    Hit-Monkey hits it out of the park with an absolute hilarious and non-stop badass story with fantastic character development all around. No one is left behind and each character comes away fully developed and fleshed out. One of the few Hulu Marvel shows to be a true hit, in my opinion. Lady Bullseye was a great villain, really hope we get a second season.

    Idiotic plotting. Poor acting. 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'.

    I barely made it through the first episode. You couldn't pay me to watch a second. Watch 'Archer' instead.    … Expand

    This show "Hit-Monkey" is far from being a HIT for me. I found the focus on blood, gore, and sexploits to be disgustingly overemphasized! I was totally disappointed with Marvel at producing this series. 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 watchableThis show "Hit-Monkey" is far from being a HIT for me.

    Fun, irreverent and even a little emotional. 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.

    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.

    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.

    Given what it takes to render a world like this, and the glimmer of potential it does show, something like “Hit-Monkey” should never feel this hollow.
