Paradise PD season 3 recently arrived on Netflix, and I just finished watching it.

A lot more toilet humor than I like to see in the first few episodes, but the season did get better as it went along. The jokes are hit-or-miss, often using obscure references or mistaking excessive edginess for humor. But there's also some creative ideas in this show that I love.

Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law ended in 2007. Then it came back for one last special in 2019. Now, a spin-off is on it's way!
Birdgirl premieres April 5, 2021.

Birdgirl Trailer


Also, Final Space Season 3 has begun!
Season 2 was a bit of a disaster. From the first episode, Season 3 shows the potential to possibly redeem this once-great cartoon.

I am absolutely going to watch Birdgirl when it drops, because the very concept of Birdgirl Antics excites me, and then I am absolutely going to be unsurprised when it's just strings of cringe-inducing condescending woke memes regurgitated onto a canvas of nostalgia.

I'm hoping it isn't but with how things are now days I don't have high hopes.

If it's by the same creators, hopefully it should be fine. Edit: It contains one of the original creators, and one new one.

It also seems like they might not be able to use Hanna-Barbera characters for HBO Max reasons?

I hope it has COURTROOM DRAMA because honestly that tied the whole OG series together.

Hope that's not true because that means almost the entire cast will be gone.

Yeah that was... the entire charm of the OG series, actually. Otherwise it's just like... I dunno, another one of those rando Adult Swim IP's that lasts half a season.

I intend to hold out hope for good, funny Birdgirl stuff tho.

I finished watching Close Enough, seasons 1 and 2.

This plot is exactly like Regular Show, except with a bit more mature humor. So regular folks just trying to do regular things but inevitably getting caught up in supernatural forces or cosmic entities from which they narrowly escape with their lives.
If you liked Regular Show, definitely check this one out.

DOTA: Dragon's Blood recently appeared.

It's all about humans and elves and various beastmen who all hate each other and when they're not busy trying to survive in a world full of monsters they're breaking out into wars over whose god is the least shitty. It's all rather cliché, but well executed imo. At least from what I've seen so far. I'm only halfway through the season and very much enjoying it.


At the same time, season 2 of Solar Opposites and the first 3 episodes of Invincible just appeared, along with the first episode of Elliot from Earth. It's too much all at once! I look forward to enjoying each of these shows as time allows.

First episode of Birdgirl is out, and oof...
I really wanted to like this show, but it's gonna be pretty hard to redeem after that start.

It seems like they've tried to trade the wacky/funny style of Birdman in favor of more dramatic interpersonal relationships and more exciting superhero antics. But without the humor, both the drama and action are just too stupid to be interesting.


Season 2 of Solar Opposites was more of the same, in a good way. Ridiculous antics from the aliens parallel to more serious drama from the people in the wall. Both are very well done in their own way, but at the same time I can understand how some people might find it difficult to enjoy two very different styles juxtaposed.

Invincible is a fairly blatant ripoff of DC's superhero universe, but they pull it off well.
It's basically a Superboy coming-of-age story, combined with evil Superman, and a fairly gory setting where heroes and civilians alike get brutally deleted on a daily basis.
Love the 40-minute format. Lots of content to soak up in every new episode!

They made an animated series for Invincible? That's surprising. It's a fairly bloody series if the one battle I've read is any indication.

Cheers for this, I gave it a watch last night and really enjoyed it. Given how much I hated the trailer, I wouldn't have tried an episode without your prompting!

It's definitely Rick-and-Mortyish but it's so much less depressing. Also goes back to the good old semi-improvised Roiland dialogue I sorely missed. Looking forward to seeing more.

16 episodes into Elliot from Earth, and it's got a whole lot of filler. I feel like I could have skipped episodes 5-15 without missing a beat.

Apparently it's created by the same team behind Amazing World of Gumball. I'm not feeling the similarity. It reminds me more of Hilda, with a cast of diverse and charming if somewhat boring characters and generally chill atmosphere.

Too much filler and too low-energy for my taste...but other people may enjoy this one.

I laughed a bunch at the first episode of birdgirl, tho. Is not bad.
