    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.

    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.

Where some may find it "funny", I found it to lack any sense of real comedy. Sadly, I couldn't make it through the 1st episode, not that gore bothers me, it was the lack of watchable "content" that did.… Full Review »

I had to double check that Jason Sudeikis was the lead because I couldn't believe he delivered his dialog so badly. Supposed funny dialog is just unfunny.
    All that's left is murder porn and gross out moments, which doesn't bother me, but it's not like this wants to be 'Spawn'.
    The writers/cast/director apparently think they're funny and are trying to make 'Archer'.
    I barely made it through the first episode. You couldn't pay me to watch a second. Watch 'Archer' instead.    … Full Review »

Throughly enjoyed it. Voice acting was great and while it didnt blow my mind, it entertained me and had me laughing at the absurdity of many of the situations that coalesced from the many odd parts involved.… Full Review »
