I was gladly mistaken. Captain fall excels at having an engaging storyline and fun characters. Which I am surprised about as from the first episode I thought that fall looked like a boring uninspired character, however as the show progressed I began to like him more and more. Unlike in other animated TV shows like 'Farzar' where I just hated the protagonist more and more. As for the tone and theme it's awesome and feels like Archer, which is one of my all time favourites. It's also worth mentioning that it is not super funny considering it's a comedy however that does not matter as the story is engaging enough. And it did have a couple of laugh out loud moments. All in all it's a great show and I highly recommend watching it.
