    Other reviewers here are absolutely correct, I don't think the writers had any dreams of winning an Oscar but this show is hilarious. If you're looking for some slapstick comedy and if you like shows like Archer, BoJack etc, you will definitely like this show. The graphics could be better.

    I enjoyed the pacing of the characters speaking, sometimes hard to keep up but it was just different and I enjoyed that. There is no plot but I'm sure that was purposeful. I personally liked the jokes. Also I'm curious as to how people would see this as racist haha. Like, I really didn't even notice the race of the main characters and I (as a minority) don't really care about which personI enjoyed the pacing of the characters speaking, sometimes hard to keep up but it was just different and I enjoyed that.

It was just a fun show, trying to actively look for things like this that's going to offend you is just not a good attitude. You don't have to like the show but to say it's racist is a bit of a stretch.… Expand

    It is a good mindless comedy show. People that are being negative are not wanting to watch mindless comedy. No it does not have a real plot. It is a bumbling special police group on cases. Don't watch for serious story or depth. It is just to unwind and laugh. Slapstick comedy and in that respect it delivers very well.

    The hate for this show is unnfounded. It isn't amazing but it is brand new. I think people are forgetting just how low quality archer was when it started. It is a fine show.

    WORTH WATCHING FOR MINDLESS ENTERTAINMENT: The negative reviews are by SJW snowflakes who can't determine the difference between racism and stereotypical comedy. Blazing Saddles would melt their feeble minds. Is it an Archer rip off? Oh yeah. That doesn't always = bad. Once again, snowflakes don't understand that either. The show is really stupid humor and it seems exactly like somethingWORTH WATCHING FOR MINDLESS ENTERTAINMENT: The negative reviews are by SJW snowflakes who can't determine the difference between racism and stereotypical comedy. Blazing Saddles would melt their feeble minds. Is it an Archer rip off? Oh yeah. That doesn't always = bad. Once again, snowflakes don't understand that either. The show is really stupid humor and it seems exactly like something Mel Brooks would have written. It is TONS cleaner than Archer; in terms of cussing, innuendos and basically animated sex. Archer is funny; but this manages to do it without being R-Rated. It is stupid humor (and smart humor is there too), but don't let hypocrites call it racist or sexist, ESPECIALLY when Archer is the same or worse. The ONLY reason they don't decry that on Archer, is they "like" it more; as the hive mind mentality of SJWs is astonishingly real. Because, if it is widely accepted as popular, they wouldn't bat an eye at the supposed racism/sexism; but, since it isn't as popular they seem to have their sensitivity meters on overdrive. Once again, humor is being killed by winebags who don't enjoy a show; and instead of just saying they don't enjoy it, (most likely due to peer pressure and being slaves to what pop culture calls good/bad, they play that SJW card. Just like the Race Card if you don't like some popular show that features black people or agree Adele won on merit, not whiteness. SJWs are maddening; stop letting them poison your minds and think for YOURSELVES!… Expand

    Pacific Heat refuses to give its characters any breathing room, instead overstuffing each episode with an overabundance of zingers and ultimately pointless gags.

    Pacific Heat feels hollowed out and devoid of even the slightest measure of personality. Even the animation design feels completely apathetic and bare-bones, which might have been fine if the writing had elicited any emotion beyond boredom and one or two blips of offense.

    It’s not anywhere close to what’s needed to make this kind of humor work, and just one more reason you shouldn’t be wasting your time on this wannabe when the real thing is one click away.
