This is such a weird, fast-paced animated trip, and you don't even need drugs to help. But as an American, I love and appreciate this change of pace. Side note: This is the beginning of something big...mark my words, Michael Cusack will be the next big voice in adult animation, will even replace Justin Roiland. I love weird, I love wacky, as long as the humor syncs with my own style. I'm also a sucker for Australian culture and entertainment, especially as of late with the new Hulu semi-hit "Koala Man," which I also recommend. This show has it all, it seems. It lacks direction, but that's what makes it fun.
As a side note, it feels like "Super Jail" had an Aussie baby with "Squidbillies." I swear, is Rachael even human? Or is she a demon from hell, hellbent on just trying her/its best to fit in with humanity?
This show feels like you need drugs of any and all sorts. You do, and you do not. It also makes you want to be Australian, for some weird reason. It's loaded with Australian culture, and you'd have to be a bloody wally (yes I looked that up) to turn away that charming Australian accent that ALL the characters have.
This show has the feeling of that obtuse, singled-out kiosk at a trendy art fair that pulls you in and makes you hate yourself for having the slightest interest in what it's selling. It feels like the avant-garde indie flick at Sundance that just "works." It's got so many issues and eyebrow-raising moments that you doubt it often, but then it pulls you in with it's quick wit and charm.
I dunno. I recognize it's stupid, and I'm sure it's more fun for someone who enjoys some of the more "recreational" substances, but I feel like it can be enjoyed by anyone who loves strange, random, Aussie humor.
