I'm not sure what my hopes were for this due to hearing about it so late but hearing that Ezra was attached to it did excite me thinking about some original indie rock music being featured, which it is not. The first episode is slow and pretty pointless, it seems to grab characters from different franchises and just remodel them. I can't count of all the shameless gimmicks that are appointed to this from celebrity cameos to product placement. The last time I watched something filled to the brim with product placement was season 1 of 90210. The advertising in this animation is shameless and almost in every scene.
Voice acting in this series is so disjointed to the animations, the voices lack so much effort and energy, anybody from the street could had done a better job. Story-wise it is fairly basic and vanilla, in terms of 'character needs' they seem to lack a goal. Maybe a few more drafts and a cast swap it could be more impressive due to the art and colour. So I guess the good thing I grabbed from this series is the use of colour which I find very pretty. I expected something far more creative from a Netflix original.
If you're into student indie film, I guess this will fit you perfectly but it's nothing to be marvelled.
