    “Kite Man” is a sitcom — a very good sitcom — with just enough serialization to satisfy today’s plot-obsessed audiences but more than enough warmth and joy for anyone who just wants to laugh along with their TV buds each week.

    Chuck and Glider are easy to love, but without proper context and examining their issues, there’s nothing fresh about them. Though Chuck is supposed to be the hero of the series, he comes off as the supporting player again. In a world of huge personalities, he feels kind of beside the point. Still, it’s hard to dunk on a show (or a bro) as winning as Kite Man.

    Kite Man: Hell Yeah! is a STREAM IT, especially if you’re already versed in the brash and bloodsoaked goings-on of the Harley Quinn animated series. This is a fun, foul-mouthed send-up of the superhero genre with expressive voice acting and a gleeful murderous streak that guarantees its NSFW-ness.

    If the plot of “Kite Man” doesn’t always quite soar, the dialogue is a ton of fun. .... The best part of the show — and the best part of “Harley Quinn” — is Bane (James Adomian), and he gets more screen time as the season goes on.

    As a less-ambitious but still funny sidestory for Harley Quinn, it gets the job done.

    It doesn’t even rival Harley Quinn’s freshman season. But it’s certainly a worthy enough attempt to buy entry into the franchise, and it’s wholly worth your time.

    Kite Man: Hell Yeah! squanders an excellent voice cast and a solid premise with weak humor and shallow sitcom plots.
