    This show is an animated soap opera with super heroes. It is very funny and witty. The animation is not always on point but who cares it does not have to be. Enjoy the show for what it is. 20 minutes of animated fun.

    Humor is a subjective thing so not everyone will find this humor appealing. If you like dry sarcastic witty humor then this is for you. I have watched all 10 episodes. I can say that it starts out really slow but gets better the further on I watched. The voice acting is serviceable but not great, the animation is passable but nothing to jump at. However, the stories are well written theHumor is a subjective thing so not everyone will find this humor appealing. If you like dry sarcastic witty humor then this is for you.

If there is a second season I will watch.… Expand

    It can be funny but i'ts only when it's with the heroes, any other time it tries it just doesn't work, especially with the villain. But it's pretty entertaining and I do watch new episodes regularly.

    More annoying than funny. I expected more from someone like Seth Myers. The writers seemed to confused between take every opportunity to be asinine instead of doing something actually creative and funny. Over-all very predictable, and insulting of my intelligence.

    Just not that funny at all. Was hoping for something funny from Seth Myers but this is not delivering. Just can't find anything all that original with this. Full disclosure though, I turned it off half way through the first episode.

    It tries to be edgy and wacky, like some of crossbreed of Drawn Together and The Incredibles, but for all its gimmicks, it doesn't do any of them particularly well besides the inevitable failure of team-leader Prock. But even those failures are so predictably cringe-worthy that I'm 8 episodes in to the series, and it's just not at all entertaining.

    It has some good jokes, but this overly familiar spoof lacks the strength to push the envelope. [2 Sep 2013]

    As one would expect from a Seth Meyers cartoon, The Awesomes can be knowing and clever, with a positive attitude that skews a bit arch.

    The Awesomes is charming, but your enjoyment of it may depend on how much you may already feel over-saturated with animation.
