I've been a fan of the Axe Cop comics for over a year now. I love them for their zany, bizarre, random, and extremely imaginative story lines and characters, as well as the phenomenal art. When I heard they were making a TV show out of it, I was torn. I was ecstatic that it was getting a TV show, but I was nervous about it being terrible.
Then I saw the first episode, and absolutely loved it. They almost perfectly captured the essence of the comics. Sure, it's not quite as crazy as the comics, but I'm sure that was just so it would appeal to a wider audience. This is the type of show I can put on and just laugh nonstop for 11 minutes. It's hilarious! It looks, feels, and sounds just the way I would want an Axe Cop TV show to look, feel, and sound. All of the actors in it are great, and give an excellent performance as their characters. Nick Offerman is especially perfect, playing Axe Cop himself, and fully capturing his rather emotionless and psychotic demeanor. And again, this show is extremely weird, but in a delightfully imaginative way. It'll shock you into laughter with it's unnecessary violence and dark dialogue. For example, the episode Birthday Month has an evil Santa Claus who wants to go to Heaven "To kill God and become Jesus! Obviously!". I kid you not, he actually says that. This is just one of many hilariously dark things in this show.
If you love shows like Adventure Time and Regular Show where weird and creative things happen, you'll definitely like this. It's darker than those shows, but has the same sense of humor and imagination. The only weak episode so far is Babysitting Unibaby, everything else is just pure gold, my favorites being... well, all of them except that episode!
I'm not sure how long it'll last with it's weird time slot and the fact hardly anyone knows about it, but I'll watch it to the very end.
