    I am really on the fence with Son of Zorn. On one hand, it's a refreshing, unique, concept that is rarely seen outside of cinema. On the other, Son of Zorn feels like it could be better, could be funnier than it actually is. For whatever reason, it feel's oddly restrained a lot of times and many of the jokes fall pretty flat.

    The animated portion does not look like it interacts with the live action portion at all, resulting in stiff jokes that feel like something that wishes they were in Space Ghost Coast to Coast.

    The kind hearted plot may or may not be enough to make up for this.

    Brash jokes to the opposite extreme are good for a quick chuckle, but deeper laughs came from the above comparisons many of us find in day-to-day life. Still, what makes Son of Zorn an exciting new series is that it can go to both ends of the spectrum with consistency.

    Meadows was the one minor bright spot as the self-emasculating and self-deprecating therapist. Hines' allusions to a wild, coked-up past, Zorn's workplace woes, Pemberton's teen angst-these were all well-treaded tropes, and likely a missed opportunity for something more clever.

    It gets old the minute it starts.
