Mulligan

Mulligan is utter trash - cheap humor, boring, no depth at all and the potential of the backstory was not used in any captivating way. After the pilot I was skeptical, but thought: "maybe there will be a nice twist to it". But nothing - instead of using the backstory of a rebuilding world creatively as a breeding ground for true conflicts and hurdles to design a great story, stories which can only be told within an animated series, it was just used for toilet humor and cheap nonsense.

Truly great shows like Final Space & Inside Job are cancelled for god knows what reasons, for this? At this point, where amazing shows are gone and only cheap and superficial trash is offered, alongside all the other negative Netflix decisions, I am rethinking my subscription.

This show is a cheap rip off of inside job but much lazier and none of the charm. Jokes are attempting an American Dad level of maturity without the likeable characters or witty social commentary. Just truly odd and embarrassing that they would release this so soon after canceling Inside Job an apt and hilarious social commentary that made all the jokes Mulligan attempts, but well. The animation feels pretty lackadaisical and inconsistent. Each character trope feels tired and like there are much better examples throughout even Netflix's offerings. We have seen the dumb bro who lucks into a great life, the hot ditz with a heart of gold, the too smart, overwhelmed lady who hates that nobody values her brains etc. None of the characters are much more than their tropes. This is just another example of Netflix not understanding what the fans want.

This is like Independence Day meets Idiocracy.

I started watching it, and halfway through the first episode I had to quit. I went on to see old Malcom in the Middle episodes so I could laugh.

I know Mulligan had jokes, they are pretty obvious. But they're awful. I laughed only once. For the rest, I was only able to acknowledge the jokes.

I feel bad for not completing the episode, I wanted to give it a chance, maybe it is not comedy and I am not understanding it?

Anyway, I didn't like it, but it's not that I don't get the jokes, they're there, they're just not funny. The main character is annoying right from the start, including his voice, and the rest add nothing.

Like others have said, we've had final space and inside job cancelled with quite high ratings and while I'm watching Mulligan I'm just wondering what was going through the mind of the person who green lit this.

So far it's a four star from me, 4 episodes in and it's just a bit boring. It's a show that leans heavily on stereotypes as the basis of every joke, every situation is built upon the stereotype rather than having a funny situation.

Just be careful about getting invested, even if you like this show, it's a low-ish rated show and if they are cancelling highly rated shows then what chance does this have.

This show is undeservingly underrated here on imdb and it's such a shame. It's a good show. Sure, not on Bojack Horseman level, but still good. I thought it would get canceled after only one season because of the bad rating, but I was pleasantly surprised when I found out that they had released a second season.

The show is about Washington D. C after it and the whole USA (or world?) was severely attacked by aliens. The show follows the surviving citizens (and one stranded alien) on their quest to build up a decently functioning society again..

Give it a chance, despite the bad reviews.. Maybe you'll actually enjoy it?
