Obliterated

Yes the dialogue is cringy at times and the acting isn't great.

Yes its nonsensical and predictable.

But it's also over the top super fun. Reminds me of 90's comedies where they didn't give a damn and just made fun movies.

There's lots of comedy some of which I even burst out laughing which hasn't happened in a while. Action is decent with enough chases, gore, explosions, and fight scenes to keep it interesting. Then there's the over the top nudity scenes which are gross and sometimes hilarious.

Is it the best thing that has ever came out... No.

But it's an entertaining show worth watching.

An American cross-services military team has been assembled to track down a loose nuke possibly in Las Vegas. Ava Winters (Shelley Hennig) is the intelligence leader. Chad (Nick Zano), Trunk (Terrence Terrell), and Angela Gomez (Paola Lázaro) are the muscle. Haggerty (C. Thomas Howell) is the unusual bomb tech. Maya Lerner (Kimi Rutledge) is the shy computer tech. Paul Yung (Eugene Kim) is the Air Force pilot and protective father.

It's a Netflix action thriller comedy series. It's rated a little lower than most and there is a reason. It's not a series to be taken seriously. It's outrageous and silly and there are so many d's. It's a ridiculous time and it is a bit uneven. This very much depends on the viewer's mindset.

Obliterated is what would happen if the Mission Impossible Movies and the Hangover Movies had a baby, raised their child in Florida, then set it to the biggest party college in Nevada. Then, after the child discovered there was no "super spy" degree, said child dropped out of college and got a job at the Las Vegas Tourism department.

Definitely not for everyone. It is raunchy, stupid, full of sex, drugs, and guns, but it also has a surprising amount of heart. The relationships can be very sweet, the characters are fun, and if you can suspend disbelief for the duration of the show, it's a fun ride.

To quote one of my favorite reviewers, "It's trash, but it's my trash."

Obliterated is like '24' meeting the juvenile sensibility or hysterics of 'American Pie' and 'The Hangover.' It's crass, juvenile, and full of R-rated humor, but all that is part of its charm. It's just a fun, consistently entertaining show where you can shut off your brain and enjoy all the shenanigans it has to offer. It's mindless fun. I laughed a lot throughout its eight episodes, and despite the show's shortcomings, it definitely won me over and then some. The show delivered what it promised: a great, hilarious escape full of over-the-top action, juvenile characters plucked right out of '80s movies, as well as a game cast who knew what they were in for.

Obliterated doesn't try anything it's not. It knows exactly what it is and that's an action comedy that spoofs those kind of films. My brother and I just finished it watching a t and we both said that we hoped they do another season. We grew up as kids in the 80's and 90's so we know all about the films this show was making fun of. Besides being a funny action series, it's also a pretty solid "get the terrorist" series. I read somewhere that it compares the counterterrorism thriller of 24. I can definitely see that. The entire cast is great here, especially Nick Zano. He's so good in this, I hope this leads to bigger things for him. He's definitely the stand out here. I liked him in Legends of Tomorrow but he is perfect for this role. He steals every scene he's in. Also, Shelley Hennig is as beautiful as ever and does a good job with Zano leading this rag tag group.
