    The Midnight Gospel lets Ward go nuts without any network censors or content restrictions, and the team over at Titmouse absolutely runs with it. So while the combination of creative talent behind the scenes is a winner, this new series is likely only going to appeal to the Adult Swim crowd.

    I gave up 5 minutes in. I couldn't pass the neurotic navel-gazing and the insufferable spitfire inane dialogues.

It is clearly influenced by psycedelics both in its topics and its animation. I must say that I quite like the show but I can see it not being for everyone.
