Sunday Safe BetWhy it’s a Sunday Safe Bet
It was critically acclaimed. A safe bet when you want something reliable.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Made for anyone who wants a laugh, sci-fi fans and action fans. If you loved Harley Quinn or Archer, start here. Critics rate it higher than audiences do, so it rewards patience more than it chases thrills.
- The mood
- Provocative satire that goes after everyone.
- The pace
- 7 seasons, but most episodes stand on their own, so you can dip in anywhere (about 22 minutes each).
- What might put you off
- Rated TV-MA: expect sex.
- It was cancelled, so the story may not get a proper ending.
Hank and Dean Venture, with their father Doctor Venture and faithful bodyguard Brock Samson, go on wild adventures facing megalomaniacs, zombies, and suspicious ninjas, all for the glory of adventure. Or something like that.
