Watched a few more eps. It’s getting better. I even laughed out loud at something but now o forget what that was.
The monkey is incredibly violent and lethal but has a good heart. He only grunts but when he’s speaking to other animals, dogs, cats, rats, or flashback visions of his clan’s murdered elder, there are subtitles. Sudeikis is dead but comes back as a wisecracking narcissistic ghost bound to the monkey, and his running babble got funny once I could relax into it.
And the animation has improved. It’s still not that good but at least it’s acceptable now.
The best part is that there’s now a ghost assassin named Yuki. It’s a ghostly woman in a flowing white robe dress. When she first materialized, I had to catch myself because my first thought was that it was silly to introduce ghosts into this animated world but then I caught myself, remembering that a sentient macaque who carries a pistol and a katana is enough for all ‘reality’ bets to be off.
I hope Yuki comes back into play because she was just in one episode. The way she is actualized isn’t great but it’s far more acceptable.
Hope to finish season 1 before Hulu dries up.
