The Awesomes is a fun, offbeat take on the superhero genre with a mix of irreverent humor, quirky characters, and engaging storylines. Created by Seth Meyers and Mike Shoemaker, the show balances satire with genuine character development, making it more than just a parody. The voice cast, featuring Meyers, Ike Barinholtz, and Kenan Thompson, brings a lot of charm and energy to the series.

While the animation style is simple and might not appeal to everyone, the writing makes up for it with witty dialogue and creative superhero antics. Some jokes land better than others, and the show takes a little time to find its footing, but overall, it's an enjoyable watch for fans of comedic superhero stories. Not groundbreaking, but definitely a solid and underrated animated series.

The show has a great cast, and a great premise. I'd say it's relatively enjoyable to watch, not necessarily funny, but enjoyable nonetheless. Its main issues are in a few character's voice acting and a few sections of writing. Although Malocchio had very strong acting, Prock's is far too monotonous and dull. Just unbelievably cringe- inucing for the first season. It gets progressively less so as the series progresses, but it is an issue that persists throughout the entire series in some capacity. Ultimately, its most prominent issue lies in the actual action sequences. The show seems like it's supposed to be satirical, but it actually tries to be serious in the fight sequences. It comes across as forced, and just generally childish in comparison to most of the show. However, when it does attempt to stick by satire, it is far stronger. In summary, the show is enjoyable, but it get's a fair bit better as the series progresses. I wouldn't call it "great", but it's fun, and worth a watch.

Huge SNL fan here, and follower of Mr Meyers, Paula Pell, and their entertaining tweets. You got to give Seth points for taking his comic book love plus our nostalgia for Saturday morning cartoons and cranking it up with clever dialogue and a well rounded cast of characters. C'mon, how many other supergroups have this many female fighters or a hero with mommy issues? Add in some questionable super powers, old lady love, brains, and brawn.... and you get The Awesomes. Even the product placement works --- Kudos to the sponsor for playing along with the gag. Bonus - You'll have fun guessing all the familiar voices. Thank goodness for the 'pause' button! Add in the Ambiguosly Gay Duo, and I'd give it a 10.

I created an IMDb account for the sole reason of voicing my opinion about this show. To be blunt, this series is only 3 episodes in, and I'm loving it. As the only other review so far on IMDb points out, this isn't Family Guy, The Simpsons, or American Dad w/ super powers... and that's a good thing. Here's why.

I enjoy shows like the ones I just mentioned, but very rarely do you find a show like this, with the courage to propose continuity without taking itself too seriously. This show isn't cynical of it's world or it's audience, and it's frankly refreshing to find a superhero comedy that isn't willing to sacrifice it's characters just for the quickest low-brow guhawf.

The Awesomes is very earnest in it's desire to present an new Super Hero comedy that isn't dark or gritty, but also isn't an acidic parody of the genre. So far it surprises with it's general lack of foulness, and isn't willing to compromise it's vision by catering to the lowest common denominator. I say give it a watch and here's hoping this show will get the audience it deserves, as well as keep away from compromising creator vision, which would be awesome!
