The first thing I want to say about this series is that it has an absolutely great opening theme song and title sequence, one of my favourite of any series I've watched.
The animation style is fun, it's similar to other popular series such as Rick And Morty. The premise of the series is also fun and intriguing. It follows the secret government behind the government and all their conspiratorial ways.
It plays on popular, well-known conspiracies and the "true stories" behind them. The series also features a number of fun pop culture and historical references. The overarching story isn't the best, but it doesn't really need to be.
The episodes are still very entertaining and enjoyable. Plus, two of the characters share my name, or at least in their instance it's their last names, but still, that was a funny thing to notice.
Lizzy Caplan lends her voice to the main role of Reagan Ridley, and I think she was pretty good, obviously it's slightly harder to review purely a voice acting performance, but I feel she did a very commendable job.
Christian Slater voices father Rand Ridley, and he also gives a good account of himself. Clark Duke voices the overly friendly but good-hearted Brett, and his voice carries that feel.
Brett Gelman, who followers of this account, as well as those with a keen ear, will recognise from Fleabag, plays the strange yet hilarious Magic Myc, who is a living, dare I say magic, mushroom.
John DiMaggio, a man known for his involvement in shows such as Futurama, Adventure Time and Disenchantment, plays Glenn Dolphman, who's character is what he sounds like. Half dolphin, half man. His voice acting versatility shows itself once again.
Finally, I'll mention Bobby Lee and Chris Diamantopoul, who's roles were slightly more minor but still worth their salt.
Overall, I'd say this is a fun little series, and I hope it's second season, assuming there will be one, lives up to and surpasses this debuting one.
