It Grows on You

The first episode, it didn't really appeal to me. I thought it was going to have cruel or stupid humor, and be offensive, as so many cartoons now days are. And don't get me wrong, it kind of does have cruel and slightly offensive humor.

It isn't stupid though, which is a good thing. There is character motives and development. It's good to see a show with this quality. The characters actually have a reason to do the things they do, rather than just forced for the plot.

The show is about an archeologist and his assistant. In this world the archs are like celebrities. There is a subplot where the main guy is responsible for his girlfriend's death, while being betrayed by his previous assistant. Anyways, it's a comical version of Indiana Jones or Romancing the Stone, treasure hunt type adventures.

The comedy is pretty good. It can be hit-or-miss. But there are so many jokes, some of them can't help but land. The talkinng is very fast, with like 10 jokes per second. Lol

I really like the female assistant. Her voice really has a Melissa Galsky (Home Movies) quality. I thought it was her, and had to look her up, to realize it wasn't. Anyways, I loved her in Home Movies, and this girl acts and sounds like her.

All in all, I recommend this show. It isn't super good or even really memorable. It is entertaining though, and even rewatchable. I've rewatched most of the episodes, multiple times. Though the episodes are self contained, there's also an overarching story. I am excited to see where it goes. I think this show has a future. Give it a chance. Though, I do recommend watching at least a couple episodes before writing it off. It took a couple, for me to get int it.
