The Telegraph Benji Wilson

Season 1 Review: It’s the kind of thing that could easily come across as smart-arsed, an idea dreamt up by a couple of the many Hollywood big shots who are Elvis fans as they supped energy drinks on private jets. Yet Agent Elvis is, in the round, a blast for the viewer too. The steadying hand of Mike Arnold, a long-time writer on the excellent Archer, keeps things on an even keel. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The central voices are uniformly delightful, but particular praise must go to Cheadle, who practically sings his dialogue and has sharp comic timing that brings the best out of even the silliest punchlines. Read full review

Season 1 Review: McConaughey’s smooth Southern drawl is the perfect fit for Presley, the animation is fluid and attractive, and the laughs come at you quickly. It’s a raucous good time, and deserves a good, old-fashioned try – even by suspicious minds. Read full review

Season 1 Review: On visual strength alone, this would be an easy recommendation, if only it were more consistently funny and had a more fitting lead voice actor. As is, it’s still a pretty good time despite some cringy gags. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Sometimes the vulgarity verges on try-hard (“monkey-spunk” gets a mention), but part of the fun is wondering how much the real Elvis (who spent much of his career shunted into cheesy family-friendly films) would have approved. Read full review

Season 1 Review: “Agent Elvis” succeeds more as a curiosity than a comedy, which is to say, I found it only occasionally funny — blood splatter doesn’t do it for me, I confess — but generally interesting, if only to see what scenes and references might turn up next. ... The series looks good, especially in its cartoonification of Elvis, all midcentury swooping lines and angles. (Robert Valley designed the character, and fashion designer John Varvatos received a screen credit for his wardrobe.) McConaughey’s performance, which is more McConaughey than Presley, is like honey on the ear. Read full review

Season 1 Review: As ideas go, though, this one feels too out-there for its own good. The streaming service couldn’t help falling in love with its potential and promotability, but not to be cruel, they probably should have labeled this pitch “Return to sender.” Read full review

While the tv show is very beautiful in its art style, it doesn't change the fact that the story is horribly written. Looking from an outside perspective, this show looks pretty interesting.

Looking from an outside perspective, this show looks pretty interesting. A secret society that recruits famous celebrities to do its work that takes place in the late 60s & early 70s... sign me up! Though once you finish watching it, you will sadly be disappointed. The entire show is basically a copy of Archer with very dumb and primitive sex jokes and A LOT of unnecessary curse words. It felt like the writers had to use these cheap and stupid tactics to appeal to the millennial/Zoomer audience. The first few episodes aren't bad, but it gets progressively worse the further you watch it. Plus, I forgot to mention how woke the show also is. Almost every episode circles around a modern issue facing America regarding racism and sexism.
In the end, I salute to the hard-working artists and animators that made this show with their blood, sweat, and tears... and a big middle finger to the writers that once again, keep ruining Hollywood.… Expand

An excruciatingly bad Archer ripoff with all the satire replaced with excessively crude sexual "jokes." It feels designed to cash in on the surprise success of Elvis, but the idiocy of the writing surpasses even that film's threadbare self indulgence.
