Season 1 Review: George Takei is Hit-Monkey’s best surprise. His performance as Shinji Yokohama is compelling, shocking, and heartbreaking (perhaps in that order). He has great chemistry with Olivia Munn, who plays his niece Akiko, and their scenes together are quietly effective. ... The series is highly bingeable while also providing satisfying individual installments. ... However you choose to watch Hit-Monkey, you’re in for a treat. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Monkey has moments of remorse and seems to hate being a killer, but at the end of the day, Hit Monkey is at its best when it’s simply a show about a monkey killing bad guys. Read full review

Season 2 Review: The second season of Marvel’s Hit-Monkey is better than the first, simply because the show’s creators figured out how to make it funny and deepen the show’s characters at the same time. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Hit-Monkey himself isn’t a bad character, as one-joke characters go, and he grows more expressive as the series goes along. By the end of the finale, I was curious about more of his adventures, but I would recommend either a change in setting or an expansion of the writing staff, beyond people hung up on flaccid quips and caricatures. Monkeys deserve better. The genre deserves smarter. Read full review

Season 2 Review: Its leftover characters feel scattered, while its new ones feel interchangeable, all as the series sets up a more interesting premise for a potential third season somewhere down the line. Read full review

Season 1 Review: We’re just not sure where the show is going to land on the tonal line. Takei and Munn’s characters could go either way. And, given that we don’t know a ton about Bryce, we may learn things about him that bring out Sudeikis’ considerable dramatic acting ability. We don’t need Hit-Monkey to be all serious or all funny. But it’s really hard to get a handle on what it wants to be, much less where it’s headed. Read full review

Season 1 Review: All told, “Hit-Monkey” is a prime example of a show that has all the makings of a good time, with a ridiculous, borderline silly plot and a talented cast and crew to bring it to life, but somehow everything is botched along the way. Read full review

Hit Monkey is a delightful romp that hits all of the familiar notes of the reluctant assassin genre while feeling playful and occasionally heartfelt. Great voice acting with George Takei as a particularly standout, effective character design and good fight animation.
