Review: This Netflix original series is rated "16+ for language, nudity, sex, substance, violence", and it delivers on all those promises! I was looking for more adults TV-series after Final Space and Disenchantment and found this one which doesn't follow in the footsteps of The Simpsons or Futurama but rather South Park and Family Guy in that it has almost no taboos. In fact the family issues and more obviously the talking dog relate it a lot to the latter. For some reason I like to watch Family Guy episodes but I got very quickly uninterested and bored by American Dad although by the same creator. And I also kind of liked Paradise PD, I think because of its unconstrained excesses. Be very careful that it is not the kind of animated TV-series to show to your kids, as you will notice within minutes into the first episode. Most of the action is vastly exaggerated as are the characters: drug-addict dog, black cop not using guns, gross police chief who got divorced by the woman now mayor after he lost his masculinity because of a son who now wishes to enter the force! Also a violent female cop attracted to her obese partner, an elderly cop with doubtful sexual preferences, and for some episodes a tiger team including a Stephen Hawking ersatz and head-Siamese twins. If you are adult and distant enough not to be outraged and revolted by the series, you can find it entertaining and tension-releasing.
Rating: 6 /10
